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.

Luda [366]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the baseball, u = 44 m/s

Speed of the baseball, v = 53 m/s

Mass of the ball, m = 145 g = 0.145 kg

Time of contact between the ball and the bat, t = 2.2 ms = 0.0022 s

F=ma

F=\dfrac{mv}{t}

F_1=\dfrac{0.145\ kg\times 44\ m/s}{0.0022\ s}

F₁ = 2900 N...........(1)

F=ma

F=\dfrac{mv}{t}

F_2=\dfrac{0.145\ kg\times 53\ m/s}{0.0022\ s}

F₂ = 3493.18 N.........(2)

In average vector form force is given by :

F=F_1+F_2

F=(2900i+(-3493.18)\ N

F=(2900i-3493.18j)\ N

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is capacitance?
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

A, the amount of charge stored per volt

Explanation:

Capacitance is defined below:

C = Q/V

Therefore capacitance is charge per volt which gets the unit farad.

Which of the statements best describes density?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter D.

Explanation:

a.The mass that a mole of substance has, measured in grams per mole.  Density is not measure in moles, so this is not the correct answer.

b.The amount of substance dissolved in a liquid, measured in moles per liter.  The substance dissolved in a liquid must be measure in grams not in moles, so this answer is incorrect.

c.The mass of substance dissolved in a liquid, measured in grams per milliliter.  I think that this definition is correct but is incomple, so this answer is wrong.

d.The ratio of a substance's mass to its volume, measured in grams per milliliter and also equivalent to grams per cubic centimeter. This is the right description to density, so this is the correct answer.
