A 2.31-kg rope is stretched between supports that are 10.4 m apart, and has a tension in it of 49.2 N. If one end of the rope is

slightly tweaked, how long will it take for the resulting disturbance to reach the other end?

Answer:

The resulting disturbance takes approximately 0.70 seconds to reach the other end.

Explanation:

The velocity of a disturbance on a rope depends on the physical properties of the material and the tension exerted to it, the equation is:

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}  (1)

With v the velocity of the disturbance, T the tension of the rope and μ the linear density of the rope. The linear density of the rope is the relation between mass M and length L so we have:

\frac{M}{L} (2)

Using (2) on (1):

v=\sqrt{\frac{TL}{M}}=\sqrt{\frac{49.2*10.4}{2.31}}\simeq14.9\frac{m}{s} (3)

If we assume the velocity of the disturbance is constant, it will take for the resulting disturbance to reach the other ends a time t:

t=\frac{L}{v}=\frac{10.4}{14.9}\simeq0.70\,s (4)

a piece of metal with a mass of 15.3 grams has a temperature of 50.0°C. When the metal is placed in 80.2 grams of water at 21.0°
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

1.21

Explanation:

Heat rise in the body happens due to heat supplied by water to the body.

Heat rise in body = m₁ c₁ ΔT₁

Where m₁ is mass of body and c₁ is its specific heat of body

Heat lost from water to the body = m₂ c₂ ΔT₂

Where m₂ is mass of water and c₂ is its specific heat of water ( c₂ =1 (since water))

Equating both:

        15.3 x c₁ x 4.3 = 80.2 x 1 x 4.3

⇒   c₁ = 80.2 / (15.3 x 4.3) = 1.21

A 50.0 N box sliding on a rough horizontal floor, and the only horizontal force acting on it is friction. You observe that at on
Vikki [24]

Answer:

-4.0 N

Explanation:

Since the force of friction is the only force acting on the box, according to Newton's second law its magnitude must be equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

F_f = ma (1)

We can find the mass of the box from its weight: in fact, since the weight is W = 50.0 N, its mass will be

m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{50.0 N}{9.8 m/s^2}=5.1 kg

And we can fidn the acceleration by using the formula:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 0 is the final velocity

u = 1.75 m/s is the initial velocity

t = 2.25 s is the time the box needs to stop

Substituting, we find

a=\frac{0-1.75 m/s}{2.25 s}=-0.78 m/s^2

(the acceleration is negative since it is opposite to the motion, so it is a deceleration)

Therefore, substituting into eq.(1) we find the force of friction:

F_f = (5.1 kg)(-0.78 m/s^2)=-4.0 N

Where the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to the motion of the box.

Under certain circumstances, potassium ions (K+) in a cell will move across the cell membrane from the inside to the outside. Th
choli [55]

Answer:

1.368\times 10^{-20}\ J

Explanation:

q = Charge in the potassium ion = 19e-18e

e = Charge of electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

V_2-V_1 = Change in potential = 0-(-85.5\times 10^{-3})

Change in electric potential is given by

E=q(V_2-V_1)\\\Rightarrow E=(19e-18e)(0-(-85.5\times 10^{-3})\\\Rightarrow E=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 85.5\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow E=1.368\times 10^{-20}\ J

The energy is 1.368\times 10^{-20}\ J

12. An electric motor is plugged into a standard wall socket and is run- ning at normal speed. Suddenly, some dirt prevents the
rusak2 [61]

the answer would be B. the back emf increases, and the current drawn from the socket increases

more current is needed to make the motor move, like when you try to self crank a motor and the back wires are touching its harder to crank. and the emf increases since more current is being drawn in, strengthening the emf or increasing the emf
