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:

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

What are two ways an engineer can build a car in order for it to accelerate faster

Ket [755]

Explanation:

Take F=ma

a = F/m

For a higher, F higher or m lower

Means higher horse power for engine or lower mass for the car

The diagram below shows a 5.00-kilogram block

bixtya [17]

The name and strength of the force holding the block up is 50 N upward - Normal force.

The given parameters:

Mass of the block, m = 5 kg

The weight of the block acting downwards due to gravity is calculated as follows;

W = mg

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

W = 5 x 10

W = 50 N (downwards)

Since the block is at rest, an a force equal to the weight of the block must be acting upwards. This force is known as normal reaction.

Fₙ = 50 N (upwards)

Thus, the name and strength of the force holding the block up is 50 N upward - Normal force.

A 1.80-m string of weight 0.0126 N is tied to the ceiling at its upper end, and the lower end supports a weight W. Neglect the v

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

W = 0.135 N

Explanation:

Given:

- y (x, t) = 8.50*cos(172*x -2730*t)

- Weight of string m*g = 0.0126 N

- Attached weight = W

Find:

The attached weight W given that Tension and W are equal.

Solution:

The general form of standing mechanical waves is given by:

y (x, t) = A*cos(k*x -w*t)

Where k = stiffness and w = angular frequency

Hence,

k = 172 and w = 2730

- Calculate wave speed V:

V = w / k = 2730 / 172 = 13.78 m/s

- Tension in the string T:

T = Y*V^2

where Y: is the mass per unit length of the string.

- The tension T and weight attached W are equal:

T = W = Y*V^2 = (w/L*g)*V^2

W = (0.0126 / 1.8*9.81)*(13.78)^2

W = 0.135 N
