A steel piano wire is 0.7 m long and has a mass of 5 g. It is stretched with a tension of 500 N. What is the speed of transverse

waves on the wire? To reduce the wave speed by a factor of 2 without changing the tension, what mass of copper wire would have to be wrapped around the wire?

Answer:

a.264.6m/s

b.4995g

Explanation:

Data given,

Tension T=500N,

length of wire=0.7m,

mass,m=5g=0.005kg

a.To determine the speed of the transverse wave, we use the equation below

V=\sqrt{\frac{FL}{m} } \\F=tension, L=length, m=mass\\

if we insert values as given in the question , we arrive at

V=\sqrt{\frac{500*0.7}{0.005}}\\ V=264.6m/s

b. To reduce he wave speed by a factor of 2, the new wave speed will become 132.3m/s.

From the equation, if mass,m becomes subject of formula, we have

m=\frac{V^{2}}{FL}\\ m=\frac{132.3^{2}}{500*0.7}\\m=50kg\\m=5000g

Hence to reduce the speed by a factor of 2, (5000-5)g=4995g mass of copper wire would have to be wrapped around the wire.

Find the interest. A 105-day note for $14,200 at 8.5% interest.
mr Goodwill [35]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

$347.22

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Principal = $14,200

Rate = 8.5%

Time = 105 days = 105/365

Interest = Principal x Rate x Time

Interest = 14,200 x 0.085 x 105/365

Interest = 347.219

             = $347.22

How is current related to voltage? ​
Tju [1.3M]

The relationship between current and voltage and resistance is described by ohlm's law. This equation i=v/r tells that the current i flowing through a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage v, and inversely proportional to resistance r. This desceibes the relationship of voltage, current and resistance.

A light ray transfers from more to less dense medium at certain condition , if we repeat this experiment by increasing the angle
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Still constant

Explanation:

The relative refractive index ₁n₂ between the two medium can be as follows;

_1n_2 = \dfrac{The \ speed \ of \ light \ in \ medium \ 1}{The \ speed \ of \ light \ in \ medium \ 2}  = \dfrac{c_1}{c_2}

Therefore, given that the speed of light in medium 1 is constant and the speed of light on medium 2 is also constant, the relative refractive index ₁n₂ = c₁/c₂ is always constant.
