The speed of these waves will be 14 m/s

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall the speed of wave formula as follows:

\boxed {v = \lambda \times f}

<em>where:</em>

<em>c = speed of wave ( m/s )</em>

<em>λ = wavelength ( m )</em>

<em>f = frequency of wave ( Hz )</em>

\texttt{ }

\boxed {v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}}

<em>where:</em>

<em>v = speed of wave on string ( m/s )</em>

<em>T = tension in the string ( N )</em>

<em>μ = linear density ( kg/m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

initial mass = m₁ = 5 kg

length of vertical wire = L = 2 m

initial speed of wave = v₁ = 10 m/s

final mass = m₂ = 2m₁ = 2(5) = 10 kg

<u>Asked:</u>

final speed of wave = v₂ = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

v_1 : v_2 = \sqrt{\frac{T_1}{\mu}} : \sqrt{\frac{T_2}{\mu}}

v_1 : v_2 = \sqrt{T_1} : \sqrt{T_2}

v_1 : v_2 = \sqrt{w_1} : \sqrt{w_2}

v_1 : v_2 = \sqrt{m_1 g} : \sqrt{m_2 g}

v_1 : v_2 = \sqrt{m_1} : \sqrt{m_2}

10 : v_2 = \sqrt{5} : \sqrt{10}

v_2 = 10\sqrt{2} \texttt{ m/s}

v_2 \approx 14 \texttt{ m/s}

\texttt{ }

A 7.7 kg sphere makes a perfectly inelastic collision with a second sphere initially at rest. The composite system moves with a
klemol [59]

Answer:

15.4 kg.

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

mu+m'u' = V(m+m').................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the first sphere, m' = mass of the second sphere, u = initial velocity of the first sphere, u' = initial velocity of the second sphere, V = common velocity of both sphere.

Given: m = 7.7 kg, u' = 0 m/s (at rest)

Let: u = x m/s, and V = 1/3x m/s

Substitute into equation 1

7.7(x)+m'(0) = 1/3x(7.7+m')

7.7x = 1/3x(7.7+m')

7.7 = 1/3(7.7+m')

23.1 = 7.7+m'

m' = 23.1-7.7

m' = 15.4 kg.

Hence the mass of the second sphere = 15.4 kg

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

t  = 7,8 s

Explanation:

From the instant, the rabbit passes the cat. The cat star running acceleration of 0,5 m/s² .

When the cat arrives at the speed of 3,9 m/s the cat catches the rabbit

Then for the cat arrives at 3,9 m/s nedds

v = vo + a*t     vo  = 0  then   v = a*t

3,9 ( m/s) = 0,5 ( m/s² ) * t

t  = 7,8 s

v  =  3,9 m/s =

A proton moving with a velocity of 4.0 × 104 m/s enters a magnetic field of 0.20 t. if the angle between the velocity of the pro
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Magnitude of the force on proton = F = 1.1085 × 10^-15 N

Explanation:

Charge on proton = q = 1.60 × 10^-19 C

Velocity of proton = V = 4.0 × 10^4 m/s

Magnetic field = B = 0.20 T  

Angle between V and B = θ = 60

We know that,  

F = qVBsin θ = (1.60 × 10^-19)( 4.0 × 10^4)( 0.20)sin(60)

F = 1.1085 × 10^-15 N
