You can use Vf^2-Vi^2 = 2ax

Vf^2 - 0 = 2(9.81)(25)

Or you can use energy

mgh = 1/2mv^2

2gh =v^2

A toy train is traveling along a circular track

Molodets [167]

Answer:

0.25 m

Explanation:

a = v² / r

4.0 m/s² = (1.0 m/s)² / r

r = 0.25 m

Two identical mandolin strings under 200 N of tension are sounding tones with frequencies of 590 Hz. The peg of one string slips

Slav-nsk [51]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to frequency and vibration of strings. Mathematically the frequency can be expressed as

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

Then the relation between two different frequencies with same wavelength would be

$\frac{f'}{f} = \frac{v'/\wavelength}{v/\wavelength}$

$\frac{f'}{f} = \frac{v'}{v}$

The beat frequency heard when the two strings are sounded simultaneously is

$f_{beat} = f-f'$

$f_{beat} = f(1-\frac{f'}{f})$

$f_{beat} = f(1-\frac{v'}{v})$

We have the velocity of the transverse waves in stretched string as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{200N}{\mu}}$

And,

$v' = \sqrt{\frac{196N}{\mu}}$

Therefore the relation between the two is,

$\frac{v'}{v} = \sqrt{\frac{192}{200}}$

$\frac{v'}{v} = \sqrt{0.96}$

Finally substituting this value at the frequency beat equation we have

$f_{beat} = 590(1-\sqrt{0-96})$

$f_{beat} = 11.92Hz$

Therefore the beats per second are 11.92Hz

Why are images reflected from a rough surface not as clear as those reflected from a smooth

ioda

Answer:

Just as images are reflected from the surface of a mirror, light reflected from a smooth water surface also produced a clear image. ... Consequently, the outgoing rays are reflected at many different angles and the image is disrupted. Reflection from such a rough surface is called diffuse reflection and appears matte.

an experiment is set up to measure the effect of a gasoline additive on fuel consumption rate. what would be the control in this

Tamiku [17]

The control setup in this experiment would be one tank that does not contain any of the additives. Since the tanks with the gasoline additives would need to be compared with a tank that is not affected by the results of these additives.

Explain the difference between evaporation and boiling

azamat

Well evaporation is a gradual vaporization of a liquid on the surface whereas boiling is a rapid vaporization of a liquid only when it is heated to its boiling point.
