If the tension in a rope is increased, what will happen to the speed of a wave traveling through the rope?
2 answers:
Answer:
The speed will increase.
Explanation:
Wave velocity in a rope can be discribed as :
,
where is the velocity,
is the tension and,
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.

Answer:
Half as large.
Explanation:
Using Newton's law of universal gravitation, if the mass of the planet is <em>M</em> and of the Moons 1 and 2 is <em>m</em>, them the force exerted by the planet on them will be:
Which clearly shows that the force that the planet exerts on the Moon 2 is half the force it exerts on the Moon 1.
Answer:
Having a bigger angle above the horizontal
Explanation:
Applying the energy conservation theorem:
The kinetic energy is reduced because of the work done by the friction force.
The friction force is given by:
so the friction force depends on the Normal force, because the slide has an angle the normal force is given by:
So when the angle of the slide is bigger, the friction force decreases, for example:
for 45 degrees:
for 75 degrees:
as you can see if the angle is bigger above the horizontal, the friction force is reduced and so the work done by that force. We didn't have to change the height of the slide, so the potential gravitational energy remains the same.
