What is power, and what is its relationship to voltage and amperage?

kvasek [131]

The relationship between amperage, voltage, and power is that power equals the amperage quantity times the amount of voltage.

Power: is the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time.

A 2-m long string is stretched between two supports with a tension that produces a wave speed equal to vw=50.00m/s. What are the

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer

given,

Length of the string, L = 2 m

speed of the wave , v = 50 m/s

string is stretched between two string

For the waves the nodes must be between the strings

the wavelength is given by

$\lambda = \dfrac{2L}{n}$

where n is the number of antinodes; n = 1,2,3,...

the frequency expression is given by

$f = n\dfrac{v}{2L}$

now, wavelength calculation

n = 1

$\lambda_1 = \dfrac{2\times 2}{1}$

λ₁ = 4 m

n = 2

$\lambda_2 = \dfrac{2\times 2}{2}$

λ₂ = 2 m

n =3

$\lambda_3 = \dfrac{2\times 2}{3}$

λ₃ = 1.333 m

now, frequency calculation

n = 1

$f = n\dfrac{v}{2L}$

$f_1 =1\times \dfrac{50}{2\times 2}$

f₁ = 12.5 Hz

n = 2

$f = n\dfrac{v}{2L}$

$f_2 =2\times \dfrac{50}{2\times 2}$

f₂= 25 Hz

n = 3

$f = n\dfrac{v}{2L}$

$f_3 =3\times \dfrac{50}{2\times 2}$

f₃ = 37.5 Hz

A student, who weighs 720N, is standing on a bathroom scale and riding an elevator that is moving downwards with a speed that is

jasenka [17]

Answer:

1) The mass of the student is approximately 73.39 kg

2) The net force on the student is approximately 947.523 N

3) The value the scale will read is approximately 96.59 kg

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The weight of the student = 720 N

The speed at which the elevator is decreasing = 3.1 m/s²

1) The weight of the student = The mass of the student × The acceleration due to gravity

The acceleration due to gravity is a constant = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting the known values gives;

720 N = The mass of the student × 9.81 m/s²

∴ The mass of the student = 720 N/(9.81 m/s²) ≈ 73.39 kg

2) The forces acting on the student are;

i) The force of gravity which is the weight of the student acting downwards

ii) The inertia force of the slowing elevator acting downwards in the same direction as the weight of the student

The net force, $F_{net}$ = The weight of the student + The inertia force of the slowing elevator

∴ The net force, $F_{net}$ = 720 N + 73.39 kg × 3.1 m/s² ≈ 947.523 N

3) The scale will read the mass of the student as follows;

Mass reading of student on the scale = Force on scale/9.81

∴ Mass reading of student on the scale = 947.523/9.81 ≈ 96.59 kg

The value the scale will read = 96.59 kg.
