Two wires are parallel and one is directly above the other. Each has a length of 50.0 m and a mass per unit length of 0.020 kg/m

. However, the tension in the wire A is 5.70 102 N, and the tension in the wire B is 2.50 102 N. Transverse wave pulses are generated simultaneously, one at the left end of wire A and one at the right end of wire B. The pulses travel toward each other. How much time does it take until the pulses pass each other

Answer:

t = the time required for the waves to pass each other = 0.178s

Explanation:

For Wire A: Ta = 5.70×10² N, μa = μb = 0.02kg/m, La = 50m

For Wire B: Tb = 2.50×10² N, μa = μb = 0.02kg/m, Lb = 50m

Let the time required to elapse before both waves pass each other be t.

First let us calculate the speed of the wave in both wires.

V = :√(T/μ)

Wire A: Va = √(Ta/μa) = √(5.70×10²/0.02)

Va = 169m/s

Wire B: Vb = √(Tb/μb) = √(2.50×10²/0.02)

Va = 112m/s

At time t has elapsed, the wave in Wire A would have traveled a distance

xa = Va ×t = 169t

And the wave in Wire B would have traveled a distance

xb = Vb ×t = 112t

Since both waves are traveling along equal lengths but in opposite directions. At time t the wave in A has traveled a distance xa. At this same time the wave in B has traveled a distance xa in the opposite direction. This distance xb is equal to the distance wave A still has to travel to the other end of the of wire A. This distance is equal to 50 – xa. So

xb = 50 – xb

112t = 50 – 169t

112t + 169t = 50

281t = 50

t = 50/281= 0.178s

t = the time required for the waves to pass each other = 0.178s

Answer: The time required for the impluse passing through each other is approximately 0.18seconds

Explanation:

Given:

Length,L = 50m

M/L = 0.020kg/m

FA = 5.7×10^2N

FB = 2.5×10^2N

The sum of distance travelled by each pulse must be 50m since each pulse started from opposite ends.

Ca(t) + CB(t) = 50

Where CA and CB are the velocities of the wire A and B

t = 50/ (CA + CB)

But C = Sqrt(FL/M)

Substituting gives:

t = 50/ (Sqrt( FAL/M) + Sqrt(FBL/M))

t = 50/(Sqrt 5.7×10^2/0.02) + (Sqrt(2.5×10^2/0.02))

t = 50 / (168.62 + 111.83)

t = 50/280.15

t = 0.18 seconds

A bowling ball of mass 5 kg rolls down a slick ramp 20 meters long at a 30 degree angle to the horizontal. What is the work done
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The work done by gravity during the roll is 490.6 J

Explanation:

The work (W) is:

W = F*d

<em>Where</em>:

F: is the force

d: is the displacement = 20 m

The force is equal to the weight (W) in the x component:

F = W_{x} = mgsin(\theta)

<em>Where:</em>

m: is the mass of the bowling ball = 5 kg

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²    

θ: is the degree angle to the horizontal = 30°        

F = mgsin(\theta) = 5 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*sin(30) = 24.53 N    

Now, we can find the work:

W = F*d = 24.53 N*20 m = 490.6 J      

Therefore, the work done by gravity during the roll is 490.6 J.

I hope it helps you!

a bus is moving at 22m/s [E] for 12s. Then the bus driver slows down at 1.2m/s2 [W] until the bus stops. Determine the total dis
KatRina [158]
The total displacement is equal to the total distance. For the east or E direction, the distance is determined using the equation:

d = vt = (22 m/s)(12 s) = 264 m

For the west or W direction, we use the equations:
a = (v - v₀)/t
d = v₀t + 0.5at²

Because the object slows down, the acceleration is negative. So,
-1.2 m/s² = (0 m/s - 22 m/s)/t
t = 18.33 seconds
d = (22 m/s)(18.33 s) + 0.5(-1.2 m/s²)(18.33 s)²
d = 201.67 m

Thus,
Total Displacement = 264 m +  201.67 m = 465.67 or  approximately 4.7×10² m.
