A wire is stretched between two posts. Another wire is stretched between two posts that are twice as far apart. The tension in t

he wires is the same, and they have the same mass. A transverse wave travels on the shorter wire with a speed of 249 m/s. What would be the speed of the wave on the longer wire?

Answer: 996m/s

Explanation:

Formula for calculating velocity of wave in a stretched string is

V = √T/M where;

V is the velocity of wave

T is tension

M is the mass per unit length of the wire(m/L)

Since the second wire is twice as far apart as the first, it will be L2 = 2L1

Let V1 and V2 be the speed of the shorter and longer wire respectively

V1 = √T/M1... 1

V2 = √T/M2... 2

Since V1 = 249m/s, M1 = m/L1 M2 = m/L2 = m/2L1

The equations will now become

249 = √T/(m/L1) ... 3

V2 = √T/(m/2L1)... 4

From 3,

249² = TL1/m...5

From 4,

V2²= 2TL1/m... 6

Dividing equation 5 by 6 we have;

249²/V2² = TL1/m×m/2TL1

{249/V2}² = 1/2

249/V2 = (1/2)²

249/V2 = 1/4

V2 = 249×4

V2 = 996m/s

Therefore the speed of the wave on the longer wire is 996m/s

Answer:

\vec{F}=(1.537*10^{-17}\hat{i}-9.61*10^{-19}\hat{j}-2.883*10^{-18}\hat{k})N

Explanation:

The total force on the particle is given by

\vec{F}=q\vec{v}\ X\ \vec{B}+q\vec{E}

Then, by replacing we have:

q\vec{v}\ X \vec{B}=q[7\hat{k}-9\hat{j}-\hat{k}]\\\\q\vec{E}=q[5\hat{i}-\hat{j}-2\hat{k}]\\\\\vec{F}=(9.61*10^{-19}C)[(7+9)\hat{i}+(-9-1)\hat{j}+(-1-2)\hat{k}]\\\\\vec{F}=(1.537*10^{-17}\hat{i}-9.61*10^{-19}\hat{j}-2.883*10^{-18}\hat{k})N

where the cross product can be made with the determinant method.

Hope this helps!!

If the primary of a transformer were connected to a dc power source,
QveST [7]

Answer:

D. only briefly while being connected or disconnected.

Explanation:

As we know that transformer works on the principle of mutual inductance

here we know that as per the principle of mutual inductance when flux linked with the primary coil charges then it will induce EMF in secondary coil

So here when AC source is connected with primary coil then it will give output across secondary coil because AC source will have change in flux with time.

Now when we connect DC source across primary coil then it will not induce any EMF across secondary coil because DC source is a constant voltage source in which flux will remain constant always

So here in DC source the EMF will only induce at the time of connection or disconnection when flux will change in it while rest of the time it will give ZERO output

so correct answer will be

D. only briefly while being connected or disconnected.

Why are the wires twisted around each other in twisted pair cable?
Goryan [66]

The wires are twisted around each other in a twisted pair cable for the purpose of blocking off any external electromagnetic interference.

A twisted-pair cable is a form of cable system used for telecom services as well as most current wired networks. Twisted pairs are composed of two insulated copper wires that are been twisted together. The circuit is formed by a twisted pair of wires that may carry data. These pairs are twisted to prevent interference or noise caused by neighboring pairs.
