A 6.0 m wire with a mass of 50 g, is under tension. A transverse wave, for which the frequency is 810 Hz, the wavelength is 0.40

m, and the amplitude is 4.0 mm, is propagating on the wire. a) How long will it take for a crest of this wave to travel the length of the wire? b) What is the tension in the wire?

Answer:

a) t = 0.0185 s = 18.5 ms

b) T = 874.8 N

Explanation:

a)

First we find the seed of wave:

v = fλ

where,

v = speed of wave

f = frequency = 810 Hz

λ = wavelength = 0.4 m

Therefore,

v = (810 Hz)(0.4 m)

v = 324 m/s

Now,

v = L/t

where,

L = length of wire = 6 m

t = time taken by wave to travel length of wire

Therefore,

324 m/s = 6 m/t

t = (6 m)/(324 m/s)

<u>t = 0.0185 s = 18.5 ms</u>

<u></u>

b)

From the formula of fundamental frquency, we know that:

Fundamental Frequency = v/2L = (1/2L)(√T/μ)

v = √(T/μ)

where,

T = tension in string

μ = linear mass density of wire = m/L = 0.05 kg/6 m = 8.33 x 10⁻³ k gm⁻¹

Therefore,

324 m/s = √(T/8.33 x 10⁻³ k gm⁻¹)

(324 m/s)² = T/8.33 x 10⁻³ k gm⁻¹

<u>T = 874.8 N</u>

A block of mass 0.221 kg is placed on top of a light, vertical spring of force constant 5365 N/m and pushed downward so that the
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The maximum height above the point of release is 11.653 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block = 0.221 kg

Spring constant k = 5365 N/m

Distance x = 0.097 m

We need to calculate the height

Using stored energy in spring

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2...(I)

Using gravitational potential energy

U' =mgh....(II)

Using energy of conservation

E_{i}=E_{f}

U_{i}+U'_{i}=U_{f}+U'_{f}

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2+0=0+mgh

h=\dfrac{kx^2}{2mg}

Where, k = spring constant

m = mass of the block

x = distance

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value in the equation

h=\dfrac{5365\times(0.097)^2}{2\times0.221\times9.8}

h=11.653\ m

Hence, The maximum height above the point of release is 11.653 m.

Why can't there be a number lower than absolute zero
nexus9112 [7]

Absolute zero is not about numbers.  It's about temperature, and the
motion of molecules in gases. 

You know that the temperature we feel with our skin is the result of the
average speed of all the tiny molecules zipping around or vibrating in
the solid, liquid, or gas.

The faster they're all moving, the warmer the substance feels to us. 
The slower they're all moving, the cooler the substance feels to us.

When molecules slow down to zero and lose all of their kinetic energy,
that temperature is what we call 'absolute zero' ... if they're not moving
at all, then they can't move any slower.
