A stretched string is 2.11 m long and has a mass of 19.5 g. When the string oscillates at 440 Hz , which is the frequency of the

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The tension of the string is 41.876 N

Explanation:

Given;

length of the string, L = 2.11 m

mass of the string, m = 19.5 g = 0.0195 kg

frequency of the wave, f = 440 Hz

wavelength, λ = 15.3 cm = 0.153 m

The velocity of the wave is given by;

v = fλ

v = 440 x 0.153

v = 67.32 m/s

Also the velocity of the wave is given by

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

where;

μ is mass per unit length = 0.0195 / 2.11 = 0.00924 kg/m

T is the tension of the string

T = v²μ

T = (67.32)²(0.00924)

T = 41.876 N

Therefore, the tension of the string is 41.876 N

If you are in a spaceship that is sitting on the surface of a planet, you feel your weight. How does this compare to the weight

nordsb [41]

Answer:

You will feel more weight if it is accelerating out of the planet.

You will feel less weight if it is accelerating towards the planet.

Explanation:

The weight that you are observing or feeling is basically due to the change in acceleration of your fall or rising up in the spaceship. When the acceleration is stationary on the surface, you experience your normal weight due to the gravitational acceleration of that planet.

When the spaceship accelerates above or out of the planet you experience acceleration more than the acceleration of gravity hence more weight.

When the spaceship accelerates towards the planet you experience acceleration less than the acceleration of gravity hence less weight.

If the spaceship is free falling at the gravitational acceleration you experience a zero weight

Pilots often take advantage of the ____,which are highly-speed winds between 7km and 16 km above earths surface.

lukranit [14]

I believe it is called or referred to as the "Jet Stream". During World War II, allied pilots encountered high speed winds in the upper air. They named those winds after the fastest planes they came up against: fighters equipped with jet engines! Jet stream winds in winter time can reach up to 300 MPH as well!

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP I REALLY NEED HELP!!!!!!

Andrews [41]

Answer:

In thermodynamics, heat is transferred energy that moves between substances or systems because of their temperature difference. According to the first law of thermodynamic and the law of energy conversion s a form of energy, heat is cannot be created or destroyed only moves from one form to other.

The stone gets heat energy from fire and moves this heat energy or thermal energy to water as it cools off and the water warms up. Heat moves or is transferred spontaneously from the hot stone into the cold water. Eventually, the stone and water have the same temperature and water becomes heated. At the time of heat flowing out of the stone into the water, the heat energy became less ordered, due to spreading out through both the stone and the water. This is a net increase in entropy which is the second law of entropy.

Quickly spinning the handle of a hand generator, Kristina is able to light three bulbs in a circuit. When she spins the generato

erastova [34]

Answer:

Voltage is too low

Explanation:

Generators produce a potential difference (voltage) by spinning a coil of wire in a magnetic field by induction.

The produced voltage is proportional to the relative speed of the coil wire with respect to the magnetic field.

Hence, for a given generator, the higher the speed the higher the potential difference.

Therefore, it is concluded immediately that when Kristina spins the generator slowly, less potential difference (voltage) is generated.

Also, you must know that the brightness of the bulbs varies with the current: the higher the current, the brigther the bulbs.

On the other hand, the basic realtion between voltage (V), resistance (R), and current I) is given by Ohm's law: V = R × I. This is, voltage and current are proportional.

Since the generator is producting less voltage, for the same bulbs (which are resistors) , the current will be lower too. And, as stated, lower current means lower brightness, which explains why when Kristina spins the generator slowly, the bulbs are very dim.
