Answer:

The time taken is  t =  0.356 \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The length of steel the wire is  l_1  = 31.0 \ m

   The  length of the  copper wire is  l_2  = 17.0 \ m

    The  diameter of the wire is  d =  1.00 \ m  =  1.0 *10^{-3} \ m

     The  tension is  T  =  122 \ N

     

The time taken by the transverse wave to travel the length of the two wire is mathematically represented as

              t  =  t_s  +  t_c

Where  t_s is the time taken to transverse the steel wire which is mathematically represented as

         t_s  = l_1 *  [ \sqrt{ \frac{\rho * \pi *  d^2 }{ 4 *  T} } ]

here  \rho_s is the density of steel with a value  \rho_s  =  8920 \ kg/m^3

   So

      t_s  = 31 *  [ \sqrt{ \frac{8920 * 3.142*  (1*10^{-3})^2 }{ 4 *  122} } ]

      t_s  = 0.235 \ s

 And

        t_c is the time taken to transverse the copper wire which is mathematically represented as

      t_c  = l_2 *  [ \sqrt{ \frac{\rho_c * \pi *  d^2 }{ 4 *  T} } ]

here  \rho_c is the density of steel with a value  \rho_s  =  7860 \ kg/m^3

 So

      t_c  = 17 *  [ \sqrt{ \frac{7860 * 3.142*  (1*10^{-3})^2 }{ 4 *  122} } ]

      t_c  =0.121

So  

   t  = t_c  + t_s

    t =  0.121 + 0.235

    t =  0.356 \ s

What medium does sound travel through the quickest and why
crimeas [40]
Sound travels through all mediums solid, liquid, and gas. Because sound is a vibration it will travel fastest through solids. This is because the vibrations that make up sound are carried from one place to another by neighboring molecules vibrating against one another. The density of the solid is higher than liquid and gas which means the molecules are more tightly packed and the vibration can pass from one to the next more quickly.

On a straight road (taken to be in the x direction) you drive for an hour at 60 km per hour, then quickly speed up to 120 km per
Luda [366]

Answer:

The average velocity is 180 km/hr

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity, u = 60 km per hour

final velocity, v = 120 km per hour

initial time = 1 hour

final time = 2 hour

Initial position = 60 km/h x 1 hour = 60 km

final position = 120 km/h x 2 hour = 240 km

The average velocity is given by;

V_{avg} = \frac{Final \ position\  - \ Initial \ position}{final \ time\  - \ initial \ time}\\\\V_{avg} = \frac{240km \ - \ 60km}{2hr\  - \ 1hr} \\\\V_{avg} = \frac{180 \ km}{1hr} \\\\V_{avg}= 180 \ km/hr

Therefore, the average velocity is 180 km/hr

Mila [183]

By using an electric field, it is feasible to differentiate between these different forms of radiation.

<h3>What is a radioactive source?</h3>

A source that emits radiation like gamma, beta, and alpha rays is said to be radioactive. Using an electric field, we can discriminate between these different forms of radiation.

The field does not deflate the gamma rays, but it does deflate the alpha and beta rays, with the alpha being deflated to the field's negative portion and the beta to its positive part.

Hence, by using an electric field, it is feasible to differentiate between these different forms of radiation.

To learn more about the radioactive source refer;

Stop lamps must be visible within____ to the rear
Charra [1.4K]
The answer is 300 feet. The stop lamp or lamps on the rear of a vehicle must show a red light that is set in motion upon application of the service or foot brake and, in a vehicle manufactured or assembled on or after January 1, 1964, must be visible from a distance of not less than 300 feet to the rear in normal sunlight. Take note, if the vehicle is manufactured or assembled January 1, 1964, the stop lamp or lamps must be visible from a distance of not less than 100 feet. Also, the stop lamp may be combined with one or more other rear lamps.
