After the pendulum is dropped, determine the height at which the kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy.

A heavy stone of mass m is hung from the ceiling by a thin 8.25-g wire that is 65.0 cm long. When you gently pluck the upper end

Triss [41]

Answer: m= 35.6 kg

Explanation:

For finding the mass of the stone we have the formula

v= $\sqrt{\frac{Tension}{Linear. Mass. density} }$

Here, Tension= m*g = m*9.81

and linear mass density= $\frac{8.25 g}{65 cm}$

Linear mass density= $\frac{8.25*10^-3}{65*10^-2}$

Linear mass density= 0.0127 kg/m

Velocity= $2*\frac{l}{t}$

Velocity= 2 * $\frac{65*10^-2}{7.84}$

Velocity= 165.8 m/s

So putting all these values in equation we get

v= $\sqrt{\frac{Tension}{Linear. Mass. density} }$

165.8= $\sqrt{\frac{m*9.81}{0.0127} }$

Solving we get

m= 35.58 kg

or m= 35.6 kg

the human nervous system can propagate nerve impulses at about 10 squared metered per second. estimate the time it takes to trav

rusak2 [61]

Use the formular d = v x t
d = 2m
v= 100m/s

t= d / v
= 2 / 100
= 0.02sec

Which of the following is the most reasonable weight in units of newtons for an average adult?

Oliga [24]

Answer: The reason weight for average adult is 530N

Explanation: The clearly see this answer, let's convert this weight to kg using F=mg

530=m×9.8

g is a constant of 9.8m/s2

We divide both sides by 9.8 to get

54kg then this weight is reasonable for an average adult.

You and a partner sit on the floor and stretch out a coiled spring to a length of 7.2 meters. You shake the coil so you

vekshin1

Answer:

Approximately $5.9\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ (assuming that the partner is holding the other end of the coil stationary.)

Explanation:

In a standing wave, an antinode is a point that moves with maximal amplitude, while a node is a point that does not move at all. There is an antinode between every two adjacent nodes. Likewise, there is a node between every two adjacent antinodes.

The side of the spring that is being shaken moving with maximal amplitude. Hence, that point on this spring would also be an antinode. In contrast, the side of the spring that is held still (does not move at all) would be a node.

There would be a node between:

the antinode at the end of the spring that is being shaken, and
the antinode between the two ends of this spring.

Overall, the nodes and antinodes on this spring would be:

node at the end that is being held still,
antinode (as mentioned in the question),
node (inferred, not mentioned in the question), and
antinode at the end that is being shaken.

The distance between two adjacent nodes is equal to one-half (that is, $(1/2)$ ) the wavelength of the wave. The distance between a node and an adjacent antinode is one-quarter (that is, $(1/4)$ ) of the wavelength of the wave.

Thus, if the wavelength of the wave in this question is $\lambda$ , the length of this spring would be:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, \lambda + \frac{1}{4}\, \lambda = \frac{3}{4}\, \lambda$ .

The question states that the length of this coiled spring is $7.2\; {\rm m}$ . In other words, $(3/4) \, \lambda = 7.2\; {\rm m}$ . The wavelength of this wave would be $(7.2\; {\rm m}) / (3/4) = 9.6\; {\rm m}$ .
