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

This would be an illustration of Newton's first law of motion. Law of inertia, an object moving at constant velocity will keep moving at constant velocity until a force is acted upon it. Inertia is the tendency of an object to keep moving in a particular direction resisting to change, unless a force acts upon the object.

A 0.15-kg ball is thrown into the air and rises to a height of 20.0 m. How much kinetic energy did the ball initially have?
zzz [600]
IF the toss was straight upward, then the kinetic energy it got
from the toss is the gravitational potential energy it has at the top,
where it stops rising and starts falling.

Potential energy =  (mass)  x   (gravity) x (height)

                           = (0.15 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (20 m)

                           =      29.4 kg-m²/s²  =  29.4 joules .

A machine shop worker reports the mass of an aluminum cube as 176 g. If one side of the cube measures 4 cm, what is the density
Zarrin [17]

-- Since it's a cube, its length, width, and height are all the same 4 cm .

-- Its volume is (length x width x height) = 64 cm³ .

-- Density = (mass) / (volume)

                = (176 g) / (64 cm³) 

                =         2.75 gm/cm³ .
