''what is the energy transformation of the the guitar?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The energy transformation of a guitar involves converting mechanical energy (from strumming the strings) into sound energy. As the strings vibrate, they transmit energy through the guitar body, which amplifies and projects the sound waves. Electrical energy may also be transformed if the guitar is equipped with pickups, converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that can be amplified and heard through speakers.

A bob of mass 200 grams is tied to a string of length 1.25m at one end it revolves as conical pendulum with tie period of 2 sec tension in string is?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The tension in the string can be calculated using the formula T = (mv^2)/r + mg, where m is the mass of the bob, v is the velocity of the bob, r is the radius of the circular motion, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. In this case, the radius can be calculated as r = 1.25m*sin(θ), where θ is the angle between the string and the vertical axis. Given the period T as 2 sec, we can find the velocity v = (2π*r)/T. Using the given mass of 200 grams, acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2, we can determine the tension in the string.

What degrees are required to become a teacher?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To teach within the public school system in the United States at the pre-K through high school levels, you must have a minimum of a bachelor's degree in a teacher education program from a regionally accredited college or university and state teacher certification. This would take approximately four years to complete as a full-time student, provided you take the program as prescribed by the college or university. Individuals who already have at least a bachelor's degree but not in an education program, can obtain certification to teach specific courses through the Alternative Route Program within the state they wish to teach.

What makes something old considered vintage?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In purist term, most items need to be 100 years old or older to be considered true "antiques". Most countries Customs Agencies hold to the 100 Year definition. However, in recent times the 100 years timetable has become subjective, and can account for less time. It's safe to say a table from 1880 is a true antique, whereas a table from 1942 would be "vintage".

What instruments do you need in a band?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

instruments in a bandThat really depends on what kind of band you want to start.

Jazz combos usually are built around a bass\piano\drum base but can add anything from guitar to brass to more exotic instrumentation like harps and woodwinds. Orchestra bands can range in size from trios and quartets to dozens of instrumentalists of all different types.

Rock bands can get by with three basic instruments: lead guitar, bass and drums. Usually, a four-piece band will add a rhythm guitar as well, and a five-piece might add a keyboard or a second lead guitar. There are a lot of different configurations for bands, though, so it really depends on the sound you're going for.

Also...a sax player would be nice in a rock band. Bluegrass needs at least one banjo player, and country needs a fiddler.

Are the fingerings on a bass guitar the same as on the cello?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The notes are all relatively in the same places, but the electric bass is on a much smaller scale and has frets, making fingerings generally easier. Also, bass guitar uses all four fingers independently (e.g. index on F, middle on Gb, ring on G, and pinky on Ab), while, because of the bigger scale, double bass only uses three fingers independently (e.g. index on F, middle on Gb, and pinky on G supported by ring finger)

Why does your guitar amp hum when you plug in guitar?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It could be a number of things, but fluorescent lighting in or near the room will cause what's called a "60Hz hum." If this is the case you could try to reverse the polarity on the 'Mains Plug'. i.e the AC mains leading to the step down transformer. Alternatively confirm the same by switching off circuits (Tubelights, television etc) one at a time, to see if this hum stops. Particularly if the hum stops when you switch of the television - have the TV repaired fopr faulty filter capacitor. If the hum is caused by earthing or neighbouring tubelights check the shield of the amplifier.The shield is supposed to be grounded to effectively eliminate the electric fields surrounding the same. If it's more like a buzzing sound, there may be a loose connection in either jack (the guitar's or the amp's) or the patch cable itself; there might be a poor solder somewhere; or you might just be picking up interference from a nearby electronic device. If it's really noticeable, you might consider taking the amplifier to a local repair shop and having them take a look at it. It could also be a poor ground, which will require re-wiring of the outlet or possibly the entire electrical system in that area of the building. Try plugging the amp into different outlets and see if the hum subsides; if it doesn't, it's likely an issue with the amp or the guitar themselves.

What is the difference between four and five string bass guitars?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Bass Guitars A four string bass has an open string arrangement consisting of E, A , D , and G (from thickest to thinnest). This is the standard bass arrangement. The five string bass also has the E, A, D, and G arrangement, but adds an extra low B string above the E. This allows for a broader reach in note pitch since you are allowed for extra notes with the B string. For instance, on a standard four string bass you would have to tune down the E string two frets to get the dropped D pitch. But with a five string bass, there is no need to tune your E string since the D can be played on the third fret of the newly added fifth string (the B string). This lower B is especially popular with the modern hard rock/thrash metal crowd, and some of the screamo bands. For many players, there is a struggle with the low-b being "sloppy", which can largely be corrected by using a longer scale neck (35" at a minimum) and/or a different brand or gauge of strings Standard four string bass: E A D G Five string bass: B E A D G Six string bass: B E A D G C NB: you can also, if you wish, instead of using the extra string for a low B, you can retune the first four strings into standard tuning, I.e, E-A-D-G, and have the highest string as a high C. This arrangement is used quite frequently by bassists who prefer tighter strings, and an extra range up high, as well as getting a deeper, more bass-y sound from the thicker E string.

How is a bass guitar made?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

this is a debatable question. because firstly, the bass guitar is just utilizing the E A D and G strings of a regular guitar except for the fact that they are tuned an octave lower so the question isn't really who invented the "bass" but really who pioneered the idea. in a different universe entirely theres the upright bass which is not only fretless but like its name states it stands upright and the upright bass has been used for many years. research it in musical history books and decide for yourself. hope this helps - Kyse

Who invented the guitar and in what year was it?

The guitar's roots are in Spain. It was the spaniard Antonio Torres invented it. Did you know the instrument is over 5000 years old. It is thought to have been invented by the people of Malaga.
