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.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: 12Mg/h

Explanation:

Let the spring is compressed by a distance x,before the lift stops,then

Mg(h+x)= 1/2 kx^2 ............... 1

Kx - Mg = M ( 5g ) ............ 2

Make x the subject in equation 2

Kx = 5Mg + Mg

Kx = 6Mg

x = 6Mg/k ............ 3

Put equation 3 into 1

Mg ( h + x ) = 1/2 kx^2

Mgh + Mgx = 1/2kx^2

Mgh + Mg × 6Mg/k = 1/2k × ( 6Mg/k )^2

Mgh + Mg× 6Mg/k = 1/2k 36M^2g^2/ k^2

h =18Mg/k - 6Mg/h

K = 12Mg/h

Which is the force of repulsion between two positively-charged particles?
klio [65]
<span> answer>>>>electric force <<<<by the way i don't like physics but i answer this for you ^-^</span>


<span>This is because centripetal force is just the net force of a circular motion. There are no attractive or repulsive forces here. This is not the case here. </span>
<span>The gravitational force is a force reliant on mass and attraction of the masses. There are attractive forces here, but not really repulsive forces. </span>
<span>The electric force is the only one that would make sense because it has to do with a relationship between charges and includes both repulsive and attractive forces.</span>

g A 1.5-kg mass attached to spring with a force constant of 20.0 N/m oscillates on a horizontal, frictionless track. At t = 0, t
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

(a)    f = 0.58Hz

(b)    vmax = 0.364m/s

(c)    amax = 1.32m/s^2

(d)    E = 0.1J

(e)    x(t)=0.1m*cos(2π(0.58s^{-1})t)

Explanation:

(a) The frequency of the oscillation, in a spring-mass system, is calculated by using the following formula:

f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}            (1)

k: spring constant = 20.0N/m

m: mass = 1.5kg

you replace the values of m and k for getting f:

f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{20.0N/m}{1.5kg}}=0.58s^{-1}=0.58Hz

The frequency of the oscillation is 0.58Hz

(b) The maximum speed is given by the following relation:

v_{max}=\omega A=2\pi f A      (2)

A: amplitude of the oscillations = 10.0cm = 0.10m

v_{max}=2\pi (0.58s^{-1})(0.10m)=0.364\frac{m}{s}

The maximum speed of the mass is 0.364 m/s.

The maximum speed occurs when the mass passes trough the equilibrium point of the oscillation.

(c) The maximum acceleration is given by the following formula:

a_{max}=\omega^2A=(2\pi f)^2 A

a_{max}=(2\pi (0.58s^{-1}))(0.10m)=1.32\frac{m}{s^2}

The maximum acceleration is 1.32 m/s^2

The maximum acceleration occurs where the elastic force is a maximum, that is, where the mass is at the maximum distance from the equilibrium point, that is, the acceleration.

(d) The total energy of the system is calculated with the maximum potential elastic energy:

E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2=\frac{1}{2}(20.0N/m)(0.10m)^2=0.1J

The total energy is 0.1J

(e) The displacement as a function of time is:

x(t)=Acos(\omega t)=Acos(2\pi ft)\\\\x(t)=0.1m\ cos(2\pi(0.58s^{-1})t)
