A steel cable has a cross-sectional area 4.49 × 10^-3 m^2 and is kept under a tension of 2.96 × 10^4 N. The density of steel is

7860 kg/m^3. Note that this value is not the linear density of the cable. At what speed does a transverse wave move along the cable?

Answer:

The transverse wave will travel with a speed of 25.5 m/s along the cable.

Explanation:

let T = 2.96×10^4 N be the tension in in the steel cable, ρ  = 7860 kg/m^3 is the density of the steel and A = 4.49×10^-3 m^2 be the cross-sectional area of the cable.

then, if V is the volume of the cable:

ρ = m/V

m = ρ×V

but V = A×L , where L is the length of the cable.

m = ρ×(A×L)

m/L = ρ×A

then the speed of the wave in the cable is given by:

v = √(T×L/m)

  = √(T/A×ρ)

  = √[2.96×10^4/(4.49×10^-3×7860)]

  = 25.5 m/s

Therefore, the transverse wave will travel with a speed of 25.5 m/s along the cable.

Answer:

The acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship during launch is 282652.782 meters per square second.

Explanation:

Let suppose that spaceship is accelerated uniformly. A yard equals 0.914 meters. A feet equals 0.304 meters. If air viscosity and friction can be neglected, then acceleration (a), measured in meters per square second, is estimated by this kinematic formula:

a = \frac{v^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot \Delta s } (1)

Where:

\Delta s - Travelled distance, measured in meters.

v_{o}, v - Initial and final speeds of the spaceship, measured in meters.

If we know that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, v = 10968\,\frac{m}{s} and \Delta s = 212.8\,m, then the acceleration experimented by the spaceship is:

a = \frac{\left(10968\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot (212.8\,m)}

a = 282652.782\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship during launch is 282652.782 meters per square second.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

A chair at rest on the floor has two forces acting on it its own weight that pulls it downward and the floor pushing upward on the chair, both of these forces are acting on it but the net force is 0, so the chair remains at rest and its velocity stays at 0.

two electronics students are discussing electrical units. student A says that electrical power is measured in units coulombs, st
Savatey [412]
The statements of both students are incorrect.

-- Electrical power, just like mechanical power, is expressed in units of watts.
-- 'Coulomb' is the unit of electrical charge.
-- '400 k ohms'  means 400,000 ohms of resistance.
-- 'Volt' is the unit of electromotive force (or potential difference).

There are no 'following statements'.

All in all, a very disappointing question.
