- Review. A tuning fork vibrating at 512 Hz falls from rest and accelerates at 9.80 m/s2. How far below the point of release is the tuning fork when waves of frequency 485 Hz reach the release point?arrow_forwardA wave on a string is driven by a string vibrator, which oscillates at a frequency of 100.00 Hz and an amplitude of 1.00 cm. The string vibrator operates at a voltage of 12.00 V and a current of 0.20 A. The power consumed by the string vibrator is P=IV . Assume that the string vibrator is 90% efficient at converting electrical energy into the energy associated with the vibrations of the string. The string is 3.00 m long, and is under a tension of 60.00 N. What is the linear mass density of the string?arrow_forward5. The speed of transverse wave propagation on a tense string is 20 m/s when the tension is 100 N. The string is extended three times before. In order for the speed of propagation to be 30 m/s, then determine the magnitude of the voltage! Please solve max in 30 minutes thank uarrow_forward

- Before all music was available online, but after LPs and 8track, CDs were the common format for recorded music. Give a rationale for the industry standard of recording pieces at 44.1 kHz. What are the benefits and the limitations of this choice?arrow_forwardA long string is connected to the wall with the other hand held by the instructor. The instructor connects the free end to a frequency generator which moves the free end up and down. This produces a wave on the string with regions moving up and down and other regions not moving. What is the name of this feature? The instructor sets the frequency to 20 hz initially. The string vibrates with a large amplitude only in the middle of the string. How many nodes are there? How many antinodes? The instructor changes the frequency so the large amplitude is in three places along the string. How many nodes are there now? How many antinodes? What is the frequency with three places in the string oscilating?arrow_forwardA bat flying at 10.0 m/s is chasing an insect flying in the same direction. The bat emits a 40.0 kHz chirp and receives back an echo at 40.2 kHz. How can you tell that the bat will catch the insect without performing any calculations?arrow_forward

Use v = 344m / s. b) Would you expect the ear to be especially sensitive to frequencies near 7000 Hz?At 10,500 Hz? Why?arrow_forwardParty hearing. As the number of people at a party increases, you must raise your voice for a listener to hear you against the background noise of the other partygoers. However, once you reach the level of yelling, the only way you can be heard is if you move closer to your listener, into the listener's "personal space." Model the situation by replacing you with an isotropic point source of fixed power Pand replacing your listener with a point that absorbs part of your sound waves. These points are initially separated by r = 1.10 m. If the background noise increases by Aß = 4.50 dB, the sound level at your listener must also increase. What separation rț is then required?
