The G string on a guitar is 69 cm long and has a fundamental frequency of 196 Hz. A guitarist can play different notes by pushin

g the string against various frets, which changes the string's length. The third fret from the neck gives B♭ (233.08 Hz); the fourth fret gives B (246.94 Hz).
How far apart are the third and fourth frets?

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

 Δd = 23 cm

Explanation:

When the eta string on the guitar has nodes at its ends, so the waves produced give rise to a standing wave, which can be described by the following expressions

Fundamental      L = ½ λ

1st harmonic       L = 2 ( λ / 2)

2nd harmonic     L = 3 ( λ / 2)

Harmonic n         L = n  λ / 2

Where n is an integer

                     

The speed of the rope is given by the ratio

         v =  λ f

This speed is constant since it depends on the tension and the linear density of the rope

Let's calculate the speed with the initial data

           v = 0.69  196

           v = 135.24 m / s

Let's look for the wavelength for the two frequencies

           λ₁ = v / f₁

           λ₁ = 135.24 / 233.08

           λ₁ = 0.58022 m

           λ₂ = v / f₂

           λ₂ = 135.24 / 246.94

            λ₂ = 0.54766 m

Let's replace in the resonance equation

             Lₙ = n  λ/2

For the third fret

            m = 3

            L₃ = 3 0.58022 / 2

            L₃ = 0.87033 m

For the fourth fret

            m = 4

            L₄ = 4 0.54766 / 2

            L₄ = 1.09532 m

The distance between the two frets is

         Δd = L₄ –L₃

         Δd = 1.09532 - 0.87033

         Δd = 0.22499 m

         Δd = 22.5 cm = 23 cm

How could the combustibility of a substance influence how the substances used
aliina [53]

Answer:

Combustibility is a measure of how easily a substance bursts into flame, through fire or combustion. This is an important property to consider when a substance is used for construction or is being stored. It is also important in processes that produce combustible substances as a by-product.

aniked [119]

Answer: The released electromagnetic wave will travel in +y direction

Explanation:

It should be noted that, in a situation, whereby an excited hydrogen atom releases an electromagnetic wave to return to its normal state. And it's also evident that the futuristic dual electric/magnetic field tester on the electromagnetic wave to find the directions of the electric field and magnetic field is used. Eventually, your device tells you that the electric field is pointing in the positive y direction and the magnetic field is pointing in the positive x direction. Therefore, the released electromagnetic wave will travel in +y direction.

Over a period of more than 30 years, albert klein of california drove 2.5 × 106 km in one automobile. consider two charges, q1 =
Semenov [28]
For q3 to be in equilibrium the total force acting on it has to be zero.
Let's say that total distance traveled by car is L (this is just for the convenience).
We can set up a system of equations to find an answer. Let's say that from q1 to q3 the distance is r_1 and from q3 to q2 the distance is r_2, we know that this distance has to be equal to:
r_1+r_2=L km
The second equation is going to the total force acting on the charge q3:
F_{q3}=F_{q3q1}+F_{q3q2}=0\\ 0=k_c\frac{q_1q_3}{r_1^2}+k_c\frac{q_3q_2}{r^2}
k_c is the Coulomb's constant. Since left-hand side is zero we just divide whole equation with k_c to get rid of it:
0=\frac{q_1q_3}{r_1^2}+\frac{q_3q_2}{r^2}
Let's solve this for r_1^2:
0=\frac{8}{r_1^2}+\frac{24}{r^2}\\ \frac{1}{r_1^2}=-\frac{3}{r^2}\\ r_1^2=-\frac{r^2}{3};r_2=L-r_1\\ r_1^2=\frac{(L-r_1)^2}{3}\\ r_1^2=\frac{L^2-2Lr_1+r_1^2}{3}\\ 3r_1^2=L^2-2Lr_1+r_1^2\\ 2r_1^2+2Lr_1-L^2=0
Now we have a quadratic equation with following parameter:
a=2\\ b=2L\\ c=-L^2
We know that two solutions are:
r_{1,\:2}=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\ r_{1,\:2}=\frac{-2L\pm \sqrt{4L^2+8L^2}}{4}\\ r_{1,\:2}=\frac{-2L\pm \sqrt{12L^2}}{4}\\
We need a positive solution. When we plug in all the numbers we get:
r_1=0.915\cdot 10^6$km

I disagree.
Many substances show fluorescence under ULTRAVIOLET light, NOT microwaves. :)
