    Wave interferance and determining an unknown height

    Homework Statement Radio waves from a star, of wavelength 231 m, reach a radio telescope by two separate paths. One is a direct path to the receiver, which is situated on the edge of a cliff by the ocean. The second is by reflection off the water. The first minimum of destructive...

    Finding the possible frequencies of a tuning fork

    Homework Statement A 0.0120 kg, 2.05 m long wire is fixed at both ends and vibrates in its simplest mode under a tension of 202 N. When a tuning fork is placed near the wire, a beat frequency of 5.10 Hz is heard. What are the possible frequencies of the tuning fork? (enter the smaller...

    Elastic collision with no info on object 1

    Homework Statement Cart1, with mass m, is initially at rest and is struck by cart2, which has a mass of 337 kg and initial speed of 2.07 m/s. The collision is elastic and after the collision cart2 continues to move in its original direction at 0.900 m/s. Find m, the mass of cart1...

    How Fast Can Two Blocks Move Without Sliding Apart?

    Thank you. But what do you mean consider on the bottom block. Do you mean use only the weight of the bottom block?

    How Fast Can Two Blocks Move Without Sliding Apart?

    Homework Statement The coefficient of static friction is 0.636 between the two blocks shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the lower block and the floor is 0.138. Force F causes both blocks to cross a distance of 7.00 m, starting from rest. What is the least amount of time in...

    Question regarding homeostasis in Daphnia

    So its response to the change in the environment is that it moves closer to the food source because this is the ideal position for it to feed. Also is this a negative or positive feedback loop. I don't think that really applies here because the change is not regulated internally.

    Question regarding homeostasis in Daphnia

    I recently did a lab where i added a single grain of yeast to a water drop with a Daphnia. I was wondering how this experiment represents homeostasis. All i noticed was the Daphnia moved closer to the food source and pretty much burrowed inside of the granule.
