Explanation:

It is given that,

length of steel wire, l = 0.75 m

Mass of the wire, m = 12 g = 0.012 kg

Fundamental frequency, f = 120 Hz

We need to find the mass of the anvil (m'). The fundamental frequency is given by :

f=\dfrac{v}{2l}

v is the speed of the mass

Speed is given by :

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}

\mu is the mass per unit length,\mu=\dfrac{m}{l}

f=\dfrac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}

T is the tension in the wire,

f=\dfrac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\dfrac{Tl}{m}}

T=4f^2lm

T=4(120)^2\times 0.75\times 0.012

T = 518.4 N

Tension in the wire, T = m' g

m'=\dfrac{T}{g}

m'=\dfrac{518.4}{9.8}

m' = 52.89 kg

So, the mass of the anvil is 52.89 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose the electric field in problems 2 was caused by a point charge. The test charge is moved to a distance twice as far from
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

it is reduced four times.

Explanation:

By definition, the electric field is the force per unit charge created by a charge distribution.

If the charge creating the field is a point charge, the force exerted by it on a test charge, must obey Coulomb´s Law, so, it must be inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges.

So, if the distance increases twice, as the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, and the square of 2 is 4, this means that the magnitude of the force exerted on the test charge must be 4 times smaller.

As an interstellar cloud of hydrogen gas shrinks in size, its rate of rotation
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

INCREASES, BECAUSE ITS ANGULAR MOMENTUM IS CONSERVED.

Explanation: Interstellar cloud of Hydrogen is an accumulation of Hydrogen gas in the cloud.

As the Interstellar cloud of Hydrogen shrinks (reduces) in size,the rate of rotation of the shrinked Interstellar cloud Increases because its angular momentum is conserved. GASEOUS MOLECULES MAKE UP ABOUT 99% OF THE INTERSTELLAR CLOUD WITH HYDROGEN HAVING ABOUT 90% OF THE VOLUME OF GASES IN THE INTERSTELLAR CLOUD.

Describe the importance of SI units?​
anyanavicka [17]
SI unit is an international system of measurements that are used universally in technical and scientific research to avoid the confusion with the units. Having a standard unit system is important because it helps the entire world to understand the measurements in one set of unit system.

What happens to the water particles in a wave?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer: waves transport energy, not water. As a wave crest passes, the water particles move in circular paths. The movement of the floating inner tube is simulacra to the movement of the water particles. Water particles rise as a wave crest approaches.

Two planets A and B, where B has twice the mass of A, orbit the Sun in elliptical orbits. The semi-major axis of the elliptical
lozanna [386]

Answer:

2.83

Explanation:

Kepler's discovered that the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit, that is called Kepler's third law of planet motion and can be expressed as:

T=\frac{2\pi a^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}} (1)

with T the orbital period, M the mass of the sun, G the Cavendish constant and a the semi major axis of the elliptical orbit of the planet. By (1) we can see that orbital period is independent of the mass of the planet and depends of the semi major axis, rearranging (1):

\frac{T}{a^{\frac{3}{2}}}=\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{GM}}

\frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}}=(\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{GM}})^2 (2)

Because in the right side of the equation (2) we have only constant quantities, that implies the ratio \frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}} is constant for all the planets orbiting the same sun, so we can said that:

\frac{T_{A}^{2}}{a_{A}^{3}}=\frac{T_{B}^{2}}{a_{B}^{3}}

\frac{T_{B}^{2}}{T_{A}^{2}}=\frac{a_{B}^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}

\frac{T_{B}}{T_{A}}=\sqrt{\frac{a_{B}^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}}=\sqrt{\frac{(2a_{A})^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}}

\frac{T_{B}}{T_{A}}=\sqrt{\frac{2^3}{1}}=2.83
