travels with a speed of 192 m/s. How many full wavelengths of the wave fit on the string?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to wavelength depending on the frequency and speed. Mathematically, the wavelength can be expressed as

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

Where,

v = Velocity

f = Frequency,

Our values are given as

L = 3.6m

v= 192m/s

f= 320Hz

Replacing we have that

\lambda = \frac{192}{320}

\lambda = 0.6m

The total number of 'wavelengths' that will be in the string will be subject to the total length over the size of each of these undulations, that is,

N = \frac{L}{\lambda}

N = \frac{3.6}{0.6}

N = 6

Therefore the number of wavelengths of the wave fit on the string is 6.

An airplane is moving at 350 km/hr. If a bomb is
Molodets [167]

Answers:

a) -171.402 m/s

b) 17.49 s

c) 1700.99 m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equations:

y=y_{o}+V_{oy}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (1)

x=V_{ox}t (2)

V_{f}=V_{oy}-gt (3)

Where:

y=0 m is the bomb's final jeight

y_{o}=1.5 km \frac{1000 m}{1 km}=1500 m is the bomb'e initial height

V_{oy}=0 m/s is the bomb's initial vertical velocity, since the airplane was moving horizontally

t is the time

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity

x is the bomb's range

V_{ox}=350 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km} \frac{1 h}{3600 s}=97.22 m/s is the bomb's initial horizontal velocity

V_{f} is the bomb's fina velocity

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h3>b) Time</h3>

With the conditions given above, equation (1) is now written as:

y_{o}=\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (4)

Isolating t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 y_{o}}{g}} (5)

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 (1500 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}} (6)

t=17.49 s (7)

<h3>a) Final velocity</h3>

Since V_{oy}=0 m/s, equation (3) is written as:

V_{f}=-gt (8)

V_{f}=-(97.22)(17.49 s) (9)

V_{f}=-171.402 m/s (10) The negative sign ony indicates the direction is downwards

<h3>c) Range</h3>

Substituting (7) in (2):

x=(97.22 m/s)(17.49 s) (11)

x=1700.99 m (12)

The quadriceps muscles pull on the patella simultaneously. Below are the forces from each
Nostrana [21]

Based on the calculation of the resultant of vector forces:

  1. the resultant force due to the quadriceps is 1795 N
  2. the resultant force due to the quadriceps is 1975 N. Training and strengthening the vastus medialis results in a greater force of muscle contraction.

<h3>What is the resultant force due to the quadriceps?</h3>

The resultant of more than two vector forces is given by:

  • F = √Fₓ² + Fₙ²

where:

  • Fₓ is the sum of the horizontal components of the forces
  • Fₙ is the sum of the vertical components of the forces
  • Fx = F₁cosθ + F₂cosθ + F₃cosθ + F₄cosθ
  • Fₙ = F₁sinθ + F₂sinθ + F₃sinθ + F₄sinθ
  • F₁ = 680N, θ = 90 = 30 = 120°
  • F₂ = 220 N, θ = 90 + 16 = 106°
  • F₃ = 600 N, θ = 90 + 15 = 105°
  • F₄ = 480 N, θ = 90 - 35 = 55°

then:

Fx = 680 * cos 120 + 220 * cos 106 + 600 * cos 105 + 480 * cos 55

Fx = -280.6 N

Fₙ = 680 * sin 120 + 220 * sin 106 + 600 * sin 105 + 480 * sin 55

Fₙ = 1773.1 N

then:

F = √(-280.6)² + ( 1773.1)²

F = 1795.16 N

F ≈ 1795 N

Therefore, the resultant force due to the quadriceps is 1795 N

<h3>What would happen if the vastus medialis was trained and strengthened to contract with 720N of force?</h3>

From the new information provided:

  • F₁ = 680N, θ = 90 = 30 = 120°
  • F₂ = 220 N, θ = 90 + 16 = 106°
  • F₃ = 600 N, θ = 90 + 15 = 105°
  • F₄ = 720 N, θ = 90 - 35 = 55°

then:

Fx = 680 * cos 120 + 220 * cos 106 + 600 * cos 105 + 720 * cos 55

Fx = -142.95 N

Fₙ = 680 * sin 120 + 220 * sin 106 + 600 * sin 105 + 720 * sin 55

Fₙ = 1969.72 N

then:

F = √(-142.95)² + ( 1969.72)²

F = 1974.9 N

F ≈ 1975 N

Therefore, the resultant force due to the quadriceps is 1975 N.

Training and strengthening the vastus medialis results in a greater force of muscle contraction.

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth. If the muscle generates a force of 49.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

1.1397 Nm

Explanation:

When the palmaris longus muscle in the forearm is flexed, the wrist moves back and forth.

If the muscle generates a force

F =  49.5 N and r = 2.65 cm , then the torque is equal to rF

we see that r = 2.65 cm = 0.0265 m

therefore

torque = 0.0265 x 49.5

= 1.1397 Nm

A certain parallel-plate capacitor is filled with a dielectric for which Κ = 5.5 .The area of each plate is 0.034 m2 , and the p
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The maximum energy that can be stored in the capacitor is  6.62 x 10⁻⁵ J

Explanation:

Given that,

dielectric constant k = 5.5

the area of each plate, A = 0.034 m²

separating distance, d =  2.0 mm = 2 x 10⁻³ m

magnitude of the electric field =  200 kN/C

Capacitance of the capacitor is calculated as follows;

C = \frac{k \epsilon A}{d} = \frac{5.5*8.85*10^{-12}*0.034}{2*10^{-3}} = 8.275 *10^{-10} \ F

Maximum potential difference:

V = E x d

V = 200000 x 2 x 10⁻³ = 400 V

Maximum energy that can be stored in the capacitor:

E = ¹/₂CV²

E = ¹/₂ x 8.275 x 10⁻¹⁰ x (400)²

E = 6.62 x 10⁻⁵ J

Therefore, the maximum energy that can be stored in the capacitor is  6.62 x 10⁻⁵ J
