Answer:

m = 0.0125 kg

Explanation:

Let us apply the formula for the speed of a wave on a string that is under tension:

v = \sqrt{\frac{F}{\mu} }

where F = tension force

μ = mass per unit length

Mass per unit length is given as:

μ  = m / l

where m = mass of the string

l = length of the string

This implies that:

v = \sqrt{\frac{F}{m/l} }\\ \\v = \sqrt{\frac{F * l}{m} }

Let us make mass, m, the subject of the formula:

v^2 = \frac{F * l}{m}\\\\m = \frac{F * l}{v^2}

From the question:

F = 20 N

l = 4.50 m

v = 85 m/s

Therefore:

m = \frac{20 * 4.5}{85^2}\\\\m = \frac{90}{7225}\\ \\m = 0.0125 kg

How far would a horse that rides at 8.1 m/s travel and 8.5 minutes
Xelga [282]
V = S/t

The time is in minutes, it needs to be converted to seconds, because the Velocity 8.1meters/second.

1 min -------- 60 secs
8.5 min -------- x secs
-> x = 8.5 . 60
-> x = 510secs

-> 8.1 = S/510
-> 510 x 8.1 = S
-> S = 4131 meters

A force of 500 N is used to slide a box across a smooth surface; the box moved 5 m in 1.2 seconds. What power is used?
Katen [24]
F = 500N
S = 5m
T = 1.2s
----------------------------------
P = ?

We can use formula P = F * V, just because it was a smooth slide we can assume that average speed was V = S/T = 5 / 1.2 = 50/12

So the final answer would be:

P = F * V = 500 * 50/12

Are you sure those are correct numbers? The answer don't look nice :D

High specific heat of the water. Option (c)

What is Specific heat?

The amount of heat required to increase the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius is referred to as the substance's specific heat. Typically, calories or joules are used per gram and degree Celsius when referring to the units of specific heat.

The moderate temperature of islands has much to do with the water's high specific heat. The typical off-water is more significant than this clear land or soil. Due to this fact, water absorbs and releases eat more slowly. In comparison to the land.

Hence, the water has high specific heat.
