Answer:

136.27 N

Explanation:

From the question,

The velocity of the pulse is given as

v = L/t................. Equation 1

Where v = velocity of the pulse, L = total length of the pulse, t = time.

Given: L = 4×2×6.48 (as the pulse makes four tips down and back) = 51.84 m, t = 0.877 s.

substitute into equation 1

v = 51.84/0.877

v = 59.11 m/s.

Using,

But,

v = √(T/m')................... Equation 2

Where T  tension in the cord, m' = mass per unit length of the cord.

make T the subject of the equation

T = v²m'.................... Equation 3

Given: v = 59.11 m/s, m' = 0.253/6.48 = 0.039 kg/m

Substitute into equation 3

T = 59.11²(0.039)

T = 136.27 N

Hence the tension in the cord = 136.27 N

Which of the following describes the principle of conservation of charge?
grigory [225]

Answer: The statement "The charge cannot be created or destroyed describes the principle of the conservation of charge".

Explanation:

According to the conservation of charge, the charge can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be transferred from one system to another.

In an isolated system, the total electric charge remains constant. The net quantity of electric  charge is always conserved in the universe.

Therefore, "the charge cannot be created or destroyed" describes the principle of the conservation of charge.

A circuit is built based on the circuit diagram shown. What is the current in the 50 Ω resistor
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

1.2 A

Explanation:

From the diagram attached, The three resistors are parallel because the each ends of the resistors are connected together. Since they are in parallel, the voltage across each resistor is the same. The voltage source connected in parallel to the resistors is 60 V. Therefore the voltage across the 50 Ω resistor is 60 V. Using ohm law:

Voltage (V) = Current (I) × Resistance (R)

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 60 V/ 50 Ω

I = 1.2 A

The current in the 50 Ω resistor is 1.2 A
