Question
A car driving along a highway at a speed of 23 m-1 strays onto the shoulder. Evenly spaced parallel grooves called rumble strips are carved into the pavement of the shoulder. Rolling over the rumble strips causes the car's wheels to oscillate up and down at a frequency of 82 Hz. How far apart are the centers of adjacent rumble-strip grooves?

- The human eardrum responds to sound by vibrating. If the eardrum moves in simple harmonic motion at a frequency of 2.88 kHz and an amplitude of 0.132 nm, what is its maximum speed of vibration?arrow_forwardA fan is designed to last for a certain time before it will have to be replaced (planned obsolescence). The fan only has one speed (at a maximum of 675rpm), and it reaches the speed in 4.0 s (starting from rest). It takes the fan 8.0 s for the blade to stop once it is turned off. The manufacturer specifies that the fan will operate up to 1 billion rotations. Andre lives in a hot climate, works outside of the home from approximately 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, does not own an air conditioner, and can't sleep with the fan running.
