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.

In a certain process, the energy change of the system is 250 \rm kJ. The process involves 480 \rm kJ of work done by the system.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

\Delta Q=-230kJ

Explanation:

Using the first law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U=\Delta Q-W

Where \Delta U is the change in the internal energy of the system, in this case  \Delta U=250kJ, \Delta Q is the heat tranferred, and W is the work,  W=-480kJ with a negative sign since the work is done by the system.

From the previous equation we solve for heat, because it is the unknown variable in this problem

\Delta Q=\Delta U +W

And replacing the known values:

\Delta Q=250kJ +(-480kJ)

\Delta Q=250kJ -480kJ

\Delta Q=-230kJ

The negative sign shows us that the heat is tranferred from the system into the surroundings.

An object has a kinetic energy of 275 j and the momentum of magnitude of 25.0 kg m/s. find the speed and mass of the object
lyudmila [28]
<span>Recall formula for Kinetic energy is: KE = 1/2mv^2, where KE = 275J and momentum (which is 25.0 kg m/s) = m*v Therefore substitute for KE and mv in the equation above to get speed => 275 = 0.5 * 25 * v v = 275/12.5 v = 22m/s to get mass m, recall momentum = m*v => 25= 22*m m= 25/22 = 1.3663kg</span>

During the experiment it is determined that, as the cart rolls between two points on the track, the work done on the cart by the
natita [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the work done on the cart is NET work

Then the work will result in an increase in kinetic energy

KE₀ + W = KE₁

½mv₀² + W = ½mv₁²

½(0.80)(0.61²) + 0.91 = ½(0.80)v₁²

v₁ = 1.626991...

v₁ = 1.6 m/s
