Answer:

The speed will increase.

Explanation:

Wave velocity in a rope can be discribed as :

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho} }$ ,

where $v$ is the velocity, $T$ is the tension and, $\rho$ is the linear density of mass (this is mass over rope length).

As it can be seen from the formula, velocity is directly proportional to the tension, this means that if tension increase so it will the velocity.

"The speed will increase" is the one among the following choices given in the question that describes the speed of a wave traveling through the rope, if the tension in a rope is increased. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option. I hope that this is the answer that has come to your help.

Why is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge an ideal place for SWARM to collect electrical conductivity data?

ElenaW [278]

Answer: Mid-ocean ridges are geologically important because they occur along the kind of plate boundary where new ocean floor is created as the plates spread apart. Thus the mid-ocean ridge is also known as a "spreading center" or a "divergent plate boundary." The plates spread apart at rates of 1 cm to 20 cm per year.

In what subject could we see cross cutting concepts

meriva

A Framework for K–12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas (Framework) recommends science education in grades K–12 be built around three major dimensions: science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science and engineering through their common application across fields, and core ideas in the major disciplines of natural science.

A wheel rotating about a fixed axis with a constant angular acceleration of 2.0 rad/s2 starts from rest at t = 0. The wheel has

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The total linear acceleration is approximately 0.246 meters per square second.

Explanation:

The total linear acceleration ( $a$ ) consist in two components, radial ( $a_{r}$ ) and tangential ( $a_{t}$ ), in meters per square second:

$a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r$ (1)

$a_{t} = \alpha \cdot r$ (2)

Since both components are orthogonal to each other, the total linear acceleration is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

$a = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}}$ (3)

Where:

$r$ - Radius of the wheel, in meters.

$\omega$ - Angular speed, in radians per second.

$\alpha$ - Angular acceleration, in radians per square second.

Given that wheel accelerates uniformly, we use the following kinematic equation:

$\omega = \omega_{o}+ \alpha\cdot t$ (4)

Where:

$\omega_{o}$ - Initial angular speed, in radians per second.

$t$ - Time, in seconds.

If we know that $r = 0.1\,m$ , $\alpha = 2\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , $\omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$ and $t = 0.60\,s$ , then the total linear acceleration is:

$\omega = \omega_{o}+ \alpha\cdot t$

$\omega = 1.2\,\frac{rad}{s}$

$a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r$

$a_{r} = 0.144\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$a_{t} = \alpha \cdot r$

$a_{t} = 0.2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$a = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}}$

$a \approx 0.246\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

The total linear acceleration is approximately 0.246 meters per square second.

A bullet leaves a gun with a horizontal velocity of 100 m/s. Calculate the distance it would travel in 1.3 seconds.

salantis [7]

Answer:

130m

Explanation:

You just have to multiply velocity by the time traveled:

100m/s * 1.3s = 130m!

Refraction can occur only when light is

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

We have learned that refraction occurs as light passes across the boundary between two media. Refraction is merely one of several possible boundary behaviors by which a light wave could behave when it encounters a new medium or an obstacle in its path.
