(a) Greater
The frequency of the nth-harmonic on a string is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency, :
So we have:
- On wire A, the second-harmonic has frequency of , so the fundamental frequency is:
- On wire B, the third-harmonic has frequency of , so the fundamental frequency is
So, the fundamental frequency of wire A is greater than the fundamental frequency of wire B.
(b)
For standing waves on a string, the fundamental frequency is given by the formula:
where
v is the speed at which the waves travel back and forth on the wire
L is the length of the string
(c) Greater speed on wire A
We can solve the formula of the fundamental frequency for v, the speed of the wave:
We know that the two wires have same length L. For wire A, , while for wave B,
, so we can write the ratio between the speeds of the waves in the two wires:
So, the waves travel faster on wire A.
Answer:
R = 0.0503 m
Explanation:
This is a projectile launching exercise, to find the range we can use the equation
R = v₀² sin 2θ / g
How we know the maximum height
² =
² - 2 g y
= 0
= √ 2 g y
= √ 2 9.8 / 15
= 1.14 m / s
Let's use trigonometry to find the speed
sin θ = / vo
vo = / sin θ
vo = 1.14 / sin 60
vo = 1.32 m / s
We calculate the range with the first equation
R = 1.32² sin(2 60) / 30
R = 0.0503 m
