A 1.80-m string of weight 0.0126 N is tied to the ceiling at its upper end, and the lower end supports a weight W. Neglect the v

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

W = 0.135 N

Explanation:

Given:

- y (x, t) = 8.50*cos(172*x -2730*t)

- Weight of string m*g = 0.0126 N

- Attached weight = W

Find:

The attached weight W given that Tension and W are equal.

Solution:

The general form of standing mechanical waves is given by:

y (x, t) = A*cos(k*x -w*t)

Where k = stiffness and w = angular frequency

Hence,

k = 172 and w = 2730

- Calculate wave speed V:

V = w / k = 2730 / 172 = 13.78 m/s

- Tension in the string T:

T = Y*V^2

where Y: is the mass per unit length of the string.

- The tension T and weight attached W are equal:

T = W = Y*V^2 = (w/L*g)*V^2

W = (0.0126 / 1.8*9.81)*(13.78)^2

W = 0.135 N

Radio wave radiation falls in the wavelength region of 10.0 to 1000 meters. What is the energy of radio wave radiation that has

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength of radiation $\lambda =784\ m$

We know Energy of wave with wavelength $\lambda$ is given by

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }$

where h=Planck's constant

c=velocity of light

$\lambda$ =wavelength of wave

$E=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{784}$

$E=2.53\times 10^{-28}\ J$

Hence the energy of the wave with wavelength 784 m is $2.53\times 10^{-28}\ J$

What is the force on a 1025 kg elevator that is falling freely at 9.8 m/sec 2?

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

<h2><u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

Mass = 1025 kg
Acceleration = 9.8 m/s²

Force

<h2><u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

We know that

F = mg

F = 1025 × 9.8

F = 10,045 N

Or,

10045/1000 = 10.045 Kilo Newton
