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

Astronomy can best be described as a/an
Alchen [17]
<span>Astronomy is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena. More generally, all astronomical phenomena that originate outside Earth's atmosphere are within the purview of astronomy. Therefore, the correct answer to the question "Astronomy can best be described as a/an" is "study of objects beyond the Earth's atmosphere."</span>

The stopwatch used by a student to measure velocity of a pulse in a slinky was of least count 0.1 second. He stops the stopwatch
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Least count of the pulse stopwatch is given by

\Delta t = 0.1 s

this means each division of the stopwatch will measure 0.1 s of time

After 3 journeys from one end to other we can see that total time that is measured here is shown by the clock as 52nd division

So here total time is given as

Time = (Number of division) (Least count)

now we will have

T = 52 \times 0.1s

T = 5.2 s
