Answer:

The tension in the string is T = 1.49*10^{-6}N.

Explanation:

For a string with tension T and linear density \mu_d carrying a transverse wave at speed v it is true that

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu_d} }

solving for T we get:

T = \dfrac{v^2}{\mu_d}.

Now, the transverse wave covers the distance of 7.4mm in 0.88s, which means it's speed is

v =\dfrac{7.4*10^{-3}m}{0.88s} \\\\v = 8.4*10^{-3}s

And it's linear density (mass per unit length) is

\mu_d = \dfrac{0.35kg}{7.4*10^{-3}m} \\\\\mu_d = 47.3kg/m

Therefore, the tension in the cord is

T = \dfrac{(8.4*10^{-3}m/s^2)^2}{47.3kg/m}.

\boxed{T = 1.5*10^{-6}N}

or in micro newtons

T =1.5\mu N

A soccer player carries the ball for a distance of 40.0 m in the direction 42.0° west of south. find the westward component of t
Maksim231197 [3]

Actually what the problem meant about the westward component of the ball’s displacement is the horizontal component of the displacement. To help us better understand the problem, I attached a figure of the situation.

We can see from the figure that to solve for the value of the horizontal component, we have to make use of the sin function. That is:

sin θ = side opposite to the angle / hypotenuse of the triangle

sin 42 = x / 40 m

x = (40 m) sin 42

x = 26.77 m

 

Therefore the ball has a westward displacement of about 26.77 m

Two long, straight wires are parallel and 26 cm apart.
mezya [45]

Answer: 2.49×10^-3 N/m

Explanation: The force per unit length that two wires exerts on each other is defined by the formula below

F/L = (u×i1×i2) / (2πr)

Where F/L = force per meter

u = permeability of free space = 1.256×10^-6 mkg/s^2A^2

i1 = current on first wire = 57A

i2 = current on second wire = 57 A

r = distance between both wires = 26cm = 0.26m

By substituting the parameters, we have that

Force per meter = (1.256×10^-6×57×57)/ 2×3.142 ×0.26

= 4080.744×10^-6/ 1.634

= 4.080×10^-3 / 1.634

= 2.49×10^-3 N/m

The average human has a density of 945 kg/m3 after inhalation, and 1020 kg/m3 after exhalation. Fresh water has a density of 100
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

a. The human body has nearly the same density as salt water after exhaling.

b. The human body will always float in the Dead Sea.

Explanation:

According to the concept of floating on the basis of  density, any body that is put in a fluid of density greater than its own density will always float due to the force of buoyancy from the liquid.

  • The portion of the object submerged  while the object is floating depends upon the density of the object as compared to the density of the fluid. This is governed by the equation:

\rho_f.V_s=\rho_o.V_o

where:

\rho_f= density of the fluid

\rho_o= density of the object

V_s= volume of the object submerged in the fluid

V_o= total volume of the object
