Caroline, a piano tuner, suspects that a piano's G4 key is out of tune. Normally, she would play the key along with her G4 tunin

g fork and tune the piano to match, but her G4 tuning fork is missing! Instead, she plays the errant key along with her F4 tuning fork (which has a frequency of 349.2 Hz), displays the resulting waveform on a handheld oscilloscope, and measures a beat frequency of 76.7 Hz. Then, she plays the errant key along with her A4 tuning fork (which has a frequency of 440.0 Hz) and measures a beat frequency of 14.1 Hz.
What frequency is being played by the out-of-tune key ?
a. 363.3 Hz
b. 451.1 Hz
c. 33.9 Hz
d. 272.5 Hz
e. 425.9 Hz

Answer:

e. 425.9 Hz

Explanation:

The computation of the frequency is being played by the out-of-tune key is shown below;

Given that

Δf1  = x - 349.2 = 76.7.........(1)

Δf2 = 440 - x  = 14.1......(2)

Now solve (1) and (2)

(440 - x) - x + 349.2 = 14.1 - 76.7

789.2 + (-2x) = -62.6

x = 425.9 Hz

Hence, the frequency is being played by the out-of-tune key is 425.9 Hz

Therefore the option e is correct

A race car has a centripetal acceleration of 15.625 m/s2 as it goes around a curve. If the curve is a circle with radius 40 m, w
myrzilka [38]
The centripetal acceleration is given by
a_c =  \frac{v^2}{r}
where v is the tangential speed and r the radius of the circular orbit.

For the car in this problem, a_c = 15.625 m/s^2 and r=40 m, so we can re-arrange the previous equation to find the velocity of the car:
v= \sqrt{a_c r}= \sqrt{(15.625 m/s^2)(40 m)}=25 m/s

Radio wave radiation falls in the wavelength region of 10.0 to 1000 meters. What is the energy of radio wave radiation that has
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength of radiation \lambda =784\ m

We know Energy of wave with wavelength \lambda is given by

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }

where h=Planck's constant

c=velocity of light

\lambda=wavelength of wave

E=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{784}

E=2.53\times 10^{-28}\ J

Hence the energy of the wave with wavelength 784 m is 2.53\times 10^{-28}\ J

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

<h2>A. Nearsightedness</h2>

Explanation:

A nearsightedness is an eye defect that occurs when someone is only able to see close ranged object but not far distance object. According to the question, if the length of my eye decreases slightly as I age, this means there is a possibility that I will find it difficult to view a far distance object as I age.

At 70, once my eyes had decreased slightly in length, this means I will only be able to see close ranged object but not far distant object, showing that I am now suffering from nearsightedness according to its definition above.
