Materials show varying behaviors based on their Poisson's ratio. High Poisson's ratio materials (near 0.5) contract significantly sideways when stretched and expand when compressed, seen in substances like rubber. Low Poisson's ratio materials (near 0) undergo minimal width change during axial deformation, typical of metals and common engineering materials.
1. How many beats can be heard by sounding together two tuning forks of frequencies 250Hz and 256Hz?
Number of beats (n) =f2- f1
= 256 - 250
= 6 beats /sec
BODMAS=Bracket, Order, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction. In certain regions, PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction) is the synonym of BODMAS. It explains the order of operations to solve an expression.
Time taken (t) = 3 sec
Velocity of sound (v) = 332 m/s
Distance travelled (d) = ?
We know,
d = v x t = 332 x 3 = 996 m
Hence, the source of thunder is about 996 m far from the boy.
The Rh factor(the Rhesus factor or Rh antigen), is a protein that can be found on the surface of red blood cells. It is one of the most important blood group systems in human blood typing. The presence or absence of the Rh factor is denoted as either Rh-positive (+) or Rh-negative (-).
Fun fact: The Rh factor is named after the Rhesus monkey, in which the protein was first discovered.
