A 0.49-kg cord is stretched between two supports, 7.8m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave travels

down the cord and reaches the other support in 0.83s . What is the tension in the cord?

To solve this problem we will apply the laws of Mersenne. Mersenne's laws are laws describing the frequency of oscillation of a stretched string or monochord, useful in musical tuning and musical instrument construction. This law tells us that the velocity in a string is directly proportional to the root of the applied tension, and inversely proportional to the root of the linear density, that is,

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

Here,

v = Velocity

\mu= Linear density (Mass per  unit length)

T = Tension

Rearranging to find the Period we have that

T = v^2 \mu

T = v^2 (\frac{m}{L})

As we know that speed is equivalent to displacement in a unit of time, we will have to

T = (\frac{L}{t}) ^2(\frac{m}{L})

T = (\frac{7.8}{0.83})^2 (\frac{0.49}{7.8})

T = 5.54N

Therefore the tension is 5.54N

Calculate the rate of heat conduction through a layer of still air that is 1 mm thick, with an area of 1 m, for a temperature of
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The rate of heat conduction through the layer of still air is 517.4 W

Explanation:

Given:

Thickness of the still air layer (L) = 1 mm

Area of the still air = 1 m

Temperature of the still air ( T) = 20°C

Thermal conductivity of still air (K) at 20°C = 25.87mW/mK

Rate of heat conduction (Q) = ?

To determine the rate of heat conduction through the still air, we apply the formula below.

Q =\frac{KA(\delta T)}{L}

Q =\frac{25.87*1*20}{1}

Q = 517.4 W

Therefore, the rate of heat conduction through the layer of still air is 517.4 W

A bowling ball accidentally falls out of the cargo bay of an airliner as it flies along in a horizontal direction. As seen from
valina [46]

The path the bowling ball would most closely follow after leaving the airplane is horizontal direction.

<h3>Path of the bowling ball</h3>

Based on the law of inertia, which is the reluctance of an object to stop moving once in motion or start moving when it is at rest.

The bowling ball will maintain the path of the airline in the first few seconds of fall, after which it will change its path to vertical direction.

Thus, the path the bowling ball would most closely follow after leaving the airplane is horizontal direction.

Suppose that the net resistance comes from two resistors in series: R=R1+R2. Assume that you measure each resistor independently
rewona [7]

Answer:

± (.021 ) ohm

Explanation:

In the addition of two physical quantities , the uncertainties are simply added .

So , net uncertainty in the value of R will be

± (.007 +.014)

=± (.021 ) ohm

What is the term that describes waves that require a medium through which to travel?
gladu [14]

Answer:

Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium. This means that they have to have some sort of matter to travel through. These waves travel when molecules in the medium collide with each other passing on energy. One example of a mechanical wave is sound.
