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 290 m/s. What would be the speed of the wave on the longer wire?

Answer:

The speed of the wave on the longer wire is 580m/s

Explanation:

The velocity possessed by a stretched string is directly proportional to the tension in the string and inversely proportional to the mass per unit length of the string. Mathematically,

V = √T/m

Where V is the velocity of wave in the wire

T is the tension in the wire

M is the mass per unit length of the wire

Let m1 and m2 be the mass per unit length of the wires

Let T1 and T2 be their respective tensions

Since the tension and mass of the wire is the same

m1= m2= m.

T1=T2=T

Let m1 =M/l

m2 =M/4l( since the second is tour times as far apart)

V1 = 290m/s(velocity in shorter wire)

V2 is the velocity of the longer wire.

V1 = √T/(m/l)

290 = √Tl/m

290² = Tl/m... 1

V2 = √4Tl/m

V2²= 4Tl/m... 2

Dividing equation 1 by 2 we have;

290²/V2² = {Tl/m}/{4Tl/m}

290²/V2² = Tl/m × m/4Tl

290²/V2² = 1/4

Cross multiplying we have;

V2² = 290²×4

V2 = √290²×4

V2 = 290×2

V2 = 580m/s

What difficulty will you encounter if you only have data from two recording station?
denpristay [2]

<span>If you have only two data from two recording stations then you will be having a hard time finding the correct location of the epicenter. This is because triangulation method requires 3 recording station. If you have 2 recording station, the 2 circles will intersect at 2 points giving you 2 locations that could possibly be the epicenter.</span>

Each element has an atomic number state which is meant by atomic number
netineya [11]

Answer: The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom, and isotopes have the same atomic number but differ in the number of neutrons. The number of protons in an atom is called its atomic number. This number is very important because it is unique for atoms of a given element. All atoms of an element have the same number of protons, and every element has a different number of protons in its atoms.

A flea walking along a ruler moves from the 45 cm mark to the 27 cm mark. It does this in 3 seconds. What is the speed? What is
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Speed= 6cm/s and velocity= 6cm/s in the negative direction

Explanation:

the change in position is from 45cm to 27 cm (moving towards the negative x direction)

\Delta x = 45 cm - 27 cm = 18 cm

And the change in time:

\Delta t= 3 s

Now we must define the difference between speed and velocity:

Speed is a scalar quantity, which means that it is a number. Velocity ​​is also a number but you must also indicate the direction of the movement.

Thus, the speed is:

speed= \Delta x/ \Delta t = 18cm/3s=6cm/s

An the velocity is:

6cm/s in the negative direction
