Answer:

The tension on string when the speed was raised is 134.53 N

Explanation:

Given;

Tension on the string, T = 120 N

initial speed of the transverse wave, v₁ = 170 m/s

final speed of the transverse wave, v₂ = 180 m/s

The speed of the wave is given as;

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

where;

μ is mass per unit length

v^2 = \frac{T}{\mu} \\\\\mu = \frac{T}{v^2} \\\\\frac{T_1}{v_1^2}  = \frac{T_2}{v_2^2}

The final tension T₂ will be calculated as;

T_2 = \frac{T_1 v_2^2}{v_1^2} \\\\T_2 = \frac{120*180^2}{170^2} \\\\T_2 = 134.53 \ N

Therefore, the tension on string when the speed was raised is 134.53 N

slega [8]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is:

(a) \frac{1}{4}(I_o)

(b) \frac{1}{4} (u_o)

(c) \frac{1}{2}B_o

Explanation:

According to the question, the value is:

Power of bulb,

= 60 W

Distance,

= 1.0 mm

Now,

(a)

⇒  \frac{I}{I_o} =\frac{r_o_2}{r_2}

On applying cross-multiplication, we get

⇒  I=I_o\times \frac{1_2}{2^2}

⇒     =I_o\times \frac{1}{4}

⇒     =\frac{1}{4} (I_o)

(b)

As we know,

⇒ \frac{u}{u_o} =\frac{I}{I_o}

By putting the values, we get

⇒ u=\frac{1}{4}(u_o)

(c)

⇒ \frac{B^2}{B_o^2} =\frac{u}{u_o}

         =\frac{I}{I_o}

⇒ B=B_o\times \sqrt{\frac{1}{4} }

⇒     =\frac{1}{2}(B_o)

sweet [91]

Answer:

11.6 g/m³

Explanation:

The complete question is,

The device shows the relative humidity at 22 degrees celsius. What's the water vapor density if the maximum water vapor in air at this temperature is 20 gram/cubic meter? a device showing that at 22 degrees celsius the relative humidity is 58%.

Solution:

saturation of water in air is showed by the relative humidity. As it is 58% and not 100%. Lets scale density that we have, if humidity is 100%.

density is 20 gram/m³ when the humidity is 100%

When humidity is 58%

0.58 x 20 = 11.6 g/m³

Therefore, density is 11.6g/m³

How would a system which exchanges energy but does not exchange matter between the system and the surroundings be classified?
Elodia [21]
If a system allows the exchange of energy but does not permit exchange of matter between the system and surroundings, this system is classified as a CLOSED system. The energy that flows in and out of the system boundaries is in the form of heat.
