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.

Levart [38]
<span>The apartment’s explosion, reportedly caused by a gas leak, produced a violent release of gas and heat. the heat increased the temperature of the air in the room, which means an increase in the air's molecular kinetic energy.

When heat leaves a system, that energy is transferred to its surroundings. Since the air is the surroundings, the heat is transferred to the air increasing the temperature. This causes an increase in the individual air molecules' energy.</span>

Someone please help with these 2
Ann [662]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula that you are working with is F = m*a

Since mass is one part of the formula if you increase the mass, you are going to increase the force.

The second one is much more difficult to answer because it is basically incomplete. This is one way to interpret it. If you start at a certain speed and increase during a known time period then effectively you are defining acceleration which is "a" in the formula.

Without those modifications, there is no answer.

Which of the following terms is given to a pair of stars that appear to change position in the sky, indicating that they are orb
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

The correct answer is option A

The binary star system is the system in which two stars are continuously orbiting each other,

In the eclipsing binary system, two stars revolve about there center of mass and in this system one one-star eclipse another star.

Spectroscopic binary stars are found from the observation of radial velocity and the brighter member of such binary can be seen to have continuously changed the wavelength and periodic velocity.

When the pairs of stars appear to change position in the sky then it is known as visual binary.

romanna [79]

Answer:

a chemical reaction where electrons mix.

Explanation:

A nuclear reaction is when atomic nuclei combine, forming a new chemical element

A chemical reaction occurs when electrons from the last layer of atoms mix, forming molecules that have the same chemical elements as the reactants.

According to these definitions

           C + 2 S → CS2

in a chemical reaction where electrons mix.
