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

makkiz [27]
This is called the Phi Phenomenon.
This is an illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in quick succession; when two adjacent stationary lights blink on and off in quick succession; we perceive a single light moving back and forth between them. It is an optical illusion of perceiving a series of still images, when viewed in rapid succession, as continuous motion.

If mechanical energy is conserved, then a pendulum that has a potential energy of 20 J at its highest point and 0.5 J at its low
liraira [26]
At the highest point: kinetic energy is 0 due to the speed  is 0

So the total mechanical energy is 20

Assume no frictions present, then the mechanical energy is conserved

So at the lowest point, kinetic energy = mechanical energy - potential energy

Answer will be 20 - 0.5 = 19.5 J

A satellite orbits the earth at a speed of 8.0x 10^3m/s . Calculate the period of orbit of the satellite if the distance between
gladu [14]

Hi there!

The period of an orbit can be found by:

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

T = Period (? s)
r = radius of orbit (6400000 m)

v = speed of the satellite (8000 m/s)

This is the same as the distance = vt equation. The total distance traveled by the satellite is the circumference of its circular orbit.

Let's plug in what we know and solve.

T = \frac{2\pi (6400000)}{8000} = \boxed{5026.55 s}

The dimensions of a cylinder are changing, but the height is always equal to the diameter of the base of the cylinder. If the he
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

dV/dt  = 9 cubic inches per second

Explanation:

Let the height of the cylinder is h

Diameter of cylinder = height of the cylinder = h

Radius of cylinder, r = h/2

dh/dt = 3 inches /s

Volume of cylinder is given by

V = \pi r^{2}h

put r = h/2 so,

V = \pi \frac{h^{3}}{4}

Differentiate both sides with respect to t.

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{3h^{2}}{4}\times \frac{dh}{dt}

Substitute the values, h = 2 inches, dh/dt = 3 inches / s

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{3\times 2\times 2}{4}\times 3

dV/dt  = 9 cubic inches per second

Thus, the volume of cylinder increases by the rate of 9 cubic inches per second.
