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 the work done to stretch an ideal spring by 4.0 cm is 6.0 j, what is the spring constant (force constant) of this spring?
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The spring constant is 3750 N/m  

Explanation:

Use the following two relationships:

(Work) = (Force) x (Displacement)

(Force) = (Spring constant) x (Displacement)

=>

(Spring constant) = (Force) / (Displacement) = (Work) / (Displacement)^2

(Spring constant) = 6.0 kg.(m^2/s^2) / 0.0016 m^2 = 3750 N/m

The spring constant is 3750 N/m

Identify the independent, dependent, and constant variables for different experiments.
diamong [38]

ANSWER:

IV, Type of dish detergent. DV, height of foam. CV, type of container, amount of water in container, temperature of water, time the container is agitated.

Explanation:

Independent variable(IV)- what you change during the experiment.

dependent variable(DV)- what you're measuring during an experiment. The dependent variable is DEPENDENT because it's results DEPEND on the independent variable at play.

Constant variables(CV)- things that do not change in order to isolate the tested variables as much as possible.

3. What is the potential energy of a 8 Newton book sitting on a shelf that is 12 meters high?​
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

P = 96 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the book, W = mg = 8 N

It is placed at a height of 12 m

We need to find the potential energy of the book. The potential energy of an object is given by the formula as follows :

E = mgh

mg = Weight

E=8\ N\times 12\ m\\E=96\ J

So, the potential energy of the book is 96 J.

1.In one challenge on the Titan Games, competitors have to lift 200 pounds up a long ramp. Angel is able to move the weight in 4
77julia77 [94]

#1).  Anthony does the same amount of work as Angel, with <em>more power</em>.

#2). Power = (Work)/(Time) = 41,000 J / 500 s  =  <em>82 watts .</em>

#3). Power = (Work) / (Time) = 83 J / 3 sec = <em>27.7 watts</em>
