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

Calculate the angular velocity of the neptune (orbital period of 165 earth period) in its orbit around the sun.
ludmilkaskok [199]
The correct answer is: Angular velocity =  1.208 * 10^{-9} rad/s

Explanation:
The angular velocity is given as:
ω = \frac{2\pi}{T} --- (1)

Where T = 165 * (365 days) * (24 hours/day) * (60 minutes/hour) * (60 seconds/minute) = 5203440000 s

Plug in the value in (1):
ω = \frac{2\pi}{5203440000} = 1.208 * 10^{-9} rad/s

If the electron just misses the upper plate as it emerges from the field, find the magnitude of the electric field.
Damm [24]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field be 171.76 N/C so that the electron misses the plate.

Explanation:

As data is incomplete here, so by seeing the complete question from the search the data is

vx_0=1.1 x 10^6

ax=0 As acceleration is zero in the horizontal axis so

Equation of motion in horizontal direction is given as

s_x=v_x_0 t

t=\frac{s_x}{v_x}\\t=\frac{2 \times 10^{-2}}{1.1 \times 6}\\t=1.82 \times 10^{-8} s

Now for the vertical distance

vy_o=0

than the equation of motion becomes

s_y=v_y_0 t+\frac{1}{2} at^2\\s_y=\frac{1}{2} at^2\\0.5 \times 10^{-2}=\frac{1}{2} a(1.82 \times 10^{-8})^2\\a=3.02 \times 10^{13} m/s^2

Now using this acceleration the value of electric field is calculated as

E=\frac{F}{q}\\E=\frac{ma}{q}\\E=\frac{m_ea}{q_e}\\

Here a is calculated above, m is the mass of electron while q is the charge of electron, substituting values in the equation

E=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31} \times 3.02 \times 10^{13} }{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}\\E=171.76 N/C

So the magnitude of the electric field be 171.76 N/C so that the electron misses the plate.
