A phone cord is 2.89 m long. The cord has a mass of 0.258 kg. A transverse wave pulse is produced by plucking one end of the tau

tcord. The pulse makes four trips down and back along the cord in 0.737 s. What is the tension in the cord

Answer:

$T =87.87\ N$

Explanation:

Given,

Length , l=2.89 m

Mass , M=0.258 Kg

Now, displacement $d=4(2 \times 2.89) m$

$=23.12 m$

Velocity of waves

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

$\mu=\frac{0.258}{2.89 }$

$=0.0893$

Now, velocity, $v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{23.12}{0.737 s}$

$=31.37 m/s$

The tension

$T=v^{2} \mu=31.37 \times 31.37 \times 0.0893$

$T =87.87\ N$

Tension in the chord is equal to $T =87.87\ N$

Answer:

It remains the same

Explanation:

It remains the same. This is because the number of protons doesn't change and the number of protons determines the atomic number.

You push your couch a distance of 3.9 m across the living room floor with a horizontal force of 220.0 n. the force of friction i

Mrac [35]

The general formula to calculate the work is:

$W=Fd \cos \theta$

where F is the force, d is the displacement of the couch, and $\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement. Let's apply this formula to the different parts of the problem.

(a) Work done by you: in this case, the force applied is parallel to the displacement of the couch, so $\theta=0^{\circ}$ and $\cos \theta=1$ , therefore the work is just equal to the product between the horizontal force you apply to push the couch and the distance the couch has been moved:

$W=Fd=(220.0 N)(3.9 m)=858 J$

(b) work done by the frictional force: the frictional force has opposite direction to the displacement, therefore $\theta=180^{\circ}$ and $\cos \theta=-1$ . Therefore, we must include a negative sign when we calculate the work done by the frictional force:

$W=-Fd=-(144.0 N)(3.9 m)=-561.6 J$

(c) The work done by gravity is zero. In fact, gravity (which points downwards) is perpendicular to the displacement of the couch (which is horizontal), therefore $\theta=90^{\circ}$ and $\cos \theta=0$ : this means

$W=0$ .

(d) Work done by the net force:

The net force is the difference between the horizontal force applied by you and the frictional force:

$F=220 N-144 N=76 N$

And the net force is in the same direction of the displacement, so $\theta=0^{\circ}$ and $\cos \theta=1$ and the work done is

$W=Fd=(76 N)(3.9 m)=296.4 J$

A photon detector captures a photon with an energy of 4.29 ✕ 10−19 J. What is the wavelength, in nanometers, of the photon?

serious [3.7K]

Answer : The wavelength of photon is, $4.63\times 10^{2}nm$

Explanation : Given,

Energy of photon = $4.29\times 10^{-19}J$

Formula used :

$E=h\times \nu$

As, $\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

So, $E=h\times \frac{c}{\lambda}$

where,

$\nu$ = frequency of photon

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

$\lambda$ = wavelength of photon = ?

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$4.29\times 10^{-19}J=(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times \frac{(3\times 10^{8}m/s)}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=4.63\times 10^{-7}m=4.63\times 10^{-7}\times 10^9nm=4.63\times 10^{2}nm$

Conversion used : $1nm=10^{-9}m$

Therefore, the wavelength of photon is, $4.63\times 10^{2}nm$
