Answer:

The wave length of the string = 10 cm or 0.1 m

Explanation:

Wave: A wave can be defined as a disturbance, which travels through a medium and transfer energy from one point to another, without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself.

 The velocity, frequency and wavelength of a wave is related as shown,

v = λf ........................ Equation 1

Where v = velocity of the wave, λ = wave length, f = frequency.

λ = v/f ..................... Equation 2.

Given: v = 10 cm/s,

T = 2t, where t = 0.5 s, (This is half of one cycle)  

T = 2×0.5 = 1 s,

But T = 1/f = 1/1 = 1 Hz.

Substituting these values into equation 2

λ  = 10(1)

λ  = 10 cm. or 0.1 m

Thus the wave length of the waves = 10 cm or 0.1 m

A force of 30n is applied to a screwdriver to pry the lid off of a can of paint. The screwdriver applies 75n of force to the lid
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
The mechanical advantage of the screwdriver that is being described above is equal to 75N. This means that for every 30N that is applied on the screwdriver, this simple machine would in turn apply 75N of force to the lid of the can.

A car is stopped at a traffic light. It then travels along a straight road so that its distance from the light is given by x(t)=
True [87]

Answer:

(a) average velocity = 17.6 m/s

(b) when t = 0, v = 0

    when t = 4, v = 19.2 m/s

    when t = 8, v = 28.8 m/s

(c) after starting from rest, the car will be at rest again in 20 s

Explanation:

Given;

x(t)=bt²−ct³, substitute the given values and the equation will become;

x(t)=3t²−0.1t³

(a)average velocity = total distance / total time

total distance, x(t) = 3t²−0.1t³

x(8) = 3t²−0.1t³

X(8) = 3(8)² - 0.1(8)³

X(8) = 140.8 m

total time = 8 s

average velocity = 140.8 / 8

average velocity = 17.6 m/s

(b) instantaneous velocity = dx / dt

dx / dt = 6t - 0.3t²

when t = 0

v = 0

when t = 4 s

v = 6(4) - 0.3(4²) = 19.2 m/s

when t = 8 s

v = 6(8) - 0.3(8²) = 28.8 m/s

(c) the velocity is zero at dx / dt = 0

6t - 0.3t² = 0

t(6 - 0.3t) = 0

t = 0    or  6 - 0.3t = 0

t = 0     or   0.3t = 6

t = 0      or   t = 6 / 0.3

t= 0       or    t =  20 s

After starting from rest, the car will be at rest again in 20 s

Calculate the magnitude of electric field strength at a point 3cm from an infinite line of charge of linear density 18 μC/cm sit
valina [46]
Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field strength = 7.2 x 10⁸ N/C

Explanation:

The linear density:

\begin{gathered} \lambda=18\mu C\text{ /cm} \\  \\ \lambda=\frac{18*10^{-6}C}{0.01m} \\  \\ \lambda=0.0018\text{ C/m} \end{gathered}

Point r = 3 cm = 3/100 m

r = 0.03 m

The electric field strength is calculated below

\begin{gathered} E=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_o\epsilon_rr} \\  \\ E=\frac{0.0018}{2\times3.14\times8.85\times10^{-12}\times1.5\times0.03} \\  \\ E=719709237.468\text{ N/C} \\  \\ E=7.2\times10^8\text{ N/C} \\  \end{gathered}

The magnitude of the electric field strength = 7.2 x 10⁸ N/C
