7 0

Answer:

Distance is 50m

Displacement is 0m

Explanation:

Distance is based on the amount of length you covered, regardless of where you end.

Displacement only considered where you started and where you ended, which is at the same spot in this case. Therefore, no displacement.

Piano tuners tune pianos by listening to the beats between the harmonics of two different strings. When properly tuned, the note
Sophie [7]

(a) 2 Hz

The frequency of the nth-harmonic is given by

f_n = n f_1

where

f_1 is the fundamental frequency

Therefore, the frequency of the third harmonic of the A (f_1 = 440 Hz) is

f_3 = 3 \cdot f_1 = 3 \cdot 440 Hz =1320 Hz

while the frequency of the second harmonic of the E (f_1 = 659 Hz) is

f_2 = 2 \cdot f_1 = 2 \cdot 659 Hz =1318 Hz

So the frequency difference is

\Delta f = 1320 Hz - 1318 Hz = 2 Hz

(b) 2 Hz

The beat frequency between two harmonics of different frequencies f, f' is given by

f_B = |f'-f|

In this case, when the strings are properly tuned, we have

- Frequency of the 3rd harmonic of A-note: 1320 Hz

- Frequency of the 2nd harmonic of E-note: 1318 Hz

So, the beat frequency should be (if the strings are properly tuned)

f_B = |1320 Hz - 1318 Hz|=2 Hz

(c) 1324 Hz

The fundamental frequency on a string is proportional to the square root of the tension in the string:

f_1 \propto \sqrt{T}

this means that by tightening the string (increasing the tension), will increase the fundamental frequency also*, and therefore will increase also the frequency of the 2nd harmonic.

In this situation, the beat frequency is 4 Hz (four beats per second):

f_B = 4 Hz

And since the beat frequency is equal to the absolute value of the difference between the 3rd harmonic of the A-note and the 2nd harmonic of the E-note,

f_B = |f_3-f_2|

and f_3 = 1320 Hz, we have two possible solutions for f_2:

f_2 = f_3 - f_B = 1320 Hz - 4 Hz = 1316 Hz\\f_2 = f_3 + f_B = 1320 Hz + 4 Hz = 1324 Hz

However, we said that increasing the tension will increase also the frequency of the harmonics (*), therefore the correct frequency in this case will be

1324 Hz
