A 1.50-m string of weight 0.0125 N is tied to the ceil- ing at its upper end, and the lower end supports a weight W. Ignore the

very small variation in tension along the length of the string that is produced by the weight of the string. When you pluck the string slightly, the waves traveling up the string obey the equation. Assume that the tension of the string is constant and equal to W.
(a) How much time does it take a pulse to travel the full length of the string?
(b) What is the weight W?
(c) How many wavelengths are on the string at any instant of time?
(d) What is the equation for waves traveling ?down? the string?

The wave equation is missing and it is y(x,t) = (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x − 4830 rad/s t)

Answer:

A) 0.0534 seconds

B) 0.67N

C) 41

D) (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x + 4830 rad/s t)

Explanation:

we are given weight of string = 0.0125N

Thus, since weight = mg

Then, mass of string = 0.0125/9.8

Mass of string = 1.275 x 10⁻³ kg

Length of string; L= 1.5 m .

mass per unit length; μ = (1.275 x 10⁻³)/1.5

μ = 0.85 x 10⁻³ kg/m

We are given the wave equation: y(x,t) = (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x − 4830 rad/s t)

Now if we compare it to the general equation of motion of standing wave on a string which is:

y(x,t) = Acos(Kx − ω t)

We can deduce that

angular velocity;ω = 4830 rad/s

Wave number;k = 172 rad/m

A) Velocity is given by the formula;

V = ω/k

Thus, V = 4830/172 m/s

V = 28.08 m /s

Thus time taken to go up the string = 1.5/28.08 = 0.0534 seconds

B) We know that in strings,

V² = F/μ

Where μ is mass per unit length and V is velocity.

Thus, F = V²*μ =28.08² x 0.85 x 10⁻³

F = 0.67N

C) Formula for wave length is given as; wave length;λ = 2π /k

λ = 2 x π/ 172

λ = 0.0365 m

Thus, number of wave lengths over whole length of string

= 1.5/0.0365 = 41

D) The equation for waves traveling down the string

= (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x + 4830 rad/s t)

At time t=0t=0 a proton is a distance of 0.360 mm from a very large insulating sheet of charge and is moving parallel to the she

insens350 [35]

Answer:

$1.34 * 10^{3}$ m/s

Explanation:

Parameters given:

distance of the proton form the insulating sheet = 0.360mm

speed of the proton, $v_{x}$ = 990m/s

Surface charge density, σ = 2.34 x $10^{-9}$ C/ $m^{2}$

We need to calculate the speed at time, t = 7.0 * $10^{-8}$ s.

We know that the proton is moving parallel to the sheet, hence, we can say it is moving in the x direction, with a speed $v_{x}$ on the axis.

The electric force acting on the proton moves in the y direction, so this means it is moving with velocity $v_{y}$ in the y axis.

Hence, the resultant velocity of the proton is given by:

$v = \sqrt{v_{x} ^{2} + v_{y} ^{2}}$

$v_{x}$ = 990m/s from the question. We need to find $v_{y}$ and then the resultant velocity v.

Electric field is given in terms of surface charge density, σ as:

E = σ/ε0

where ε0 = permittivity of free space

=> $E = \frac{2.34 * 10^{-9} } {2 * 8.85418782 * 10^{-12} }$

E = 132 N/C

Electric Force, F is given in terms of Electric field:

F = eE

where e = electronic charge

=> F = ma = eE

∴ a = eE/m

where

a = acceleration of the proton

m = mass of proton

$a = \frac{1.60 * 10^{-19} * 132}{1.672 * 10^{-27} }$

a = 1.3 * $10^{10}$ m/ $s^{2}$

Therefore, at time, t = 7.0 * $10^{-8}$ , we can use one of the equations of linear motion to find the velocity in the y axis:

$a = \frac{v_{y} - v_{0}}{t} \\\\=> v_{y} = v_{0} + at$

$v_{y}$ = 0 + (1.3 * $10^{10}$ * 7.0 * $10^{-8}$ )

$v_{y}$ = 910 m/s

∴ $v = \sqrt{v_{x} ^{2} + v_{y} ^{2}}$

$v = \sqrt{990^{2} + 910^{2} }$

$v = \sqrt{1808200}$

v = 1344.69 m/s = $1.34 * 10^{3}$ m/s

PLS HELP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO FIRST ANSWER

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:Earth is a truly unique in its abundance of water. Water is necessary to sustaining life on Earth, and helps tie together the Earth's lands, oceans, and atmosphere into an integrated system. Precipitation, evaporation, freezing and melting and condensation are all part of the hydrological cycle - a never-ending global process of water circulation from clouds to land, to the ocean, and back to the clouds. This cycling of water is intimately linked with energy exchanges among the atmosphere, ocean, and land that determine the Earth's climate and cause much of natural climate variability. The impacts of climate change and variability on the quality of human life occur primarily through changes in the water cycle. As stated in the National Research Council's report on Research Pathways for the Next Decade (NRC, 1999): "Water is at the heart of both the causes and effects of climate change."

If a ball is dropped from rest and falls 8 m to the ground, what is the speed just before it

Natalija [7]

Answer:

12.5m/s

Explanation:

(Assuming the question was asking for the speed just before it hit the ground)

We can use the first key equation of accelerated motion

Vf^2 = Vi^2+2aΔd

Vf^2 = 0 + 2(9.8)(8) (plugged in values, initial velocity is 0 since the ball was at rest)

Vf^2 = 156.8

Vf = 12.5 (squared both sides)
