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.

A uniform solid disk and a uniform ring are place side by side at the top of a rough incline of height h.

nadezda [96]

Explanation:

velocity of disc $=\sqrt((gh)/0.75)$

lets call (h) 1 m to make it simple.

= 3.614 m/s

$\sqrt((4/3) x 1 x 9.8) = 3.614$ m/s pointing towards this:

$4×V_d=\sqrt(4/3hg)$

$V_h=\sqrt(hg)$

velocity of hoop= $\sqrt(gh)$

lets call (h) 1m to make it simple again.

$\sqrt(9.8 x 1) = 3.13$ m/s

$\sqrt(gh) = sqrt(hg)so [tex]4×V_d= \sqrt(4/3hg)V_h=\sqrt(hg)$

The disc is the fastest.

While i'm on this subject i'll show you this:

Solid ball $=0.7v^2= gh$

solid disc $= 0.75v^2 = gh$

hoop $=v^2=gh$

The above is simplified from linear KE + rotational KE, the radius or mass makes no difference to the above formula.

The solid ball will be the faster of the 3, like above i'll show you.

solid ball: velocity $=\sqrt((gh)/0.7)$

let (h) be 1m again to compare.

$\sqrt((9.8 x 1)/0.7) = 3.741$ m/s

solid disk speed $=\sqrt((gh)/0.75)$

uniform hoop speed $=\sqrt(gh)$

solid sphere speed $=\sqrt((gh)/0.7)$

An air compressor and takes atmospheric Air at 14.7 PSI and increases its pressure to 150 psi ( Gauge). the pressurized air is s

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The absolute pressure of air inside the tank is 164.7 psi.

Explanation:

Given that,

Atmospheric pressure = 14.7 Psi

Gauge pressure = 150 psi

We need to calculate the absolute pressure of air inside the tank

Using formula of absolute pressure

$P_{ab}=P_{g}+P_{atm}$

Where, $P_{g}$ = gauge pressure

$P_{atm}$ =atmospheric pressure

Put the value into the formula

$P_{ab}=150+14.7$

$P_{ab}=164.7\ psi$

Hence, The absolute pressure of air inside the tank is 164.7 psi.

A car traveling at a speed of 30 m/s encounters an emergency and comes to a complete

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Use the one-dimensional equation

$v_f=v_0+at$ which says that the final velocity of an object is equal to the object's initial velocity plus its acceleration times time. We are looking for time. That means the equation looks like this:

0 = 30 + (-4)t and

-30 = -4t so

t = 7.5 sec

A bouncy ball is being thrown upwards with a velocity of 34 meters per second if you caught the ball at the same height you rele

Serga [27]

It took the ball 6.94 seconds to make the trip

Explanation:

A bouncy ball is being thrown upwards with a velocity of 34 meters per

second and you caught the ball at the same height you released it

1. The initial velocity of the ball is 34 m/s upward

2. The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s²

3. You caught the ball at the same height you released it

We need to find how long it takes the ball to make the trip

You caught the ball at the same height you released it, then

→ The displacement of the trip s = zero meter

→ The ball thrown upward with initial velocity u = 34 m/s

→ The acceleration of gravity g = -9.8 m/s²

→ s = u t + $\frac{1}{2}$ g t²

Substitute the values of u , g , s in the rules

→ 0 = 34 t + $\frac{1}{2}$ (-9.8) t²

→ 0 = 34 t - 4.9 t²

Multiply both sides by -1

→ 4.9 t² - 34 t = 0

Take t as common factor

→ t(4.9 t - 34) = 0

Equate each factor by 0

→ t = 0 ⇒ initial position

→ 4.9 t - 34 = 0

Add 34 to both sides

→ 4.9 t = 34

Divide both sides by 4.9

→ t = 6.94 seconds ⇒ final position

It took the ball 6.94 seconds to make the trip

Which of the following evidence changed the theory of plate tectonics? Age of rocks and mountains Fossils Magnetism Size and sha

ohaa [14]

Hello!

I believe the answer is ultimately Fossils, seeing how fossils from one edge of a continent could be found on the edge of another continent in which is theorized they were once bonded.

I hope this helps and I'd like a Brainliest if anyone else has answered. It's alright if not. Have a nice day. :)
