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

If an automobile had a 100%-efficient engine, transferring all of the fuel's energy to work, would the engine be warm to your to
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The engine would be warm to touch, and the exhaust gases would be at ambient temperature. The engine would not vibrate nor make any noise. None of the fuel entering the engine would go unused.

Explanation:

In this ideal engine, none of these events would happen due to the nature of the efficiency.

We can define efficiency as the ratio between the used energy and the potential generable energy in the fuel.

n=W, total/(E, available).

However, in real engines the energy generated in the combustion of the fuel transforms into heat (which heates the exhost gases, and the engine therefore transfering some of this heat to the environment). Also, there are some mechanical energy loss due to vibrations and sound, which are also energy that comes from the fuel combustion.

Is being social media famous worth real-life relationships?
Maru [420]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Social media fame isnt worth it, because youre not really able to connect with people. Real life relationships with friends, family, and everything else is way more important. having people notice you or be attracted to you through the internet is nothing compared to real life social interactions. Dont leave people just to be online, youre going to regret it.

Which value is represented by the slope of the line?
netineya [11]

The slope of the line is

(change in ' y ' between the ends)  /  (change in ' x ' between the ends)

Slope = (630g - 0) / (70 cm^3 - 0)

Slope = (630 / 70) g/cm^3

<em>Slope =  9.0 g/cm^3</em>

Match the property of a sound wave to the correct definition. A. amplitude . B. frequency  . C. period . D. pitch  E. loudness 
Maru [420]

Amplitude: How dense the medium is in the compression part of the wave, and how empty the rarefied area is.

Frequency: The number of wavelengths that pass a position in 1 second.

loudness: The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the amplitude of the sound wave.

Period: The amount of time that it takes one wavelength to pass by a position.

Pitch: The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the frequency of the sound wave.
