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.

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

In a 49 s interval, 595 hailstones strike a glass window of an area of 0.954 m at an angle of 25° to the window surface. Each ha
eduard

Average  force on the window: 0.32 N

Explanation:

The average force exerted on the window is given by Newton's second law

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta p is the net change in momentum of the hailstones in a time interval of \Delta t

In order to find the change in momentum, we have to consider only the component of the hailstone's momentum perpendicular to the window, therefore:

p_i =m u sin \theta is the initial momentum of one hailstone, with

m = 7 g = 0.007 kg is the mass

u=4.5 m/s is the initial speed

\theta=25^{\circ} is the angle with the window

The final momentum is

p_f = mv sin \theta

where

v = 4.5 m/s is the final speed (the  collision is elastic so the speed is equal, while the direction changes)

\theta=-25^{\circ} (after the rebound, the direction has changed)

So the change in momentum of 1 hailstone is

\Delta p = mv sin(-25^{\circ})-mu sin(25^{\circ})=-2mu sin(25^{\circ})=-0.0266 kg m/s

We are interested only in the magnitude, so

\Delta p = 0.0266 kg m/s

There are 595 hailstones hitting the window in 49 s, so the total change in momentum is

\Delta p = 595\cdot 0.0266 = 15.8 kg m/s

And therefore, the average force on the window is

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{15.8}{49}=0.32 N

saveliy_v [14]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Magnetic field,B=0.6\times 10^{-4} T

\theta=75^{\circ}

Length of wire,l=15 m

Current,I=19 A

a.We have to find the magnitude of magnetic force and direction of magnetic force.

Magnetic force,F=IBlsin\theta

Using the formula

F=0.6\times 10^{-4}\times 15\times 19sin75

F=16.5\times 10^{-3} N

Direction=tan\theta=cot(90-75)=tan15^{\circ}

\theta=15^{\circ}

15 degree above the horizontal  in the northward direction.

Do balanced forces change an objects motion
meriva

If the group of all forces acting on an object is balanced,
then the effect of all of them is the same as if there were
no forces at all on the object.  In that case, the object
continues moving in a straight line at a constant speed.

Bill and Ted are standing on a bridge 40 ft above a river. Bill drops a stone, while Ted decides to throw a stone downward at 10
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

In order to know how long after Bill released his rock should Ted throw his if they want the stones to hit the water simultanously, we need to calculate the time needed to hit the water to both rocks independent each other, and just take the difference.

For the rock dropped by Bill, as the only influence on it is gravity (accelerating it downwards with an acceleration equal to g), and v₀ =0, we can use the following kinematic equation:

y = \frac{1}{2} * g * t^{2}

where y = height = 40 ft.

As all the parameters are given in SI units, it is  advisable to convert this value to m, as follows:

y = 40 ft*\frac{0.3048m}{1 ft} = 12.2 m

Now, we can solve for t, as follows:

t = \sqrt{\frac{2*y}{g}} =  \sqrt{\frac{2*12.2m}{9.8m/s2}} = 1.58 s

For the rock thrown down at 10 m/s, the kinematic equation we just have used becomes:

y = v0*t +\frac{1}{2} * g * t^{2}

This leaves us a quadratic equation on t, as follows:

t = \frac{-10m/s}{9.8m/s2} +/- \sqrt{10m/s^{2} -4*4.9m/s2*(-12.2m)} = -1.02 s +/- 1.88s

Taking the positive root, we have:

t = -1.02 s + 1.88 s = 0.86 s

So, in order to get that both rocks hit the water at the same time, Ted will need to wait the difference between both times:

Δt = 0.86 s - 1.58s = -0.72 s
