Answer:

Physics is a branch of science. It is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines. The main goal of physics is to explain how things move in space and time and understand how the universe behaves. It studies matter, forces and their effects. The word physics comes from the Greek

4. A light string is attatched to a heavy rope, and the whole thing is pulled tight. A wave is sent along the light string. When

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is (A)

When it hits the heavy rope, compared to the wave on the string, the wave that propagates along the rope has the same (A) frequency

Explanation:

The speed of a wave in a string is dependent on the square root of the tension ad inversely proportional to the square root of the linear density of the string. Generally, the speed of a wave through a spring is dependent on the elastic and inertia properties of the string

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu } } = \sqrt{ \frac{T}{m/L } }$

Therefore if the linear density of the heavy rope is four times that of light rope the velocity is halved and since

v = f×λ therefore v/2 = f×λ/2

Therefore the wavelength is halved, however the frequency remains the same as continuity requires the frequency of the incident pulse vibration to be transmitted to the denser medium for the wave to continue as the wave is due to vibrating particles from a source for example

A hydraulic machine can be used to lift extremely heavy objects. Why is the fluid in the hydraulic machine a liquid rather than

Sauron [17]

Hi,

The force that acts on hydraulic machine is heavy therefore the content must be something that cannot be compressed by that kind of force, the gas can easily be compressed while a liquid is nearly impossible to.

Two forces, one of 100 ponds and the other 150 pounds act on the same object, at angles of 20°and 60°, respectively, withthe pos

soldi70 [24.7K]

<h2>Resultant is 235.54 pounds at an angle 44.16° to X axis.</h2>

Explanation:

Forces are 100 pound and 150 pound and angles with x axis are 20°and 60°.

That is force 1 is 100 pound with x axis at 20°

F₁ = 100 cos 20 i + 100 sin 20 j

F₁ = 93.97 i + 34.20 j

That is force 2 is 150 pound with x axis at 60°

F₂ = 150 cos 60 i + 150 sin 60 j

F₂ = 75 i + 129.90 j

F₁ + F₂ = 93.97 i + 34.20 j + 75 i + 129.90 j

F₁ + F₂ = 168.97 i + 164.10 j

$\texttt{Magnitude = }\sqrt{168.97^2+164.10^2}\\\\\texttt{Magnitude = }235.54pounds\\\\\texttt{Angle = }tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{164.10}{168.97}\right )\\\\\texttt{Angle = }44.16^0$

Resultant is 235.54 pounds at an angle 44.16° to X axis.

An apple is held completely submerged just below the surface of water in a container. The apple is then moved to a deeper point

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the apple is held submerged in water , it experiences a buoyant force due to which it floats in water . One has to apply downward force to keep it submerged. The lower the buoyant force , lower the force needed to submerge it in water.

When apple is held at much deeper point , it experience greater pressure due to column of water around it . So its size or its volume decreases . But its weight remains the same . Due to less volume , buoyant force also decreases ( buoyant force is equal to weight of displaced volume of water. )

Due to buoyant force becoming less , force needed on apple in downward direction will also be less.
