What is the frequency of the fundamental mode of vibration of a steel piano wire stretched to a tension of 440 N? The wire is 0.
Rasek [7]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The tension is  T  =  440 \  N

     The length of the wire is l =  0.600 \  m

     The mass is  m  =  5.60 \ g = 0.0056 \  kg

Generally the frequency is mathematically represented as

            f  =  \frac{1}{2l}  *  \sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{m}{l} } }

=>        f  =  \frac{1}{2 * 0.600 }  *  \sqrt{\frac{440}{\frac{0.0056}{0.600} } }

=>        f = 181 \ Hz

Mariner 10 was the first to visit this planet in 1974. what is this planet?
hram777 [196]
<h2>Answer: Mercury</h2><h2 />

The Mariner 10 probe was launched by NASA on November 3rd, 1973, with the purpose of exploring the characteristics of two planets in the solar system that were closest to the Sun, Mercury and Venus.  

In addition, it was launched to explore the atmosphere and surface of both planets and <u>prove that it was possible to use gravitational assistance</u> (also called <u>slingshot effect</u>, a special orbital maneuver in order to use the gravitational field energy of a planet or massive body to accelerate or slow the probe and change the direction of its trajectory) in long interplanetary trips to save fuel.  

In this case, <u>Mariner 10 first arrived at Venus</u> and succeded in using its gravitational field to accelerate its trajectory towards Mercury.

Please help me Calculate the total energy stored in the capacitor​
Neko [114]

La fórmula: P = W/t  ó  W = P x t. donde:

P = potencia

W = trabajo

t = tiempo

Otra fórmula de potencia es: P= I x V

Proceso de carga de un capacitor - condensador

Una fórmula muy importante que también hay que tener en cuenta es: V = q/C que indica que el voltaje es proporcional a la carga que hay en un condensador.

De la fórmula de potencia P= I x V y considerando que la corriente es constante (corriente continua), entonces la potencia es proporcional al voltaje.  Si el voltaje aumenta en forma lineal, la potencia aumentará igual. Ver el siguiente diagrama.

Como la potencia varía en función del tiempo, no se puede aplicar la fórmula W = P x t, para calcular la energía transferida. Pero observando el gráfico, se ve que esta energía se puede determinar midiendo el área bajo la curva de la figura.

Energía Almacenada en un Condensador - Capacitor

 

El área bajo la curva es igual a la mitad de la potencia en el momento “t”, multiplicada por “t”.

Entonces: W = (P x t) / 2. Pero se sabe que P = V x I. Si se reemplaza esta última fórmula en la anterior se obtiene: W = (V x I x t) / 2, y como I x t = CV = Q, entonces para saber cuanta energía (W) hay en un condensador usamos una de las siguientes fórmulas:

W = (CV2/2) julios

W = (QV/2) julios

W  = (Q2/2C) julios

, donde:

W = Trabajo (Energía) en julios

C = Capacidad en faradios

V = voltaje en voltios en los extremos del condensador

Q = carga del condensador

Consider an electromagnetic wave propagating through a region of empty space. How is the energy density of the wave partitioned
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Option (2) is correct.

The energy density of an electromagnetic wave is equally divided between the magnetic and electric fields.

Explanation:

An electromagnetic waves are the waves which are produced when the oscillating electric and magnetic field are interact each other perpendicular to each other. The direction of propagation of electro magnetic waves is perpendicular to each electric and magnetic fields.

The energy associated with the electromagnetic waves is equally distributed in form of electric and magnetic fields.

So, the correct option is (2).
