Answer:

A) 3.11 Hrs

Explanation:

Wave speed is given by the formula

Speed = \frac{wavelength}{Time\: period}

now we will have

speed = \frac{40}{0.80}

v = 50 m/s

now the time taken by the wave to move the distance 560 km is given as

t = \frac{distance}{speed}

t = \frac{560\times 10^3}{50}

t = 11200 s

t = 3.11 hours

Paladinen [302]

Weight of the mass is the tension in the string if the turntable is held fixed, with the mass hanging from the pulley

Weight is a force that acts at all times on all objects near Earth. The Earth pulls on all objects with a force of gravity downward toward the center of the Earth. Weight (symbolized w ) is a quantity representing the force exerted on a particle or object by an acceleration field, particularly the gravitational field of the Earth at the surface.

The tension force is defined as the force that is transmitted through a rope, string or wire when pulled by forces acting from opposite sides. The tension force is directed over the length of the wire and pulls energy equally on the bodies at the ends.

The direction of tension is the pull which is given the name tension. Thus, the tension will point away from the mass in the direction of the string/rope. In case of the hanging mass, the string pulls it upwards, so the string/rope exerts an upper force on the mass and the tension will be in the upper side.

Tension will act opposite the the weight of the mass attached in order to maintain equilibrium .

Calculate the force of gravity on the 1.2-kg mass if it were 1.9×107 m above earth's surface (that is, if it were four earth rad
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Force of gravity, F = 0.74 N

Mass of an object, m = 1.2 kg

Distance above earth's surface, d=1.9\times 10^7\ m

Mass of Earth, M=5.97\times 10^{24}\ kg

Radius of Earth, r=6.37\times 10^6\ m

We need to find the force of gravity above the surface of Earth. It is given by :

F=G\dfrac{mM}{R^2}

R = r + d

R = 25370000 m

F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{5.97\times 10^{24}\ kg\times 1.2\ kg}{(25370000\ m)^2}

F = 0.74 N

So, the force of gravity on the object is 0.74 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Based on the graph, describe how momentum changes with time for an object in free fall. If you can help, I would be so grateful.

With time, momentum increases as it builds speed assuming their is nothing in the way to stop it. Based on the graph, you can see that example being displayed as the line on the graph gets higher

Ira Lisetskai [31]
A reasonable hypothesis would be that, nothing changes with can A (no expansion at all), and Can C is expanding, but Can B is expanding even faster than Can C. (I don't know, if this hypothesis is correct though)
