A 1.50-m string of weight 0.0125 N is tied to the ceiling at its upper end, and the lower end supports a weight W. Ignore the ve
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of string = .0125 / 9.8

= 1.275 x 10⁻³ kg

Length of string l = 1.5 m .

m = mass per unit length

= ( .1.275 / 1.5) x 10⁻³ kg/m

m = .85 x 10⁻³ kg/m

wave equation: y(x,t) = (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x − 4830 rad/s t)

compare with equation of wave

y(x,t) = Acos(K x − ω t)

ω ( angular velocity ) = 4830 rad/s

k = 172 rad/m

Velocity = ω / k

= 4830/172 m /s

= 28.08 m /s

velocity of wave = \sqrt{\frac{W}{m } }

28.08 = \sqrt{\frac{W}{.85\times10^{-3} } }

788.48 =  W / .85 X 10⁻³

W = 670 x  10⁻³ N .

c ) wave length

wave length =2π  / k

= 2 x 3.14 / 172

= .0365 m

no of wave lengths over whole length of string

= 1.5 / .0365

= 41

d )

equation for waves traveling down the string

= (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x + 4830 rad/s t)

A large fraction of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the sun is absorbed by the atmosphere. The main UV absorber in ou
elena55 [62]

Answer:

3.2\times 10^{-7}\ m or 0.32 μm.

Explanation:

Given:

The radiations are UV radiation.

The frequency of the radiations absorbed (f) = 9.38\times 10^{14}\ Hz

The wavelength of the radiations absorbed (λ) = ?

We know that, the speed of ultraviolet radiations is same as speed of light.

So, speed of UV radiation (v) = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Now, we also know that, the speed of the electromagnetic radiation is related to its frequency and wavelength and is given as:

v=f\lambda

Now, expressing the above equation in terms of wavelength 'λ', we have:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'λ'. This gives,

\lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{9.38\times 10^{14}\ Hz}\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-7}\ m\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-7}\times 10^{6}\ \mu m\ [1\ m=10^6\ \mu m]\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-1}=0.32\ \mu m

Therefore, the wavelength of the radiations absorbed by the ozone is nearly 3.2\times 10^{-7}\ m or 0.32 μm.

A 1569 kg car moves with a velocity of 15 m/s. What is its kinetic energy? Joules
Crank
Kinetic energy = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2

In this case,
KE = 1/2 * 1569 kg * (15 (m/s))^2 = 176,5 kN

How was the lunar regolith formed?
Gwar [14]
It is formed by the impact of meteorites on the body’s surface. The force of the collision melts some of the impacted regolith to form objects.

Design a solution that can monitor and minimize the melting of sea ice caused by human activity
dedylja [7]

Answer:

CO2 emissions from fossil fuel burning should be minimized at all cost. The CO2 are gotten when the carbons from hydrocarbons react with air(oxygen). This gas erodes the ozone layer which makes the melting of ice caps faster due to increased amount of heat radiations on the earth. This is the only best and permanent solution to the reduction of the amount of heat rays on the earth which is a global problem.

Objects which reflects back the sunrays could also be inserted into the sea to prevent the melting of the ice caps.
