Answer:

47 m

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Length of dry leg 1 (L1) = 40 m

Length of dry leg 2 (L2) = 25 m

Length of swimming course (L) =..?

The length of the swimming course can be obtained by using pythagoras theory as shown below:

L² = L1² + L2²

L² = 40² + 25²

L² = 1600 + 625

L² = 2225

Take the square root of both side.

L = √2225

L = 47.1 ≈ 47 m

Therefore, the length of the swimming course is approximately 47 m.

ball of mass 0.4 kg is attached to the end of a light stringand whirled in a vertical circle of radius R = 2.9 m abouta fixed po
Levart [38]

Answer:

6.046N

Explanation:

The net force exerted on the mass is the sum of tension force and the external force of gravity.

F_n_e_t=F_g+F_t

F_t is the tension force.F_g=9.8N/kg is the force of gravity.

F_n_e_t=ma_c=mv^2/r\\

where r is the rope's radius from the fixed point.

From the net force equation above:

F_t=F_n_e_t-F_g\\=mv^2/r-mg\\=0.4\times(8.5^2/2.9)-0.4\times9.8\\=6.046N

Hence the tension force is 6.046N

Frequency, period and wavelength<br> 11th grade high school physics
zzz [600]

Answer:0.38

Explanation:

the formula is f = c / λ

so f= 2.5/6.5

and that equals 0.38 46 and so on so i just rounded it

At room temperature, sound travels at a speed of about 344 m/s in air. You see a distant flash of lightning and hear the thunder
beks73 [17]

Answer:

d=1.67mi

Explanation:

Assuming the light takes essentially no time to reach you, the distance at which the lightning occurred can be calculated by multiplying the speed of sound by the time it takes to hear the thunder:

d=v_st\\d=344\frac{m}{s}(7.8s)\\d=2683.2m*\frac{1mi}{1609.34m}=1.67mi

A 0.325 g wire is stretched between two points 57.7 cm apart. The tension in the wire is 650 N. Find the frequency of first harm
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

f = 931.1 Hz

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the wire, m = 0.325 g

Length of the stretch, L = 57.7 cm = 0.577 m

Tension in the wire, T = 650 N

Frequency for the first harmonic = ?

we know,

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

μ is the mass per unit length

μ = 0.325 x 10⁻³/ 0.577

μ = 0.563 x 10⁻³ Kg/m

now,

v =\sqrt{\dfrac{650}{0.563\times 10^{-3}}}

   v = 1074.49 m/s

The wire is fixed at both ends. Nodes occur at fixed ends.

For First harmonic when there is a node at each end and the longest possible wavelength will have condition

          λ=2 L

          λ=2 x 0.577 = 1.154 m

we now,

       v = f λ

      f = \dfrac{v}{\lambda}

      f = \dfrac{1074.49}{1.154}

             f = 931.1 Hz

The frequency for first harmonic is equal to f = 931.1 Hz
