The linear density of a string decreases by 1/4 when it is stretched. What happens to the speed of a wave on the string?

Physics

Answer:

The speed doubles.

Explanation:

The speed of a wave in a string is:

v = √(T / ρ)

where T is the tension and ρ is the linear density (mass per length).

If T is held constant, and ρ decreases by 1/4, then:

v = √(T / (ρ/4))

v = √(4T / ρ)

v = 2√(T / ρ)

The speed doubles.

Un cuerpo se mueve con MRU a una rapidez de 12 m/s y recorre 240 m; luego, disminuye su ra¬pidez uniformemente a razón de 2 m/s2
Annette [7]

Answer:

29 seconds

Explanation:

First we have a constant speed of 12 m/s and the distance of 240 m, so to find the time we can use the formula:

distance = speed * time

240 = 12 * time1

time1 = 20 seconds

Then, the speed decreases at 2 m/s2 until it reaches 2 m/s. So to find this time, we use this formula:

Final speed = inicial speed + acceleration * time

2 = 12 - 2 * time2

2*time2 = 10

time2 = 5 seconds.

Then, the speed increases from 2 m/s to 22 m/s with an acceleration of 5 m/s2, so we have:

Final speed = inicial speed + acceleration * time

22 = 2 + 5 * time3

5*time3= 20

time3 = 4 seconds

The total time is:

Total time = time1 + time2 + time3 = 20 + 5 + 4 = 29 seconds

F=ma 

Velocity is Distance over time so Vf = 75/15 = 5m/s

Find acceleration V=Vo+at. plugging in the values you know, you get
0.33m/s^2

F=(2100)(0.33)=693N
