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

Describe a well-known hypothesis that was discarded because it was found to be untrue.earth-centered model of the universe. the
polet [3.4K]
The widely accepted hypothesis before that turned out wrong was the Earth-Centered theory or the Geocentric Theory. This was proposed by the philosopher Ptolemy. He came about to this hypothesis from hi observation that from the Earth's perspective, the celestial bodies like the Sun, stars and the moon, look like they rotate around the Earth each day and night. However, this was disproved by Galileo Galelei by his Heliocentric Theory. He observed through the telescope that the Venus also changes phases like the moon. However, he deduced that this is not possible from the positions of the Venus, Earth, Moon and Sun.

Lacie kicks a football from ground level at a velocity of 13.9 m/s and at an angle of 25.0° to the ground. How long will the bal
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

T = 1.2 s

T = 15.1 m = 15 m

Explanation:

This is a case of projectile motion:

TOTAL TIME OF FLIGHT:

The formula for total time of flight in projectile motion is:

T = 2 V₀ Sinθ/g

where,

T = Total Time of Flight = ?

V₀ = Launch Speed = 13.9 m/s

θ = Launch Angle = 25°

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

T = (2)(13.9 m/s)(Sin 25°)/(9.8 m/s²)

<u>T = 1.2 s</u>

<u></u>

RANGE OF BALL:

The formula for range in projectile motion is:

R = V₀² Sin2θ/g

where,

R = Horizontal Distance Covered by ball = ?

Therefore,

T = (13.9 m/s)²(Sin 2*25°)/(9.8 m/s²)

<u>T = 15.1 m = 15 m</u>
