Answer:

Velocity of wave (V) = 5.2 × 10² m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Per unit length mass (U) = 4.80 × 10⁻³ kg/m

Tension (T)= 1,300 N

Find:

Velocity of wave (V)

Computation:

Velocity of wave (V) = √T / U

Velocity of wave (V) = √1300 / 4.80 × 10⁻³

Velocity of wave (V) = √ 270.84 × 10³

Velocity of wave (V) = 5.2 × 10² m/s

Describe three pieces of evidence that support the Big Bang theory
lisov135 [29]

Explanation :

According to astronomers, the whole universe is started with a giant explosion called as Big Bang. Big Bang theory shows that the universe is  extended from high density state.

There are some evidence for big bang as :

(1) There are some red shifts of different galaxies which means that the universe is expanding.  

(2) Due to the expanding of universe, some of the new elements are created like hydrogen, deuterium etc.

(3) Microwaves are detected by orbiting detectors.

All this parameters shows that big bang theory was correct.

A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.5 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 60 N. a. How much
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

a)1815Joules b) 185Joules

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that the extension of a material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically;

F = ke where;

F is the applied force

k is the elastic constant

e is the extension of the material

From the formula, k = F/e

F1/e1 = F2/e2

If a force of 60N causes an extension of 0.5m of the string from its equilibrium position, the elastic constant of the spring will be ;

k = 60/0.5

k = 120N/m

a) To get the work done in stretching the spring 5.5m from its position,

Work done by the spring = 1/2ke²

Given k = 120N/m, e = 5.5m

Work done = 1/2×120×5.5²

Work done = 60× 5.5²

Work done = 1815Joules

b) work done in compressing the spring 1.5m from its equilibrium position will be gotten using the same formula;

Work done = 1/2ke²

Work done =1/2× 120×1.5²

Works done = 60×1.5²

Work done = 135Joules

An open pipe of length 0.58 m vibrates in the third harmonic with a frequency of 939Hz. What is the speed of sound through the a
vaieri [72.5K]

363 m/s is the speed of sound through the air in the pipe.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The formula used to calculate the wavelength given as below,

      Wavelength (\lambda)=\frac{\text { wave velocity }(v)}{\text { frequency }(f)}

      v=\lambda \times f   --------> eq. 1

In power system, harmonics define by positive integers of the fundamental frequency. So the third order harmonic is a multiple of the third fundamental frequency. Each harmonic creates an additional node and an opposite node, as well as an additional half wave within the string.

If the number of waves in the circuit is known, the comparison between standing wavelength and circuit length can be calculated algebraically. The general expression for this given as,

         L=\frac{n \lambda}{2}

For first harmonic, n =1

         L=\frac{\lambda}{2}

For second harmonic, n =2

         L=\frac{2 \lambda}{2}=\lambda

For third harmonic, n =3

         L=\frac{3 \lambda}{2}

         \lambda=\frac{2 L}{3}   -------> eq. 2

Here given f = 939 Hz, L = 0.58 m...And, substitute eq 2 in eq 1 and values, we get

   v=\frac{2 \times 0.58 \times 989}{3}=\frac{1089.24}{3}=363.08 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}
