4. A light string is attatched to a heavy rope, and the whole thing is pulled tight. A wave is sent along the light string. When

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is (A)

When it hits the heavy rope, compared to the wave on the string, the wave that propagates along the rope has the same (A) frequency

Explanation:

The speed of a wave in a string is dependent on the square root of the tension ad inversely proportional to the square root of the linear density of the string. Generally, the speed of a wave through a spring is dependent on the elastic and inertia properties of the string

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu } } = \sqrt{ \frac{T}{m/L } }$

Therefore if the linear density of the heavy rope is four times that of light rope the velocity is halved and since

v = f×λ therefore v/2 = f×λ/2

Therefore the wavelength is halved, however the frequency remains the same as continuity requires the frequency of the incident pulse vibration to be transmitted to the denser medium for the wave to continue as the wave is due to vibrating particles from a source for example

A rocket passes you at a speed of 0.85c, and you measure its length to be 35.0 m. What is its measured length when at rest?

viktelen [127]

Answer:

66.4 m

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we can use the length contraction formula, which states that the length observed in the reference frame moving with the object (the rocket) is given by

$L=L_0 \sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c})^2}$

where

$L_0$ is the proper length (the length measured from an observer at rest)

v is the speed of the object (the rocket)

c is the speed of light

Here we know

v = 0.85c

L = 35.0 m

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the length of the rocket at rest:

$L_0 = \frac{L}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c})^2}}=\frac{35.0}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{0.85c}{c})^2}}=66.4 m$

While a roofer is working on a roof that slants at 39.0 degrees above the horizontal, he accidentally nudges his 88.0 N toolbox,

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

V= 6.974 m/s

Explanation:

Component( box) weight acting parallel and down roof 88(sin39.0°)=55.4 N

Force of kinetic friction acting parallel and up roof = 18.0 N

Fnet force acting on tool box acting parallel and down roof

Fnet= 55.4 - 18.0

Fnet=37.4 N

acceleration of tool box down roof

a = 37.4(9.81)/88.0

a= 4.169 m/s²

d = 4.90 m

t = √2d/a

t= √2(4.90)/4.169

t= 1.662 s

V = at

V= 4.169(1.662)

V= 6.974 m/s

If a volume of air is warmed, it expands and tends to

Butoxors [25]

if a volume of air is warmed it expands due to increased translational kinetic energy as it expands it will start to cool.

<h3>When does temperature increase volume?</h3>

We can then conclude that at constant pressure, temperature and volume are directly proportional: temperature increases, volume increases; decrease temperature, decrease volume.

In this case, the higher the temperature, the greater the kinetic energy that acts on the molecules of this gas, so when the gas expands, these molecules find more space and collide less, which will cause the gas to cool.
