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

Find the position vector of a particle that has the given acceleration and the specified initial velocity and position. a(t) = 1
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Acceleration a(t)=14t\hat{i]+\sin (t)\hat{j}+\cos (2t)\hat{k}[/tex]

and v(0)=\hat{i}

r(0)=\hat{j}

we know a=\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t}

\int dv=\int adt

v(t)=\int (14t\hat{i}+\sin (t)\hat{j}+\cos (2t)\hat{k})dt

v(t)=7t^2\hat{i}-\cos t\hat{j}+\frac{\sin (2t)\hat{k}}{2}+c

at t=0

v(0)=0-1\cdot \hat{j}+0+c

c=\hat{i}+\hat{j}

v(t)=(7t^2+1)\hat{i}+(1-\cos t)\hat{j}+\frac{\sin (2t)\hat{k}}{2}

and \frac{\mathrm{d} r}{\mathrm{d} t}=v(t)

\int dr=\int vdt

r(t)=\int ((7t^2+1)\hat{i}+(1-\cos t)\hat{j}+\frac{\sin (2t)\hat{k}}{2})dt

r(t)=(\frac{7}{2}t^3+t)\hat{i}+(t-\sin (t))\hat{j}+\frac{1}{2}\times (-\frac{1}{2}\cos 2t)\hat{k}+c_2

at t=0

r(0)=\hat{j}

r(t)=(\frac{7}{3}t^3+t)\hat{i}+(1+t-\sin t)\hat{j}+\frac{1}{4}(1-\cos 2t)\hat{k}

Which formula describes Newton’s second law of motion?
Allushta [10]
Newton's second law of motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.
