Answer:

Mass of object in Earth = 1.58 kg.

Free-fall acceleration on planet X = 12.47 m/s²

Explanation:

We know weight is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

Mass is a constant.

           W = mg

On planet X, an object weighs 19.7 N.

      W_X=mg_X\\\\19.7=mg_X

On planet B where the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration is 1.92 g (where g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration on Earth), the object weighs 29.8 N.

           W_B=mg_B\\\\29.8=m\times 1.92\times 9.81\\\\m=1.58kg

Mass of object in Earth = 1.58 kg.

We need to find free-fall acceleration on planet X.

     19.7=mg_X\\\\g_X=\frac{19.7}{1.58}=12.47m/s^2

Free-fall acceleration on planet X = 12.47 m/s²

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

62.5 %

Explanation:

Let the initial intensity of unpolarized light is Io.

After first polariser the intensity of light becomes I'.

So, I' = \frac{I_{0}}{2}

Now it passes through another polariser. The angle between the first polariser and the second polariser is given by Ф. The intensity is I''.

According to the law of Malus

I'' = I' Cos^{2}\phi

Here, Ф = 30 degree

I'' = \frac{I_{0}}{2} Cos^{2}30=0.375I_{0}

The percentage change in the intensity is given by

\frac{I_{0}-I''}{I_{0}}\times 100=\frac{I_{0}-0.375I_{0}}{I_{0}}\times100

= 62.5 %

A sound wave travels in air toward the surface of a freshwater lake and enters into the water. The frequency of the sound does n
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of sound in air at 20⁰C is 343 m /s

velocity of sound in water at 20⁰C is 1481 m /s

The wavelength of the sound is 2.86 m in the air so its frequency

= 343 / 2.86 = 119.93 .

This frequency of  119.93 will remain unchanged in water .

wavelength in water = velocity in water / frequency

= 1481 / 119.93

= 12. 35 m .

A box lies in the open back of a truck. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the and the truck is 0.20. What i
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The  maximum  velocity is  a_{max} =  1.96 m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The coefficient of static friction is  \mu  =  0.20

     

Generally the maximum acceleration can be mathematically represented as

          a_{max} =  \mu  *  g

Where g is  the acceleration due to gravity and the value is  g  = 9.8 \ m/s^2

substituting vlues

        a_{max} =  0.20  *9.80

       a_{max} =  1.96 m/s^2

A guitar string is strummed near a tuning fork that has a frequency of 512 Hz. Initially, the guitar and tuning fork together cr
Helen [10]

The question is incomplete. However, I have made an attempt to guess what the question is asking for.

Answer:

The original frequency of the guitar string is 507 Hz.

The frequency is increased after the tension is increased.

Its new frequency is 508 Hz.

Explanation:

The tuning fork has a frequency of 512 Hz.

With a beat frequency of 5 Hz, the guitar has a frequency of

  • 512 - 5 = 507 Hz              OR
  • 512 + 5 = 517 Hz

The relationship between frequency, <em>f</em>, and tension, <em>T</em>, is given by

f\propto\sqrt{T} provided other factors are constant.

It follows that when tension is increased, frequency increases.

Therefore, when the tension in the string is increased, its frequency increases.

From the question, this increase in frequency caused a reduced beat frequency of 4 Hz.

This means the new frequency is

  • 512 - 4 = 508 Hz              OR
  • 512 + 4 = 516 Hz

In the first choice, there is an increase in the frequency from 507 Hz to 508 Hz.

The second choice indicates a decrease from 517 Hz to 516 Hz.

Since we have established there is an increase in frequency, the first choice is correct. The original frequency of the guitar string is 507 Hz.
