A string has an abrupt change in linear density at its midpoint so that the speed of a pulse on the left side is 2/3 of that on

the right side.
a. On which side is the linear density greater? Explain.
b. From which side would you start a pulse so that its reflection from the midpoint would not be inverted? Explain.

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Linear density is greater on the left side because the velocity of wave in a string is inversely proportional to the linear mass density of the string

b) We should start pulse from the left hand side so the reflected wave does not get inverted because the wave traveling from the denser to lighter medium gets reflected in the same phase.

A cat’s crinkle ball toy of mass 15g is thrown straight up with an initial speed of 3m/s . Assume in this problem that air drag
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

(a)0.0675  J

(b)0.0675 J

(c)0.0675 J

(d)0.0675 J

(e)-0.0675 J

(f)0.459 m

Explanation:

15g = 0.015 kg

(a) Kinetic energy as it leaves the hand

E_k = \frac{mv^2}{2} = \frac{0.015*3^2}{2} = 0.0675  J

(b) By the law of energy conservation, the work done by gravitational energy as it rises to its peak is the same as the kinetic energy as the ball leave the hand, which is 0.0675 J

(c) The change in potential energy would also be the same as 0.0675J in accordance with conservation law of energy.

(d) The gravitational energy at peak point would also be the same as 0.0675J

(e) In this case as the reference point is reversed, we would have to negate the original potential energy. So the potential energy as the ball leaves hand is -0.0675J

(f) Since at the maximum height the ball has potential energy of 0.0675J. This means:

mgh = 0.0675

0.015*9.81h = 0.0675

h = 0.459 m

The ball would reach a maximum height of 0.459 m

What part causes the disc brake caliper piston to retract when the brakes are released?
Orlov [11]
The part that causes the disc caliper piston to retract when the brakes are released is the square-cut O-ring.
The square cut seal is the most important part of a disc brake caliper, for keeping the brake behind the piston so that when you step on the brake pedal, it releases a pressure that applied to the piston which in return applies the pad to the rotor.

A rock is thrown vertically upward from some height above the ground. It rises to some maximum height and falls back to the grou
True [87]

Answer:

At the highest point the velocity is zero, the acceleration is directed downward.

Explanation:

This is a free-fall problem, in the case of something being thrown or dropped, the acceleration is equal to -gravity, so -9.80m/s^2. So, the acceleration is never 0 here.

I attached an image from my lecture today, I find it to be helpful. You can see that because of gravity the acceleration is pulled downwards.

At the highest point the velocity is 0, but it's changing direction and that's why there's still an acceleration there.

A flat loop of wire consisting of a single turn of cross-sectional area 8.00 cm2 is perpendicular to a magnetic field that incre
Evgen [1.6K]

Complete Question

A flat loop of wire consisting of a single turn of cross-sectional area 8.00 cm2 is perpendicular to a magnetic field that increases uniformly in magnitude from 0.500 T to 1.60 T in 0.99 s. What is the resulting induced current if the loop has a resistance of 1.20  \ \Omega

Answer:

The current is   I =  0.0007 41 \ A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  area is  A = 8.00 \ cm^2  = 8.0 *10^{-4} \  m^2

   The initial magnetic field at t_o = 0 \ seconds  is B_i = 0.500 \ T

   The magnetic field at t_1 = 0.99 \ seconds is  B_f  = 1.60 \ T

     The resistance is  R = 1.20  \ \Omega

Generally the induced emf is mathematically represented as

      \epsilon  =  A * \frac{B_f - B_i }{ t_f - t_o }

=>   \epsilon  =  8.0 *10^{-4} * \frac{1.60  - 0.500 }{ 0.99- 0  }

=>   \epsilon  = 0.000889 \ V

Generally the current induced is mathematically represented as

     I = \frac{\epsilon}{R }

=>  I = \frac{0.000889}{ 1.20 }  

=>  I =  0.0007 41 \ A
