A wire is stretched between two posts. Another wire is stretched between two posts that are four times as far apart. The tension

in the wires is the same, and they have the same mass. A transverse wave travels on the shorter wire with a speed of 190 m/s. What would be the speed of the wave on the longer wire?

Answer:

Therefore,

The speed of the wave on the longer wire is 95 m/s.

Explanation:

Given:

For Short wire, speed is

v_{s}=190\ m/s

Let length of Short  and Longer wire be L_{s}\ and\ L_{l} such that

L_{l}=4\times L_{s}

To Find:

v_{l}=?  Speed on the longer wire

Solution:

The speed of a pulse or wave on a string under tension can be found with the equation,

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{F_{T}\times L}{m}

Where,

F_{T} = Tension on the wire

L = Length of Sting

m = mass of String

So here we have,

F_{T} = same

L_{l}=4\times L_{s}

Therefore,

v_{s}=\sqrt{\dfrac{F_{T}\times L_{s}}{m} ......equation ( 1 )

And

v_{l}=\sqrt{\dfrac{F_{T}\times L_{l}}{m}  .......equation ( 2 )

Dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and on Solving we get

\dfrac{v_{s}}{v_{l}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{L_{s}}{L_{l}}}

Therefore,

v_{l}=v_{s}\sqrt{\dfrac{4\times L_{s}}{L_{s}}}=190\times 2=380\ m/s

Therefore,

The speed of the wave on the longer wire is 95 m/s.

kolezko [41]

Answer: A projectile is any object in which the only force is gravity

Explanation: Equations on how to calculate projectile velocity is stated below:

The initial velocity Vo being a vector quantity, has two componentsVox and Voy  

V0x = V0 cos(θ) 

V0y = V0 sin(θ) 

The acceleration A is a also a vector with two components Axand Ay given

Ax = 0 and Ay = - g = - 9.8 m/s2 

Along the x axis the acceleration is equal to 0 and therefore the velocity Vx is constant  

Vx = Vocos(θ) 

Along the y axis, the acceleration is uniform and equal to - g and the velocity at time t is g

Vy = Vo sin(θ) - g t 

Along the x axis the velocity Vx is constant and therefore the component x of the displacement is

x = Vocos(θ) t 

Along the y axis, the motion is of uniform acceleration and the y component of the displacement is

y = Vo sin(θ) t - (1/2) g t2

Hi Pupil Here's Your answer :::





➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡





An object moving with constant speed can be accelerated if direction of motion changes. For example, an object moving with a constant speed in a circular path has an acceleration because its direction of motion changes continuously.
