The speed of the wave in the string is 83.4 m/s

Explanation:

For a standing wave in a string, the speed of the wave is given by the equation:

$v=\frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m/L}}$

where

L is the length of the string

T is the tension in the string

m is the mass of the string

In this problem, we have:

L = 0.72 m

m = 4.2 g = 0.0042 kg

T = 84.1 N

Solving the equation, we find the speed of the wave:

$v=\frac{1}{2(0.72)}\sqrt{\frac{84.1}{0.0042/0.72}}=83.4 m/s$

The distance between two charges a and b is r, and the force between them is F. What is the force between them if the distancbet

Nadusha1986 [10]

See coulomb's law. Force is inversely proportional to the distance squared. So if you multiply r by 2, the force is multiplied by (½)² = ¼.

Allyson and Adrian have decided to connect their ankles with a bungee cord; one end is tied to each person's ankle. The cord is

Damm [24]

Complete question is;

Allyson and Adrian have decided to connect their ankles with a bungee cord; one end is tied to each person's ankle. The cord is 40 feet long, but can stretch up to 120 feet. They both start from the same location. Allyson moves 10 ft/sec and Adrian moves 9 ft/sec in the directions indicated. Adrian stops moving at time t = 5.5 sec, but Allyson keeps on moving 10 ft/sec in the indicated direction. (If a coordinate system is used, assume that the girls' starting position is located at

(x, y) = (0, 0) and that Allyson and Adrian move in the positive y and negative x directions, respectively. Let one unit equal one foot.)

Compute the length of the bungee cord at t = 7 seconds. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer:

Length of bungee cord = 85.734 ft

Explanation:

We are told that Adrian moves 9ft/sec. Thus, at 5.5 seconds, distance he moved is; 9 ft/sec × 5.5sec = 49.5 ft in the negative x (-x) direction. Therefore, the coordinate is (-49.5, 0).

Now, Allyson has moved 10ft/sec. Thus, at 7 seconds, distance he moved would be; 10 ft/sec x 7sec = 70 feet in the positive (+y) direction. Therefore, the coordinate is (0, 70).

Now, since they started from the origin, it means (0, 0) is a coordinate. Thus, we now have 3 coordinates which are; (0, 0), (0, 70) & (-49.5,0). These 3 coordinates would therefore combine to form a right triangle.

The hypotenuse is the distance between Allyson and Adrian.

Thus, from pythagoras theorem, we can find the distance between them which is same as the length of the cord.

Thus;

(-49.5)² + 70² = D².

D² = 2450.25 + 4900

D = √7350.25

D = 85.734 ft

After the driver first notices the obstacle, the car moves uniformly for a time interval t1−t0=t before the brakes are applied.

loris [4]

Answer:

V(t1-t0)

Explanation:

Moving 'uniformly' means constant velocity (speed). the formula for constant speed motion is $V = \frac{distance}{time}$ =( change in position/ change in time)

where,

V is speed

given in the statement :

change in time = t = t1-t0

let the constant speed be ' V '

disance = X = X1-X0

applying the above mentioned formula: V = $\frac{X}{t}$

V = X/t

X = Vt

the distance X1-X0 = Vt =V(t1-t0)

A what is a negatively charged Atoms

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Negatively charged or positively charged atom is generally termed as ANION/CATION. Short Explanation: If an atom loses electrons or gains protons, it will have a net positive charge and is called a Cation. If an atom gains electrons or loses protons, it will have a net negative charge and is called an Anion.

What's the Coulomb's law?

Ulleksa [173]

In layman's term: like charges don't attract while opposite charges doelectrostatic forces between point A( which is charged) and point B (which is also charged) are proportional to the charge of point A and point B. there is also something else about this law that I don't quite remember.

___________________________________________________

Here is the formula:

F = k x Q1 x Q2/d^2

What the formula means:

F=force between charges

Q1 and Q2= amount of charge

d=distance between these two charges

k= Coulombs constant (proportionally constant)

I think that about covers it and hopefully this helped.
