Velocity = 9.8 x 10
velocity is 98 meters/second
Velocity is speed

Objects in free fall, disregarding terminal velocity, accelerate at 9.8(m/s)/s. so for every second it was falling, it gained 9.8m/s in speed. 9.8 * 10 = 98m/s

One of the harmonics on a string 1.30m long has a frequency of 15.60 Hz. The next higher harmonic has a frequency of 23.40 Hz. F

Alja [10]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{(a) 7.800 Hz; (b) 20.3 m/s; 40.6 m/s; 60.8 m/s}}$

Explanation:

a) Fundamental frequency

A harmonic is an integral multiple of the fundamental frequency.

$\dfrac{\text{23.40 Hz}}{\text{15.60 Hz}} = \dfrac{1.500}{1} \approx \dfrac{3}{2}$

$f = \dfrac{\text{24.30 Hz}}{3} = \textbf{7.800 Hz}$

b) Wave speed

(i) Calculate the wavelength

In a fundamental vibration, the length of the string is half the wavelength.

$\begin{array}{rcl}L & = & \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\\text{1.30 m} & = & \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\\lambda & = & \text{2.60 m}\\\end{array}$

(b) Calculate the speed s

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{1}& = & f_{1}\lambda\\& = & \text{7.800 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{20.3 m/s}\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{2}& = & f_{2}\lambda\\& = & \text{15.60 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{40.6 m/s}\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{3}& = & f_{3}\lambda\\& = & \text{23.40 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{60.8 m/s}\\\end{array}$

Two particles in a high-energy accelerator experiment are approaching each other head-on, each with a speed of 0.9520c as measur

Over [174]

Answer:

the magnitude of the velocity of one particle relative to the other is 0.9988c

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Velocities of the two particles = 0.9520c

Using Lorentz transformation

Let relative velocity be W, so

v $_r$ = ( u + v ) / ( 1 + ( uv / c²) )

since each particle travels with the same speed,

u = v

v $_r$ = ( u + u ) / ( 1 + ( u×u / c²) )

v $_r$ = 2(0.9520c) / ( 1 + ( 0.9520c )² / c²) )

we substitute

v $_r$ = 1.904c / ( 1 + ( (0.906304 × c² ) / c²) )

v $_r$ = 1.904c / ( 1 + 0.906304 )

v $_r$ = 1.904c / 1.906304

v $_r$ = 0.9988c

Therefore, the magnitude of the velocity of one particle relative to the other is 0.9988c

What is the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

1. Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not.

2. The ripples made in a pool of water after a stone is thrown in the middle are an example of mechanical wave. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals.

3. Mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude and not by frequency. Electromagnetic Waves are produced by vibration of the charged particles.

4. While an electromagnetic wave is called just a disturbance, a mechanical wave is considered a periodic disturbance.

If the magnitude of the magnetic field is 2.50 mT at a distance of 12.6 cm from a long straight current carrying wire, what is t

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The magnetic field at a distance of 19.8 cm from the wire is 1.591 mT

Explanation:

Given;

first magnetic field at first distance, B₁ = 2.50 mT

first distance, r₁ = 12.6 cm = 0.126 m

Second magnetic field at Second distance, B₂ = ?

Second distance, r₂ = ?

Magnetic field for a straight wire is given as;

$B = \frac{\mu I}{2 \pi r}$

Where:

μ is permeability

B is magnetic field

I is current flowing in the wire

r distance to the wire

$Let \ \frac{\mu I}{2\pi} \ be \ constant; = K\\\\B = \frac{K}{r} \\\\K = Br\\\\B_1r_1 = B_2r_2\\\\B_2 =\frac{B_1r_1}{r_2} \\\\B_2 = \frac{2.5*10^{-3} *0.126}{0.198} \\\\B_2 = 1.591 *10^{-3}\ T\\\\B_2 = 1.591 \ mT$

Therefore, the magnetic field at a distance of 19.8 cm from the wire is 1.591 mT
