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

How can we calculate force
lutik1710 [3]

To calculate force, use the formula force equals mass times acceleration, or F = m × a. Make sure that the mass measurement you're using is in kilograms and the acceleration is in meters over seconds squared. When you've solved the equation, the force will be measured in Newtons.

Two astronauts are playing catch in a zero gravitational field. Astronaut 1 of mass m1 is initially moving to the right with spe
Ede4ka [16]

The final velocity (v_1_f) of the first astronaut will be greater than the <em>final velocity</em> of the second astronaut (v_2_f) to ensure that the total initial momentum of both astronauts is equal to the total final momentum of both astronauts <em>after throwing the ball</em>.

The given parameters;

  • Mass of the first astronaut, = m₁
  • Mass of the second astronaut, = m₂
  • Initial velocity of the first astronaut, = v₁
  • Initial velocity of the second astronaut, = v₂ > v₁
  • Mass of the ball, = m
  • Speed of the ball, = u
  • Final velocity of the first astronaut, = v_f_1
  • Final velocity of the second astronaut, = v_f_2

The final velocity of the first astronaut relative to the second astronaut after throwing the ball is determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum.

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = m_2v_2_f + m_1v_1_f

if v₂ > v₁, then v_1_f > v_2_f, to conserve the linear momentum.

Thus, the final velocity (v_1_f) of the first astronaut will be greater than the <em>final velocity</em> of the second astronaut (v_2_f) to ensure that the total initial momentum of both astronauts is equal to the total final momentum of both astronauts after throwing the ball.

Optical tweezers use light from a laser to move single atoms and molecules around. Suppose the intensity of light from the tweez
katrin [286]

Answer:

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2

Explanation:

pressure P  = E/c

Where, E = 100 W/m^2 intensity of light

c= speed of light  = 3×10^8 m/s

P = 1000/ 3×10^8

P = 3.33×10^(-6) Pa

Force F = P×A

  • P is the pressure and c= speed of light

F = 3.33×10^{-6}×6.65×10(-29)

= 2.22×10^{-6}

acceleration a  = F/m = 2.22×10^{-6}/ 5.10×10^{-27}

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2
