Two Ethernet cables of the same length are pulled taut at the same tension. Cable 2 hasfour times the weight of cable 1. Waves t

ravel along the length of the cable 1 at a speedof 8.0 m/s. What is the speed, in m/s, of waves on cable 2?

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

T = Tension

m = Mass of string

Velocity of wave in string is given by

For first cable

v_1=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{m}}=8

For second cable

v_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{4m}}\\\Rightarrow v_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 8\\\Rightarrow v_2=4\ m/s

The speed of wave in cable two is 4 m/s

How fast must a 0.142-kg baseball move in order to have the same momentum as the bus?
Otrada [13]
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of a body. In this case, the bus has a mass of 18200 kg and moving with a velocity of 10 m/s.
Therefore, the momentum of the bus will be, 18200×10 = 182,000 kgm/s.
Thus a ball of mass 0.142 kg will require to travel with a speed of;
            = 182000/0.142
            = 1.282 ×10∧6 m/s to have the same momentum with the bus.

Kepler deduced this law of motion from observations of Mars. What information confirms his conclusion that the orbit of Mars is
Leno4ka [110]

Kepler noticed an imaginary line drawn from a planet to the Sun and this line swept out an equal area of space in equal times, If we then draw a triangle out from the Sun to a planet’s position at one point in time, it is notice that the area doesn't change even after the planet has left the original position say like after 2 to 3days or 2hours. So to have same area of triangle means that the the planet move faster when that are closer to the sun and slowly when they are far from the sun.

This led to Kepler's law of orbital motion.

First Law: Planetary orbits are elliptical with the sun at a focus.

Second Law: The radius vector from the sun to a planet sweeps equal areas in equal times.

Third Law: The ratio of the square of the period of revolution and the cube of the ellipse semi-major axis is the same for all planets.

It is this Kepler's law that makes Newton to come up with his own laws on how planet moves the way they do.

A block of mass 3 kg slides along a horizontal surface that has negligible friction except for one section, as shown above. The

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The value  is F_f = 3 *  -4

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

  The mass of the block is  m = 3 \ kg

  The initial speed of the block before entering the rough section is u = 5 \ m/s

  The time taken is  t = 0.5 s

   The  speed with which the block leaves the rough section is  v = 3 \ m/s

Generally from kinematic equation

      v = u + at

=>   a = \frac{v - u }{t}

=>   a = \frac{3 - 5 }{0.5}

=>   a = - 4

Generally the magnitude of the average frictional  force is mathematically represented as

      F_f = m *  a

=>  F_f = 3 *  -4

=>    F_f =   -12  \ N

The negative sign show that the force is acting in the opposite direction to the direction of motion of the block

The force it would take to accelerate a 700-kg car at a rate of 5m/s2 is
Anastasy [175]

mass of car =700kg

Required acceleration =5m/s^2

According to newton's second law

F=ma

F=(700)(5)

F=3500 Kgm/sec^2
