Answer:

Explanation:

The velocity of a wave in a string is equal to:

v = √(T / (m/L))

where T is the tension and m/L is the mass per length.

To find the mass per length, we need to find the cross-sectional area of the thread.

A = πr² = π/4 d²

A = π (3.0×10⁻⁶ m)²

A = 2.83×10⁻¹¹ m²

So the mass per length is:

m/L = ρA

m/L = (1300 kg/m³) (2.83×10⁻¹¹ m²)

m/L = 3.68×10⁻⁸ kg/m

So the wave velocity is:

v = √(T / (m/L))

v = √(7.0×10⁻³ N / (3.68×10⁻⁸ kg/m))

v ≈ 440 m/s

The speed of sound in air at sea level is around 340 m/s.  So the spider will feel the vibration in the thread before it hears the sound.

In a displacement versus time graph, what does the slope of a line at any point indicate?
Rom4ik [11]

In a displacement versus time graph, the slope of the line at any point on the graph indicates the <em>magnitude of velocity</em>.  

(It can't indicate velocity completely, because the graph shows nothing about the direction of the motion.)

A bicyclist is traveling at +25m/s when he begins to decelerate at -4m/s2. How fast is he traveling after 5 seconds
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

+5m/s

Explanation:

When doing the math we figure out that e is going to be slowing down at -4m/s² for 5 seconds. In total he is slowing down -20m/s which we take from the total speed of +25m/s to get his current new speed.

Photons of wavelength 65.0 pm are Compton-scattered from a free electron which picks up a kinetic energy of 0.84 keV from the co
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

λ  = 65.6 pm

Explanation:

Given that

λo = 65 pm

The initial energy of the electron

E_o=\dfrac{hC}{\lambda_0 }

Now by putting the values

E_o=\dfrac{hC}{\lambda_0 }

E_o=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{65\times 10^{-12}}

E_o=3.05\times 10^{-15}\ J

E_o=\dfrac{3.05\times 10^{-15}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 10^3}\ KeV

Eo=19.06 KeV

Given that kinetic energy KE= 0.84 KeV

Therefore the final energy

E= Eo - KE

E = 19.06 - 0.84 KeV

E= 18.22 KeV

The wavelength  λ can be find as

E=\dfrac{hC}{\lambda}

\lambda=\dfrac{hC}{E}

\lambda=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{19.06 \times 10^3\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}

λ = 6.56 x 10⁻¹¹ m

λ  = 65.6 pm
