Four beats per second are heard when an unknown tuning fork and a 240 Hz

Four beats per second are heard when an unknown tuning fork and a 240 Hz tuning fork are struck simultaneously. This same unknown tuning fork and a 250 Hz tuning fork are struck. Six beats are heard. Its exact frequency?

The absolute difference between two frequencies is referred to as beat frequency. That is,
fb = |f2-f1|

In this case, the frequency of unknown fork must be between 240 Hz and 250 Hz. Then,

4 = x - 240 => x = 240+4 = 244 Hz
This is true since;
6 = 250 - 244 (given in the second case).

Therefore, the unknown frequency is 244 Hz.

Question
The retina, which consists of three layers of neurons (photoreceptor, bipolar, and ganglion) is responsible for detecting the light from these images and then causing impulses to be sent to the brain along the ____. A. ganglion cell B. optic nerve C. photoreceptors D. wavelengths
Solution 1

Answer;

Optic nerve

Explanation;

  • Optic nerve is a cable-like bundle of nerve fibers, that connects and transmits visual information from the eye to the brain.
  • Optic nerves are made of retinal ganglion cell axons. Optic nerve recieves light signals from photoreceptor cells via intermediate neurons, bipolar and amacrine cells.
  • The retina, which consists of three layers of neurons (photoreceptor, bipolar, and ganglion) is responsible for detecting the light from these images and then causing impulses to be sent to the brain along the optic nerve.
Solution 2
B. Optic nerve

Optic nerve: carries messages from the photoreceptors in the retina to the brain
Question
In which of the following units is acceleration expressed? a. Meters per second squared b. Foot-pounds c. Kilograms d. Newtons
Solution 1

Answer : The correct option is, (A) Meters per second squared

Explanation :

Acceleration : It is defined as the rate of change of velocity in unit time. It is a vector quantity. That means it is depend on the magnitude and the direction.

The S.I unit of of acceleration is, meter per second square (m/s^2)

From the given options, option A is represent the unit of acceleration.

The option B represent the unit of energy.

The option C represent the unit of mass.

The option D represent the unit of force.

Hence, the correct option is, (A)

Solution 2
A. Meter per second squared

This is the Right One.

Question
Clothes in a dryer acquire static cling by a. friction. b. conduction. c. induction. d. static discharge.
Solution 1
The answer is friction. The force acting upon the comparative motion of solid surfaces, liquid layers, and material elements sliding in contradiction of each other. When sides in contact move comparative to each other, the friction amid the two surfaces changes kinetic energy into thermal energy; in other words work to heat.
Solution 2

The answer is friction. The force acting upon the comparative motion of solid surfaces, liquid layers, and material elements sliding in contradiction of each other. When sides in contact move comparative to each other, the friction amid the two surfaces changes kinetic energy into thermal energy; in other words work to heat.

Explanation:

Friction. You will discern that natural fibers, wool, and cotton do not have static. All performed fibers comprise elements that when scraped together will have static electricity.would have believed that the stainless-steel drum and another metalwork of the dryer would remove the static charge to earth. Unless of course your machine is not earthed .

Question
A 72 kg sled Is pulled forward from rest by a snowmobile and accelerates at 2 m/s squared forward for five seconds. The force of friction acting on the sled is 120 N backwards. The total mass of the snowmobile and driver is 450 kg. The drag force acting on the snowmobile is 540 N backwards. What is the tension in the rope.
Solution 1
So first make a force diagram. I would label forward forces + and backward forces -. Essentially, the drag force is equal to the Ft (force of tension) + Ff (force of friction on snowmobile - driver system). The force of Friction is equal to mu * Fn. We can find mu through the force of friction acting on the sled. 120 N = mu * Fn (equal to m * g of sled). mu of the Ice is equal to 0.167. So, 540 N = Ft + 0.167 * 4500 N. Ft = -211.5 N. Ft is acting in the backwards direction at a magnitude of 211.5 N
