    en.wikipedia.org/.../Orders_of_magnitude_(frequency)

    Acoustic – frequency of G −7, the lowest note sung by the singer with the deepest voice in the world, Tim Storms. His vocal cords vibrate 1 time every 5.29 seconds. 10 0: 1 hertz (Hz) 1 to 1.66 Hz: Approximate frequency of an adult human's resting heart beat: 1 Hz: 60 bpm, common tempo in music 2 Hz: 120 bpm, common tempo in music ~7.83 Hz

  3. Mechanical resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_resonance

    Mechanical resonance is the tendency of a mechanical system to respond at greater amplitude when the frequency of its oscillations matches the system's natural frequency of vibration (its resonance frequency or resonant frequency) closer than it does other frequencies. It may cause violent swaying motions and potentially catastrophic failure in ...

  4. Natural frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_frequency

    In a mass–spring system, with mass m and spring stiffness k, the natural angular frequency can be calculated as: = In an electrical network , ω is a natural angular frequency of a response function f ( t ) if the Laplace transform F ( s ) of f ( t ) includes the term Ke − st , where s = σ + ω i for a real σ , and K ≠ 0 is a constant ...

  5. Resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonance

    Resonance is a phenomenon that occurs when an object or system is subjected to an external force or vibration that matches its natural frequency. When this happens, the object or system absorbs energy from the external force and starts vibrating with a larger amplitude. Resonance can occur in various systems, such as mechanical, electrical, or ...

  6. Gamma-ray burst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma-ray_burst

    The true nature of these objects was thus initially unknown, but the leading hypothesis was that they originated from the mergers of binary neutron stars or a neutron star with a black hole. Such mergers were hypothesized to produce kilonovae, [72] and evidence for a kilonova associated with short GRB 130603B was reported in 2013.

  7. Structural dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_dynamics

    This action can be in the form of load due to the weight of things such as people, furniture, wind, snow, etc. or some other kind of excitation such as an earthquake, shaking of the ground due to a blast nearby, etc. In essence all these loads are dynamic, including the self-weight of the structure because at some point in time these loads were ...

  8. Gravitational redshift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_redshift

    In astronomical objects with strong gravitational fields the redshift can be much greater; for example, light from the surface of a white dwarf is gravitationally redshifted on average by around (50 km/s)/c (around 170 ppm). [12] Observing the gravitational redshift in the Solar System is one of the classical tests of general relativity. [13]

  9. Neutron star - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_star

    The source of the gas is the companion star, the outer layers of which can be stripped off by the gravitational force of the neutron star if the two stars are sufficiently close. As the neutron star accretes this gas, its mass can increase; if enough mass is accreted, the neutron star may collapse into a black hole. [79]
