A rope is vibrating in such a manner that three equal-length segments are found to be vibrating up and down with 321 complete cy

cles in 20.0 seconds. Waves travel at speeds of 26.4 m/s in the rope. What is the length of the rope?

Answer:

<u>2.48 m</u> is the length of the rope.

Explanation:

Cycle period is 321

Time is 20 second

Wave travels at speeds = 26.4 m/s

We know that,

$\text { Frequency }=\frac{1}{T} \text { (For one cycle) }$

Frequency required for 321 complete cycle in 20 seconds is

$\text { Frequency }(f)=\frac{321}{20}$

Frequency = 16.05 hz

We know that,

$\text { Wavelength }=\frac{\text { wave velocity }}{\text { frequency }}$

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

λ = wavelength, the distance between "wave crests" (m)

v = wave velocity, the "speed" that waves are moving in a direction (m/s)

f = frequency, (cycles/ or Hz)

$\lambda=\frac{26,4}{16.05}$

λ = 1.65 m

As per given question "length of the rope has three equal length segment"

$\mathrm{Length of the rope}=\frac{3}{2} \lambda$

$\mathrm{Length of the rope }=\frac{3}{2} \times 1.65$

$\mathrm{Length of the rope}=1.5 \times 1.65$

Length of the rope = 2.48 m

Therefore, length of the rope is <u>2.48 m.</u>

The diagram shows a ball resting at the top of a hill.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

a) The potential energy in the system is greatest at X.

Explanation:

Let be X the point where a ball rests at the top of a hill. By applying the Principle of Energy Conservation, the total energy in the physical system remains constant and gravitational potential energy at the top of the hill is equal to the sum of kinetic energy, a lower gravitational energy and dissipated work due to nonconservative forces (friction, dragging).

$U_{grav, X} = U_{grav, Y} + K_{Y} + \Delta W_{X \rightarrow Y} = U_{grav,Z}+\Delta W_{X \rightarrow Z}$

Conclusions are showed as follows:

a) The potential energy in the system is greatest at X.

b) The kinetic energy is the lowest at X and Z.

c) Total energy remains constant as the ball moves from X to Y.

Hence, the correct answer is A.

A block of mass 5.6 kg is attached to a horizontal spring on a rough floor. Initially the spring is compressed 3.5 cm. The sprin

Mariana [72]

Answer:

The velocity of block = 0.188 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Mass m = 5.6 kg

k = 1040 $\frac{N}{m}$

$\mu$ = 0.26

$x_{1} =$ 0.035 m , $v_{1}$ = 0

$x_{2} =$ 0.02 m

From work energy theorem

$K_{1} + U_{1} + W_{other} = K_{2} + U_{2}$ --------- (1)

Kinetic energy

$K = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}$ ------- (1)

Potential energy

$U = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}$ ------- (2)

Work done

W = F.s ------ (3)

From Newton's second law

$R_{N}$ = mg

$R_{N}$ = 5.6 × 9.81 = 54.9 N

Friction force = 0.4 × 54.9 = 21.9 N

Now the work done by the friction

$W_{f}$ = - 21.9 × 0.015

$W_{f}$ = - 0.329 J

Now kinetic energy

At point 1

$K_{1} = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} _{1}$

$K_{1} = 0$

$U_{1} = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}$

$U_{1} = \frac{1}{2} (1040) 0.035^{2}$

$U_{1} =$ 0.637 J

At point 2

$K_{2} = \frac{1}{2} (5.6) v^{2} _{2}$

$K_{2} = 2.8 v_{2} ^{2}$

Potential energy

$U_{2} = \frac{1}{2} k x_2^{2}$

$U_{2} = \frac{1}{2} (1040) 0.02^{2}$

$U_{2} = 0.208$ J

From equation (1) we get

0 + 0.637 - 0.329 = 2.8 $v_{2} ^{2}$ + 0.208

2.8 $v_{2} ^{2}$ = 0.1

$v_{2} =$ 0.188 $\frac{m}{s}$

This is the velocity of block.

Hiran is standing beside the road when he hears a bird flying away from hip and chirping. The bird’s chirp has a frequency of 18

Murrr4er [49]

The frequency of bird chirping hear by hiran will be 1.77 kHz.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As per Doppler effect, the observer will feel a decrease in the frequency of the receiving signal if the source is moving away from the observer. So the shifted frequency is obtained using the below equation:

$f'=\frac{c}{c+v_{s} }f$

Here , c is the speed of sound, Vs is the velocity of source with which it is moving away. f is the original frequency of source and f' is the frequency shift heard by the observer.

As here, f = 1800 Hz, Vs= 6 m/s and c = 343 m/s, then

$f'=\frac{343}{343+6} \times 1800=1.77\ kHz$

So, the frequency of bird chirping hear by hiran will be 1.77 kHz.

sergey [27]

Answer:P:Increase Q:Decrease

Explanation: The price of the product will increase as the imposed per-unit excise tax on the sale of the good. This is true for both Perfectly-elastic and relatively elastic products.

The quantity demanded of the product will decrease as the price of the product increases, this his is true for both Perfectly-elastic and relatively elastic products. It will follow the law of Demand and Supply.
