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

A professor determined the relationship between the time spent studying (in hours) and performance on an exam.
lubasha [3.4K]
Lets write again formula for determening Ann's performance.

P = 70.443 + 4,885*t

where t is in hours. This is equation with P(t) which means that P only depends on variable t. If we express t=2.6 in formula we will find her expected performance.

P = 83.144

Now, since it says that she scored 16 points less than expected we need to find value of P-16

P - 16 = 67.144

After round we get that the answer is 67

Describe two ways to change the frictional force between two solid surfaces.
Tanya [424]
<span>There are several ways to change the frictional force between two objects. The first one is to modify the surfaces of each object that will come in contact with each other. The smoother they get, the less friction there will be. But if the surfaces become rougher, more friction will be generated. If you don’t want to alter the surfaces, you can simply add lubrication to reduce friction.</span>

List the three types of symbiotic relationships. For each type of symbiotic relationship, explain how the two organisms are affe
Virty [35]
<span>The three major types of symbiosis are mutualism, where both species benefit, commensalism, where one species benefits and the other is unaffected, and parasitism, where one species benefits and the other is harmed. Symbiotic relationships can occur within an organism's body or outside of it.                                                                                                                                                                              </span><span>Examples of mutualism include the relationship between single-celled organisms or animals that incorporate algae into their bodies. They give the algae necessary nutrients, and in return receive chemical energy from the photosynthetic algae. Animals that have this sort of relationship include some sponges, sea anemones and clams. Examples of commensalism include remora fish attaching to the bodies of sharks and eating scraps of food that escape their jaws, and barnacles living on the jaws of whales with a similar feeding strategy. Plants have commensal relationships as well, such as many orchids that grow on taller plants and benefit from the additional sunlight they obtain, without actually stealing nutrients from the host plant. Parasitic relationships are many, and parasites include all disease-causing organisms. This category also includes insects such as fleas that suck the blood of hosts externally. Parasitism is a very efficient strategy for organisms, and parasites often lose many of the features of non-parasitic life forms, instead relying on their hosts for many of the functions of life.</span>
