A rope of length L has circular cross-sectional area A and density rho = m/V , where m is the mass of the rope and V = A · L is

its volume. The linear density of the rope µ is defined to be the mass per unit length, m/L, and can be written in the form µ = rho x A y . Using dimensional analysis, determine which expression has the correct powers of x and y.

Answer: µ = ρ¹ * A¹

Where x=1 and y=1

Explanation: According to the question, the mass per unit length (µ) is related to the density (ρ) and area A are related by the formulae below

µ = ρ * A

The dimension for each of these quantities is given below

Since µ is mass per unit length, unit is Kg/m and the dimension is ML^-1

ρ is density with unit kg/m³ and the dimension is ML^3

A is area with unit m², thus the dimension is M^2

Note that using dimensional analysis means we will be using the 3 fundamental quantities (mass, length and time) in our analysis.

Their dimensions below

Mass = M

Length = L

Time = T

Since the mass per unit length is related to density and area, we have a mathematical equation to provide a solution as shown below

µ = ρ^x * A^y.

By getting the power of x and y we will be able to get the formula that relates the quantities.

This is done by slotting in the dimensions of the respective quantities.

ML^-1 = (ML^-3)^x * (L²) ^y

By using law of indices on the right hand side of the equation, we have that

ML^-1 = (M^x * L^-3x) * (L^2y)

Also applying law of indices on the right hand side, we have that

ML^-1 = (M^x) * (L^-3x +2y)

The next step is to relate equal variables on both sides

For the M variable

M¹ = M^x which results to

x = 1

For the L variable

L^-1 = L^-3x+2y which results to

-1 = - 3x +2y

But x = 1

We have that

-1 = - 3(1) +2y

-1 = - 3 + 2y

-1 +3= 2y

2 = 2y

y = 1

Thus x=1 and y=1 and the formulae that relates the quantities is

µ = ρ¹ * A¹

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

V = 3.54 m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy:

E_i = E_f

so:

wh = \frac{1}{2}mV^2

where w is te weigh of kelly, h the distance that kelly decends, m is the mass of kelly and V the velocity in the lowest position.

So, the mass of kelly is:

m = 425N/9.8 = 43.36 Kg

and h is:

h = 1m-0.36m =0.64m

then, replacing values, we get:

(425N)(0.64m) = \frac{1}{2}(43.36kg)v^2

Solving for v:

V = 3.54 m/s

A car speeds up from 18.54 m/s to<br> 29.52 m/s in 13.84 s.<br> The acceleration of the car is:
valkas [14]

Answer:

.7934m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Acceleration = change in velocity / change in time

A = 10.98m/s / 13.84s

A = .7934m/s^{2}

Why were the rings of Uranus not observed directly from telescopes on the ground on Earth? How were they discovered?
leonid [27]

Answer:Explained below.

Explanation:

Uranus rings is made up of jet black, coal-like particles in small bands, making them difficult  to perceive from Earth.This indicates that they are probably composed of a mixture of the ice and a dark material. The nature of  material is dismal, but it might be some organic compounds greatly darkened by the charged particle irradiation from the Uranian magnetosphere. Rings were discovered by using a infrared telescope throughout  the occultation of a star as Uranus passed in front of it. The light from the star dimmed many times before it was obstructed by the disk of Uranus and subsequently, showing the presence of various distinct rings.

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

v = 2,99913 10⁸ m / s

Explanation:

The velocity of propagation of a wave is

         v = λ f

in the case of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum the speed that speed of light

         v = c

When the wave reaches a material medium, it is transmitted through a resonant type process, whereby the molecules of the medium vibrate at the same frequency as the wave, as the speed of the wave decreases the only way that they remain the relationship is that the donut length changes in the material medium

         λ = λ₀ / n

where n is the index of refraction of the material medium.

Therefore the expression is

           v = \frac{\lambda_o}{n} f

Let's look for the frequency of blue light in a vacuum

           f =\frac{c }{\lambda_o}  

           f = \frac{3 \ 10^8}{450 \ 10^{-9}}

           f = 6.667 10¹⁴ Hz

the refractive index of air is tabulated

           n = 1,00029

let's calculate

           v = \frac{450 \ 10^{-9} }{1.00029}  \ 6.667 \ 10^{14}450 10-9 / 1,00029 6,667 1014

            v = 2,99913 10⁸ m / s

we can see that the decrease in speed is very small
