Answer:

V=21V

Explanation:

In series combination current is same

I=2.6A

R2=8ohm

V2=2.6×8

V2=20.8

V2=21V

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity will be $g=5.718m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given length of pendulum l = 55 cm = 0.55 m

It is given that pendulum completed 100 swings in 145 sec

So time taken by pendulum for 1 swing $=\frac{145}{100}=1.45sec$

We have to find the acceleration due to gravity at that point

We know that time period of pendulum;um is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}$

So $1.45=2\times 3.14\times \sqrt{\frac{0.55}{g}}$

$\sqrt{\frac{0.55}{g}}=0.230$

Squaring both side

${\frac{0.3025}{g}}=0.0529$

$g=5.718m/sec^2$

So acceleration due to gravity will be $g=5.718m/sec^2$

A long string is pulled so that the tension in it increases by a factor of four. If the change in length is negligible, by what

rusak2 [61]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to wave velocity as a function of the tension and linear mass density. This is

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

Here

v = Wave speed

T = Tension

$\mu$ = Linear mass density

From this proportion we can realize that the speed of the wave is directly proportional to the square of the tension

$v \propto \sqrt{T}$

Therefore, if there is an increase in tension of 4, the velocity will increase the square root of that proportion

$v \propto \sqrt{4} = 2$

The factor that the wave speed change is 2.

A rowboat has a momentum of 241.5 kg*m/s. if the rowboat has a mass of 115kg, what its it's speed?

Lera25 [3.4K]

Momentum = mass*velocity(or speed)

241.5 kg*m/s = 115 kg * v
v = 241.5 kg*m/s / 115 kg = 2.10 m/s

An organ pipe open at both ends has two successive harmonics with frequencies of 220 Hz and 240 Hz. What is the length of the pi

Harman [31]

Answer:

The length is $l = 8.6 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The frequencies of the two successive harmonics are $f_1 = 220 \ Hz$ , $f_2 = 240 \ Hz$

The speed of sound in the air is $v_s = 343 \ m/s$

Generally the frequency of a given harmonic is mathematically represented as

$f_n = \frac{n v }{2l}$

Here n defines the position of the harmonics

Now since the position of both harmonic is not know but we know that they successive then we can represented them mathematically as

$220 = \frac{n v}{2l}$

and

$240 = \frac{(n+1) v}{2l}$

So

$\frac{(n + 1 ) v}{2l} - \frac{n v}{2l} = 240-220$

=> $\frac{v}{2l} = 20$

=> $l = 8.6 \ m$
