June 2010: Physics

<p>@Hotinpersuit
No way the question underneath beats in quality, its either resonance or pitch, I think he meant that the bottom question was quality.</p>

<p>I put beats, either quality or resonance (don’t remember), pitch. Could someone also explain the one with the car and static shock please.</p>

<p>ya I alredy told you I got them mixed up. I don’t know the right order but resonanace is not one of the three answers</p>

<p>This is what I got for the matching section on sound:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Caused by 2 waves with slightly diff. frequencies–>**Beats<a href=“Not%20too%20much%20explanation%20needed,%20I%20think”>/b</a></p></li>
<li><p>Determined by fundamental frequency–>**Resonance<a href=“People%20have%20posted%20that%20it’s%20pitch,%20but%20I%20disagree.%20Pitch%20is%20determined%20by%20a%20set%20wavelength.%20%20The%20fundamental%20frequency%20(f%20%22sub%20not%22%20or%20whatever%20the%20term%20is”>/b</a> is used to determine the wavelength of harmonics. For violin players, fundamental frequency would be like the A string, 2 times this would be the 1st harmonic one octave above, etc. The harmonics are caused by resonance. This used to be on AP Physics B FRQs quite a bit; that’s where I learned this, since my teacher spent about 2 weeks on this)</p></li>

<p>I love being a musician.</p>

<p>Now that I think about it, I remember that I put beats, resosnance, and quality. I too am a musician and agree with 314159265.</p>

<p>For the energy efficiency problem they used K instead of J like they do in my book. Would you still do the problem the same way?
Also I agree with Willgo about the x and y magnets. To be honest I would be a little angry if it was just implied that the other ends don’t attract.
Also for, beta particle emission question: nuclear mass stays the same, what was the question and can someone explain this?
students record distance travelled: 10.77 is average velocity / 13.4 m in fifth second (*split). I thought it was pretty clear it was 13.4 v in 5th second because the distance traveled was 13.4 and the time was 1 sec so…
Q = cv = 20x10^6, what was this question? Sorry i don’t have a photographic memory like you people :stuck_out_tongue:
Sorry for all the questions</p>

<p>Here’s my reasoning for the uncharged metal ball with the negative rod:</p>

<p>Look. You have a negative rod approaching something with both positive and negative charges. Like a hollow metal sphere, the positive charges will be attracted to X and the negative charges will go away from X (probably to Y). So, I thought that X is positive and Y is negative. For some reason, I think CB likes to sometimes assume that electric potential is always positive (regardless of charge) and sometimes that electric potential can be negative (which can be annoying; PM me if you want me to give you a really in-depth rant about this). Because X and Y are differently charged, choices C and D are wrong, and I think the charges in choices A and B were opposite. E is the only one left and makes sense because the magnitude of the charges on X and Y are equal (so I guess you could say that the electric potential is the same).</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I disagree. Remember that average velocity is distance traveled over time. The data table explicitly showed that in the third second (t=2 to t=3) that the car traveled 10.77 meters. delta x/delta time is the average velocity, which in this case is 10.77/1 which equals 10.77</p>

<p>Yes 314159265, I had the same reasoning as you did and put E. I remember I saw a similar question on a practice test and it said that the charges move in opposite directions. Also, what did you guys put for the question with the ruler that was nailed on one end and if someone hits the other end, what type of motion would it be? I put harmonic motion.</p>

<p>Intensity and monochromatic blue light was the straight line without a slope. Intensity does not affect the energy of the photons.</p>

<p>a) A person throws an objects in the air, which graphs represents velocity v.s. time</p>

<p>answ: the graph with the positive y-intercept that slopes down</p>

<p>b) Which of the following stays constant for (object)?</p>

<p>answ: acceleration</p>

<p>c) What is not true regarding the beta particle?</p>

<p>answ: Minimum potential energy</p>

<p>For the question with the sloped mirror, the answer was the one that looked the least like the other ones (object height becomes its length and its length becomes its height). You can verify this by turning the page so that the mirror will become vertical and doing the normal procedure</p>

<p>314159265: Was it 10.77 velocity in the the 3rd second or average velocity for the whole time?</p>

<p>Velocity in 3rd second.</p>

<p>Ok then I put the same as you, I just forgot the numbers. What was the other answer people put then 13.4 what in the fifth second?
Also for the object in equilibrium I put I only because it doesn’t have to have 2 in the same direction. If this person’s math is correct here is an example where that isn’t true.

<p>Could someone please explain the question with person in the car and the static shock. Wouldn’t the engine running have some affect on the shock, at least more so than the humidity of the air? What am I missing here?</p>

<p>I just did some googling, apparently increasing humidity decreases static electricity. Can anybody explain why?</p>

<p>ya I put I only two for the same reason</p>

<p>Humidity certainly affects static electricity. Case in point - you shock yourself more on a cold, dry day. My physics teacher explained this, but I can’t remember why.</p>

<p>Damn it…</p>

<p>I did put resonance/quality as well. I know resonance is right. quality was explained by 314123423.
Also I concede that 10.77 m/s was the average velocity and the blue light creates a horizontal line. </p>
