Answer:

The  speed  is  v  = 214.35 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  linear mass density is  \mu  =  3700 \ kg/m

    The tension is  T  =  1.7*10^8 \ N

The  transverse wave speed is mathematically represented as  

       v  =  \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }

substituting values

      v  =  \sqrt{\frac{1.7 *10^{8}}{3700} }

      v  = 214.35 \ m/s

A man is standing on the edge of a 20.0 m high cliff. He throws a rock horizontally with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

<em>a. t = 2.02 s </em>

<em>b. d = 20.2 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Motion </u>

If an object is thrown horizontally from a height h with a speed v, it describes a curved path ruled exclusively by gravity until it eventually hits the ground.

The time the object takes to hit the ground can be calculated as follows:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

The time does not depend on the initial speed.

The range or maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object can be calculated by the equation:

\displaystyle d=v.t

The man standing on the edge of the h=20 m cliff throws a rock with an initial horizontal speed of v=10 m/s.

a.

The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*20}{9.8}}

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{4.0816}

t = 2.02 s

b.

The range is:

\displaystyle d=10\cdot 2.02

d = 20.2 m

Electromagnetic waves are used extensively in modern technology. Many devices are built to emit and/or receive EM waves at a ver
il63 [147K]

Answer: Option D and E

Explanation: Across the electromagnet spectrum, the frequency increases but the wavelength reduces.

This implies that radio waves have the longest wavelength but the smallest frequency, while gamma rays have the shortest wavelength but the highest frequency.

This implies that there is an inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency.

Of all the technologies listed above, wireless internet has the highest frequency hence making it have the shortest wavelength.

Also by comparing values from the data given to us above, it is possible for some wireless internet device to operate within the same frequency range of the microwave.

PLLEEEASE HELP!!! How does archimedes' principle explain how much fluid is displaced by an object?
Crank

The concept of Archimedes' principle is that an object immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The fluid displaced has a weight W = mg, where g is acceleration due to gravity. Therefore, the weight of the displaced fluid can be expressed as W = ρVg.

The distance to the other planets in the Solar System from the Earth depends on where they are in their orbit. The closest that
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

3.6 arcsec

Explanation:

 angular diameter = diameter / distance

diameter is constant

so angular diameter ∝ 1 / distance

angular diameter = k / distance

For first case ,

18 = k / .5

for second case let angular diameter be D .

D = k / 2.5

dividing ,

D / 18 = .5 / 2.5 = 1 / 5

D = 18 / 5 = 3.6 arcsec

3.6 arcsec is the answer .
