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

$T =1.5\mu N$

In a game of pool, the cue ball strikes another ball of the same mass and initially at rest. After the collision, the cue ball m

ikadub [295]

(a) $-39.4^{\circ}$

Let's take the initial direction (before the collision) of the cue ball has positive x-direction.

Along the y-direction, the total initial momentum is zero:

$p_y =0$

Therefore, since the total momentum must be conserved, it must be zero also after the collision. So we write:

$0 = m v_1 sin \phi_1 + m v_2 sin \phi_2 \\0 = m(4.60) sin (28^{\circ}) + m(3.40) sin \phi_2$

where

m is the mass of each ball

$v_1= 4.60 m/s$ is the velocity of the cue ball after the collision

$v_2 = 3.40 m/s$ is the velocity of the second ball after the collision

$\phi_1=28.0^{\circ}$ is the angle of the cue ball with the x-axis

$\phi_2$ is the angle of the second ball

Solving for $\phi_2$ , we find the angle between the direction of motion of the second ball and the original direction of motion:

$sin \phi_2 = -\frac{4.60 sin 28}{3.40}=-0.635\\\phi_2 = -39.4^{\circ}$

(b) 6.69 m/s

To find the original speed of the cue ball, we analyze the situation along the horizontal direction.

First, we calculate the total momentum along the x-direction after the collision, which is:

$p_x = m v_1 cos \phi_1 + m v_2 cos \phi_2 \\0 = m(4.60) cos (28^{\circ}) + m(3.40) cos (-39.4^{\circ})=6.69 m$

The initial total momentum along the x-direction as

$p_x = m u$

where

m is the mass of the cue ball

$u$ is the initial velocity of the cue ball

The momentum along this direction must be conserved, so we can equate the two expressions and find the value of u:

$mu = 6.69 m\\u = 6.69 m/s$

A gymnast is swinging on a high bar. The distance between his waist and the bar is 0.905 m, as the drawing shows. At the top of

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

5.959 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of gymnast

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

$h_i$ = Initial height

$h_f$ = Final height

From conservation of Energy

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh_f=\frac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh_i\\\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mg0=\frac{1}{2}m0^2+mgh_i\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh_i\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh_i}$

$h_i=2r$

$v=\sqrt{4gr}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{4\times 9.81\times 0.905}\\\Rightarrow v=5.959\ m/s$

Velocity of gymnast at bottom of swing is 5.959 m/s

If the 50-kg crate starts from rest and achieves a velocity of v = 4 m/s

Kay [80]

Answer:

P = 227 N

Explanation:

Assuming the crate is on horizontal ground and subject to a horizontal force.

F = ma

P - μmg = ma

P = m(a + μg)

P = m(v²/2s + μg)

P = 50(4²/(2(5))+ 0.3(9.8))

P = 227 N

An electric field is produced by the very long, uniformly charged rod drawn above. If the strength of the electric field is E1 a

Debora [2.8K]

Answer: hello the complete question is attached below

answer :

r2 = 4r1

Explanation:

Electric field strength = F / q

we will assume the rod has an infinite length

For an infinitely charged rod

E ∝ 1/ r

considering two electric fields E1 and E2 at two different locations as described in the question

E1/E2 = r1/r2 ----- ( 2 )

<u>Calculate for r2 when E2 = E1/4 </u>

back to equation 2

E1 / (E1/4) = r1 / r2

∴ r2 = 4r1

A bungee cord is 30m long and when stretched a distance x itexerts a restoring force of magnitude kx. Your father-in-law (mass95

madam [21]

Answer:

The distance the bungee cord that would be stretched 0.602 m, should be selected when pulled by a force of 380 N.

Explanation:

As from the given data

the length of the rope is given as l=30 m

the stretched length is given as l'=41m

the stretched length required is give as y=l'-l=41-30=11m

the mass is m=95 kg

the force is F=380 N

the gravitational acceleration is g=9.8 m/s2

The equation of k is given by equating the energy at the equilibrium point which is given as

$U_{potential}=U_{elastic}\\mgh=\dfrac{1}{2} k y^2\\k=\dfrac{2mgh}{y^2}$

Here

m=95 kg, g=9.8 m/s2, h=41 m, y=11 m so

$k=\dfrac{2mgh}{y^2}\\k=\dfrac{2\times 95\times 9.8\times 41}{11^2}\\k=630.92 N/m$

Now the force is

$F=kx\\$ or

$x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\$

So here F=380 N, k=630.92 N/m

$x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\x=\dfrac{380}{630.92}\\x=0.602 m$

So the distance is 0.602 m
