A phone cord is 6.48 m long. The cord has a mass of 0.253 kg. A transverse wave pulse is produced by plucking one end of the tau

t cord. The pulse makes four trips down and back along the cord in 0.877 s. What is the tension in the cord

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

On a horizontal surface is located
Ierofanga [76]

By Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on the object is 0, so that

<em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0

where <em>n</em> = magnitude of the normal force of the surface pushing up on the object, and <em>w</em> = weight of the object. Hence <em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = <em>mg</em> = 196 N, where <em>m</em> = 20 kg and <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s².

The force of static friction exerts up to 80 N on the object, since that's the minimum required force needed to get it moving, which means the coefficient of <u>static</u> friction <em>µ</em> is such that

80 N = <em>µ</em> (196 N)   →   <em>µ</em> = (80 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.408

Moving at constant speed, there is a kinetic friction force of 40 N opposing the object's motion, so that the coefficient of <u>kinetic</u> friction <em>ν</em> is

40 N = <em>ν</em> (196 N)   →   <em>ν</em> = (40 N)/(196 N) ≈ 0.204

And so the closest answer is C.

(Note: <em>µ</em> and <em>ν</em> are the Greek letters mu and nu)

Positive charge Q is placed on a conducting spherical shell with inner radius R1 and outer radius R2. The electric field at a po
gregori [183]

Answer:

E = 0    r <R₁

Explanation:

If we use Gauss's law

      Ф = ∫ E. dA = q_{int} / ε₀

in this case the charge is distributed throughout the spherical shell and as we are asked for the field for a radius smaller than the radius of the spherical shell, therefore, THERE ARE NO CHARGES INSIDE this surface.

Consequently by Gauss's law the electric field is ZERO

           E = 0    r <R₁
