Answer:

Speed of the transverse wave is 2 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

The transverse wave travels 10 meters in 5 seconds. We have to find the speed of the wave.

The speed of the transverse wave is given by :

s=\dfrac{d}{t}

Where

d is the distance, d = 10 meters

t is the time taken, t = 5 seconds

So, s=\dfrac{10\ m}{5\ s}

Speed, s = 2 m/s

Hence, the speed of the transverse wave is 2 m/s.

Well if we divide both numbers by 5, you get 2 meters per second. Multply this by 3600seconds per hour and you get 7200 meters per hour. There are 1609.34 meters in a mile, so divide 7200 by 1609 to get 4.5 miles per hour

An automobile traveling 95 km/h overtakes a 1.30-km-long train traveling in the same direction on a track
BartSMP [9]

1) 234 s, 6.18 km

The position of the car at time t is described as

x_c(t) = v_c t

where

v_c = 95 km/h is the velocity of the car

The position of the head of the train instead is given by

x_t(t) = d + v_t t

where

d = 1.30 km is the initial distance between the car and the head of the train

v_t = 75 km/h is the velocity of the train

The car overtakes the train when

x_c =x_t

Substituting and solving for t,

v_c t = d + v_t t\\t(v_c-v_t)=d\\t=\frac{d}{v_c-v_t}=\frac{1.30}{95-75}=0.065 h = 234 s

And the distance travelled by the car is

x_c = v_c t = (95 km/h)(0.065 h)=6.18 km

2) 27.5 s, 0.72 km

In this case, the train is travelling in opposite direction, so we can write

v_t = -75 km/h

Again, we can use the same equation as before

x_c =x_t

And solving for t, we find

v_c t = d + v_t t\\t(v_c-v_t)=d\\t=\frac{d}{v_c-v_t}=\frac{1.30}{95+75}=0.0076 h = 27.5 s

And the distance travelled by the car is

x_c = v_c t = (95 km/h)(0.0076 h)=0.72 km

Fun fun fun facts about the west
givi [52]
GREAT QUESTION! Cool subject to talk about :) Here goes nothing lol

1) Apache- North American Indians of the Southwest who fought against frontiersmen.
2) Arapaho- North American Plains Indians living along the Platte and Arkansas Rivers.
3) Sam Bass- A desperado whose career inspired ballads.
4) Judge Roy Bean- a legendary frontier judge who ruled by one book and a six-shooter!
5) Colt .45 six-shot revolver invented by Samuel Colt and used throughout the West... extremely popular among cowboys and outlaws alike.
6) Last but definetily not last, "Billy the Kid" (William H. Bonney, 1859-1881) Brooklyn-born gunman of the Wild West. Legendary Outlaw.
There are plenty more facts to talk about but in the interest of time this all I can provide for now. Hope it helps and have a nice day/night :)

A 100 kg box is suspended from two ropes. The "left rope makes an angle of 20" degrees with the vertical, and the right rope mak
GarryVolchara [31]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the box, m = 100 kg          

Left rope makes an angle of 20 degrees with the vertical, and the right rope makes an angle of 40 degrees.  

From the attached figure, the x and y component of forces is given by :

T_{1x} =-T_1 cos (20)

T_{2x} = T_2 cos (40)

mg_x = 0

T_{1y} = T_1 sin (20)

T_{2y} = T_2 sin (40)

mg_y= -mg

Let R_x and R_y is the resultant in x and y direction.

R_x=-T_1 cos (20)+T_2 cos (40)+0

R_y=T_1 sin(20)+T_2 sin(40)-mg

As the system is balanced the net force acting on it is 0. So,

-T_1 cos (20)+T_2 cos (40)+0=0.............(1)

T_1 sin(20)+T_2 sin(40)-100\times 9.8=0..................(2)

On solving equation (1) and (2) we get:  

T_1=866.86\ N (tension on the left rope)

T_2=1063.36\ N (tension on the right rope)

So, the tension on the right rope is 1063.36 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Debido al desorden en el laboratorio un científico tiene 2 termómetros diferentes pero no sabe en qué escalas están por lo que d
just olya [345]

Answer:

La escala del termómetro ''A'' es grados Celsius.

La escala del termómetro ''B'' es grados Fahrenheit.

Explanation:

Para hallar en qué escalas están los termómetros partimos de que la mezcla a la cuál se midió su temperatura mantuvo su temperatura constante.

Esto quiere decir que los termómetros están expresando la misma temperatura pero en una escala distinta.

Sabemos que dada una temperatura en grados Celsius ''C'' si la queremos convertir a grados Fahrenheit ''F'' debemos utilizar la siguiente ecuación :

F=(\frac{9}{5})C+32 (I)

Ahora, si reemplazamos y asumimos que la temperatura de 18° es en grados Celsius, entonces si reemplazamos C=18 en la ecuación (I) deberíamos obtener F=64.4 ⇒

F=(\frac{9}{5}).(18)+32=32.4+32=64.4

Efectivamente obtenemos el valor esperado. Finalmente, corroboramos que la temperatura del termómetro ''A'' está medida en grados Celsius y la temperatura del termómetro ''B'' en grados Fahrenheit.
