The mass of a string is 2.40×10-3 kg, and it is stretched so the tension in it is 120 N. A transverse wave traveling on this str

ing has a frequency of 260 Hz and a wavelength of 0.60 m. What is the length of the string?

Answer:

Length of the string, l = 0.486 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the string, $m=2.4\times 10^{-3}\ kg$

Tension in the string, T = 120 N

Frequency of transverse wave, f = 260 Hz

Wavelength of the wave, $\lambda=0.6\ m$

The speed of a transverse wave (v) is given by :

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}$ ........(1)

<em>Where,</em>

$\mu=\dfrac{m}{l}$

Also, speed of a wave, $v=f\times \lambda$ .........(2)

From equation (1) and (2) :

$l=\dfrac{f^2\lambda^2m}{T}$

$l=\dfrac{(260\ Hz)^2\times (0.6\ m)^2\times 2.4\times 10^{-3}\ kg}{120\ N}$

l = 0.486 m

So, the length of the string is 0.486 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

The atmosphere protects us from _____ and _____.

sveticcg [70]

Answer: B. meteorites, UV rays

The earth's atmosphere plays an important role in shielding the space rocks and meteorites enters inside the earth due to collision with the celestial body. Due to high heat and pressure in the mesospheric layer of the atmosphere these meteorites burned up before reaching the biosphere or hydrosphere system of the earth. The UV rays are protected from entering into the earth atmosphere by the ozone layer present in the stratosphere of the atmosphere. Both meteorites and UV rays can negatively effect the human population. Therefore, the atmosphere is an agent which provides protection against them.

A 1.00 kg particle has the xy coordinates (-1.20 m, 0.500 m) and a 4.50 kg particle has the xy coordinates (0.600 m, -0.750 m).

just olya [345]

Answer:

a) The x coordinate of the third mass is -1.562 meters.

b) The y coordinate of the third mass is -0.944 meters.

Explanation:

The center of mass of a system of particles ( $\vec r_{cm}$ ), measured in meters, is defined by this weighted average:

$\vec r_{cm} = \frac{\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}\,m_{i}\cdot \vec r_{i}}{\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}\,m_{i}}$ (1)

Where:

$m_{i}$ - Mass of the i-th particle, measured in kilograms.

$\vec r_{i}$ - Location of the i-th particle with respect to origin, measured in meters.

If we know that $\vec r_{cm} = (-0.500\,m,-0.700\,m)$ , $m_{1} = 1\,kg$ , $\vec r_{1} = (-1.20\,m, 0.500\,m)$ , $m_{2} = 4.50\,kg$ , $\vec r_{2} = (0.600\,m, -0.750\,m)$ and $m_{3} = 4\,kg$ , then the coordinates of the third particle are:

$(-0.500\,m, -0.700\,m) = \frac{(1\,kg)\cdot (-1.20\,m,0.500\,m)+(4.50\,kg)\cdot (0.600\,m,-0.750\,m)+(4\,kg)\cdot \vec r_{3}}{1\,kg+4.50\,kg+4\,kg}$

$(-4.75\,kg\cdot m, -6.65\,kg\cdot m) = (-1.20\,kg\cdot m, 0.500\,kg\cdot m) + (2.7\,kg\cdot m, -3.375\,kg\cdot m) +(4\cdot x_{3},4\cdot y_{3})$

$(4\cdot x_{3}, 4\cdot y_{3}) = (-6.25\,kg\cdot m,-3.775\,kg\cdot m)$

$(x_{3},y_{3}) = (-1.562\,m,-0.944\,m)$

a) The x coordinate of the third mass is -1.562 meters.

b) The y coordinate of the third mass is -0.944 meters.

an electron is moving with a speed of 0.85c in a direction opposite to that of photon. calculate the relative velocity of the el

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

1.85c

Explanation:

a photon moves at c, the electron is moving at 0.85c, and since they are moving in opposing directions, the relative speed would be 1.85c
