Transverse waves are sent along a 5.00-m-long string with a speed of 30.00 m/s. The string is under a tension of 10.00 N. What i
s the mass of the string
1 answer:
Answer:
0.055 kg
Explanation:
Given that
Length of the string, l = 5 m
Speed of the wave, v = 30 m/s
Tension on the string, F(t) = 10N
From the formula written in the attachment, we have
v = velocity of the wave, in m/s
F(t) = Tension on the string, in N
U = Mass per length of the string, in kg/m
m = Mass of the string, in kg
l = Length of the string, in m
See attachment for the calculation

Since there is no friction between the ladder and the wall, there can be no vertical force component. That's the tricky part ;)
So to find the weight, divide the 100N <em>normal</em> force by earths gravitational acceleration, 9.8m/s^2
Then;
Draw an arrow at the base of the ladder pointing towards the wall with a value of 30N, to show the frictional force.

To explain, I will use the equations for kinetic and potential energy:
Potential energy is the potential an object has to move due to gravity. An object can only have potential energy if 1) <u>gravity is present</u> and 2) <u>it is above the ground at height h</u>. If gravity = 0 or height = 0, there is no potential energy. Example:
An object of 5 kg is sitting on a table 5 meters above the ground on earth (g = 9.8 m/s^2). What is the object's gravitational potential energy? <u>(answer: 5*5*9.8 = 245 J</u>)
(gravitational potential energy is potential energy)
<h3>Kinetic energy</h3>Kinetic energy is the energy of an object has while in motion. An object can only have kinetic energy if the object has a non-zero velocity (it is moving and not stationary). An example:
An object of 5 kg is moving at 5 m/s. What is the object's kinetic energy? (<u>answer: 5*5 = 25 J</u>)
<h3>Kinetic and Potential Energy</h3>Sometimes, an object can have both kinetic and potential energy. If an object is moving (kinetic energy) and is above the ground (potential), it will have both. To find the total (mechanical) energy, you can add the kinetic and potential energies together. An example:
An object of 5 kg is moving on a 5 meter table at 10 m/s. What is the objects mechanical (total) energy? (<u>answer: KE = .5(5)(10^2) = 250 J; PE = (5)(9.8)(5) = 245 J; total: 245 + 250 = 495 J</u>)
