A string is attached to a vibrating machine that has a frequency of 120 Hz. The other end of the string is passed over a pulley

of negligible mass and friction and is attached to a weight hanger which holds a mass m=0.5kg. What is the tension in newtons?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

The frequency of vibration is 120Hz

The mass of object attached is 0.5kg.

We want to find the tension In the string

The tension in the string is the weight of the object, it is how much gravity is pulling the object to the centre of the earth

Using newton second law.

F_net = m•a_y

The body is not accelerating the y-direction, then, a_y = 0

F_net = 0

Force acting on the string is the weight of the object and the tension in the string

T - W = 0

T = W

Where weight is mass × gravity

W = mg

Then,

T = W = mg

T = mg = 0.5 × 9.81

T = 4.905 N

The tension in the string is 4.905 N

(a) a light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.15 m/s2. how long does it take it to reach its top speed of 80.0 km/h
snow_lady [41]
A = 1.15m/s2, Vf = 80.0km/h --> we need it in m/s, so:
Vf = 80km/h × 1000m/1km × 1h/3600s
= 22.22m/s
Top speed = Vf, initial speed = Vi
time (t) = V(Vf-Vi) ÷ a
t = (22.22-0)m/s ÷ 1.15m/s2
t = 22.22m/s × s2/1.15m
= 19.32 seconds

aniked [119]

Ike is at the beach watching the waves in the ocean. Ike notices that some of the waves are short. Other waves are very tall and come up high above the water. Two waves that are different heights because They have different amplitudes.

Answer: Option (D) is correct

Explanation:

The different heights of the waves are due to their different amplitudes. The Amplitude of a particular wave depends upon the amount of energy being carried by waves. It the waves carry more energy than their amplitude will be higher.

But if energy carried by a wave is less than the wave will have a low amplitude. The Amplitude shows the distance covered from the rest position to peak position.
