Does the tension of a string affect the speed of a wave

Physics
1 answer:
Nata [24]3 years ago
5 0
Yes , increased tension suggests increased molecular attraction between the molecules of the ropes which affect the increase in the speed of wave.

A 0.35-kgkg cord is stretched between two supports, 7.4 mm apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave trav
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The tension in the string is T = 1.49*10^{-6}N.

Explanation:

For a string with tension T and linear density \mu_d carrying a transverse wave at speed v it is true that

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu_d} }

solving for T we get:

T = \dfrac{v^2}{\mu_d}.

Now, the transverse wave covers the distance of 7.4mm in 0.88s, which means it's speed is

v =\dfrac{7.4*10^{-3}m}{0.88s} \\\\v = 8.4*10^{-3}s

And it's linear density (mass per unit length) is

\mu_d = \dfrac{0.35kg}{7.4*10^{-3}m} \\\\\mu_d = 47.3kg/m

Therefore, the tension in the cord is

T = \dfrac{(8.4*10^{-3}m/s^2)^2}{47.3kg/m}.

\boxed{T = 1.5*10^{-6}N}

or in micro newtons

T =1.5\mu N

The collective body of observations of a natural phenomenon on which scientific explanations are based is called?
zhenek [66]

Experimental Evidence.

Scientists conduct experiments or observations to gather evidence that either support or disprove a given hypothesis. Hence, all the scientific explanations are based on this body of observations.

Of waterfalls with a height of more than 50 m , Niagara Falls in Canada has the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Power output: W=1426.9MW

Explanation:

The power output of the falls is given mainly by its change in potential energy:

Q=-P_{tot}=-(P_{2}-P_{1})

The potential energy for any point can be calculated as:

P=m*g*h

If we consider the base of the falls to be the reference height, at point 2 h=0, so P2=0, and height at point 1 equals 52m:

Q=P_{1}=m*g*h

If we replace m with the mass rate M we obtain the rate of change in potential energy over time, so the power generated:

W=M*g*h=2.8*10^{3}m^{3}/s*1*10^{3}kg/m^{3}*9.8m/s^{2}*52m =1426.9MW

The diagram does not represent a real electric field because the field lines, can someone help explain this for me
Papessa [141]

electric field lines are graphical presentation of electric field intensity

It is the graphical way to represent the electric field variation

If we draw the tangent to electric field line then it will give the direction of net electric field at that point

So whenever we draw the electric field lines of a charge distribution then it will always follow this basic properties

here we will always follow these basic properties of field lines

now as we can see that here two positive charges are placed nearby so the electric field must be like it can not intersect at any point because at intersection of two lines the direction of electric field not defined

As we have two directions of tangents at that point

So here the incorrect presentation is the intersection of two field lines which is not possible
