MCQ
A tuning fork of known frequency $256\,Hz$ makes $5$ beats per second with the vibrating string of a guitar. The beat frequency decreases to $2$ beats per second when the tension in the guitar string slightly increased. The frequency of the guitar string before increasing the tension was ..... $Hz$
  • A
    $257$
  • B
    $261$
  • C
    $254$
  • $251$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$251$
d
On increasing tension frequency of wire increases

So,

So beat frequency is decreases in case of $251$ $\mathrm{\,Hz}$

An isolated rail car of mass $M$ is moving along a straight, frictionless track at an initial speed $v_0$. The car is passing under a bridge when $a$ crate filled with $N$ bowling balls, each of mass $m$, is dropped from the bridge into the bed of the rail car. The crate splits open and the bowling balls bounce around inside the rail car, but none of them fall out. Is the momentum of the rail car $+$ bowling balls system conserved in this collision?
