Λ = c/f; where λ is the wavelength, c is the velocity (3.0 ×10^8 m/s) and f is the frequency of the wave.
Therefore; λ1 = (2.99792×10^8)/5.5×10^5)
                      =  545.5 m
                   λ2 = (2.99792×10^8)/1.6×10^6
                       = 187.5 m
Therefore; the shortest wavelength is 187.5 m

10. How far does a transverse pulse travel in 1.23 ms on a string with a density of 5.47 × 10−3 kg/m under tension of 47.8 ?????
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: Tension = 47.8N, Δx = 11.5×10^{-6} m.

              Tension = 95.6N, Δx = 15.4×10^{-5} m

Explanation: A speed of wave on a string under a tension force can be calculated as:

|v| = \sqrt{\frac{F_{T}}{\mu} }

F_{T} is tension force (N)

μ is linear density (kg/m)

Determining velocity:

|v| = \sqrt{\frac{47.8}{5.47.10^{-3}} }

|v| = \sqrt{0.00874 }

|v| = 0.0935 m/s

The displacement a pulse traveled in 1.23ms:

\Delta x = |v|.t

\Delta x = 9.35.10^{-2}*1.23.10^{-3}

Δx = 11.5×10^{-6}

With tension of 47.8N, a pulse will travel Δx = 11.5×10^{-6}  m.

Doubling Tension:

|v| = \sqrt{\frac{2*47.8}{5.47.10^{-3}} }

|v| = \sqrt{2.0.00874 }

|v| = \sqrt{0.01568}

|v| = 0.1252 m/s

Displacement for same time:

\Delta x = |v|.t

\Delta x = 12.52.10^{-2}*1.23.10^{-3}

\Delta x = 15.4×10^{-5}

With doubled tension, it travels \Delta x = 15.4×10^{-5} m

An object, experiencing no friction, keeps moving at a constant speed. What can we say about the net force on the object?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's look at a mathematical representation of this. The equation for tis is just a souped up version of Newton's 2nd Law:

F - f = ma. It an object is moving at a constant speed, the acceleration of that object is 0. That changes this equation to

F = f which states that the applied Force equals the frictional force, choice a.

How much mass should be attached to a vertical ideal spring having a spring constant (force constant)of 39.5 N/m so that it will
nordsb [41]

Answer:

m = 1 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

The force constant of the spring, k = 39.5 N/m

The frequency of oscillation, f = 1 Hz

The frequency of oscillation is given by the formula as formula as follows :

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}} \\\\f^2=\dfrac{k}{4m\pi^2}\\\\m=\dfrac{k}{4\pi^2 f^2}\\\\m=\dfrac{39.5}{4\pi^2 \times (1)^2}\\\\m=1\ kg

So, the mass that is attached to the spring is 1 kg.

Blababa [14]
<span>Answer: Therefore, x component: Tcos(24°) - f = 0 y component: N + Tsin(24°) - mg = 0 The two equations I get from this are: f = Tcos(24°) N = mg - Tsin(24°) In order for the crate to move, the friction force has to be greater than the normal force multiplied by the static coefficient, so... Tcos(24°) = 0.47 * (mg - Tsin(24°)) From all that I can get the equation I need for the tension, which, after some algebraic manipulation, yields: T = (mg * static coefficient) / (cos(24°) + sin(24°) * static coefficient) Then plugging in the values... T = 283.52. Reference https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/difficulty-with-force-problems-involving-friction.111768/</span>
