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

ry 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: y(x,t) = (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x − 4830 rad/s t)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 fulllength 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?

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of string = .0125 / 9.8

= 1.275 x 10⁻³ kg

Length of string l = 1.5 m .

m = mass per unit length

= ( .1.275 / 1.5) x 10⁻³ kg/m

m = .85 x 10⁻³ kg/m

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

compare with equation of wave

y(x,t) = Acos(K x − ω t)

ω ( angular velocity ) = 4830 rad/s

k = 172 rad/m

Velocity = ω / k

= 4830/172 m /s

= 28.08 m /s

velocity of wave = \sqrt{\frac{W}{m } }

28.08 = \sqrt{\frac{W}{.85\times10^{-3} } }

788.48 =  W / .85 X 10⁻³

W = 670 x  10⁻³ N .

c ) wave length

wave length =2π  / k

= 2 x 3.14 / 172

= .0365 m

no of wave lengths over whole length of string

= 1.5 / .0365

= 41

d )

equation for waves traveling down the string

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

A bulb converts 9J of energy in each second from an input of 100J of energy. Calculate efficiency of this light bulb
77julia77 [94]
Efficiency is calculated through dividing the actual mechanical advantage by the hypothetical mechanical advantage:

- the actual mechanical advantage is 9J because that's how much work the light bulb doing

- the hypo. mechanical advantage is 100J. Ideally, in a perfect world, the light bulb can convert 100J input into 100J output, but do to resistance and other factors it is not possible.

\frac{9}{100}  = .09
change the decimal to a percentage:

.09 = 9\%
the light bulb had 9% efficiency

After a nucleus undergoes radioactive decay, its new mass number is:
Ivanshal [37]
Radioactive "decay" means particles and stuff shoot OUT of a nucleus.
After that happens, there's less stuff in the nucleus than there was before.
So the new mass number is always less than the original mass number.

When light is incident parallel to the principal axis and then strikes a lens, the light will refract through the focal point on the opposite side of the lens.

To find the answer, we have to know about the rules followed by drawing ray-diagram.

<h3>What are the rules obeyed by light rays?</h3>
  • If the incident ray is parallel to the principal axis, the refracted ray will pass through the opposite side's focus.
  • The refracted ray becomes parallel to the major axis if the incident ray passes through the focus.
  • The refracted ray follows the same path if the incident light passes through the center of the curve.

Thus, we can conclude that, when light is incident parallel to the principal axis and then strikes a lens, the light will refract through the focal point on the opposite side of the lens.

Bumek [7]

Answer:

By pushing the pendulum Bob up so it moves faster

Explanation:

In pendulum physics the length of the pendulum Bob determines the speed of the clock. So since the grandfather's clock is slow it means the Bob is has moved down so to move it up you have to achieve this by adjusting the but upwards thereby making the clock move faster.

A rigid tank contains 7 kg of an ideal gas at 5 atm and 30c. a valve is opened, and half of mass of the gas can escape. the fin
Readme [11.4K]
The equation of state for an ideal gas is
pV=nRT
where p is the gas pressure, V the volume, n the number of moles, R the gas constant and T the temperature.

The equation of state for the initial condition of the gas is
p_1 V_1 = n_1 R T_1 (1)
While the same equation for the final condition is
p_2 V_2 = n_2 R T_2 (2)

We know that in the final condition, half of the mass of the gas is escaped. This means that the final volume of the gas is half of the initial volume, and also that the final number of moles is half the initial number of moles, so we can write:
V_1 = 2 V_1
n_1 = 2 n_2
If we substitute these relationship inside (1), and we divide (1) by (2), we get
\frac{p_1}{p_2} = \frac{T_1}{T_2}

And since the initial temperature of the gas is T_1 = 30 C=303 K, we can find the final temperature of the gas:
T_2 = T_1  \frac{p_2}{p_1}=(303 K) \frac{1.5 atm}{5.0 atm}=90.9 K
