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

Answer:

0.5864 m

Explanation:

r_1 = 0.705 m

\omega_1 = 10 rpm

\omega_2 = 20.5 rpm

\left(m r_{1}^{2}\right) \omega_{1} &=\left(m r_{2}^{2}\right) \omega_{2}

r_{2}^{2} &=\frac{\left(m r_{1}^{2}\right) \omega_{1}}{\left(\omega_{2}\right)}

=\frac{\left(r_{1}^{2}\right) \omega_{1}}{\left(\omega_{2}\right)}

=\frac{\left((0.705 \mathrm{m})^{2}\right)(10 \mathrm{rpm})}{(20.5 \mathrm{rpm})}

=\sqrt{\frac{\left((0.705 \mathrm{m})^{2}\right)(10 \mathrm{rpm})}{(20.5 \mathrm{rpm})}}

r_{2} =0.5864\ m

The weights are 0.5864 m apart.

How does Scientific theories differ from scientific laws
finlep [7]
Hey there!

\ggg \ scientific \ laws : Scientific law's would be a law that was proven and test and examined by scientist.These laws would basically be fact's, proven that what ever they say would technically be true.

\ggg \ Scientific \ theories: These are "theories" that are made by scientist usually hypothesis to see what law would actually be true. These "theories" are of course not true, they are not quite laws, they are experiment's that could be laws, but they're theories, thing's that are technically false.

Hope this helps you!
