Answer:

a.87.6 m/s

b.18.25 Hz

Explanation:

the equation for the wave speed is expressed as

v=\sqrt{\frac{Tl}{m}}\\

where v is the speed,

           T is the tension in Newton

           l is the length

and      m is the mass

Now since

T=8.0N\\m=2.5g=0.0025kg\\l= 240cm=2.40cm\\

by substituting values into the equation, we have

v=\sqrt{\frac{8*2.40}{0.0025} } \\v=87.6m/s\\

b. the expression for the frequency is giving as

Frequency,f=\frac{v}{2l} \\f=\frac{87.6}{2*2.40} \\f=18.25Hz\\.

Note we 2L as the wavelength because we solving for the fundamental frequency as stated in the question.

One way to search for planets around other stars is the doppler technique. another way uses transits of planets around other sta
katovenus [111]
The transit method requires watching the light output of a star over long periods of time. A transit occurs when the planet crosses in front of its star from earths point of view. Since there is a small object (the planet) now blocking some of the star, it appears to dim a little bit for a while until the planet passes. If we are in a position where that occurs regularly (most paths of planets do not happen to be on the line of sight between earth and their star) we can deduce the period of orbit. From the amount of dimming and the period you can estimate the mass

A girl and boy pull in opposite directions on a stuffed animal. The girl exerts a force of 3.5 N. The mass of the stuffed animal
Dmitry [639]
The resultant force on the animal = Resultant mass * total acceleration 
F = 0.2 * 2.5 to the right
F = 0.5 to the right.

As, girl exerting a force of 3.5 N & it's not mentioned that she is in right or left, so the force exerting by boy would be either:
3.5-0.5 = 3  OR  3.5+0.5 = 4

If boy exerting a greater force then, answer will be 4 N & if girl exerting a greater force the, answer will be 3 N

Hope this helps!

A gas in a closed container is heated with 12J of energy, causing the lid of the container to rise 3m with 5N of force. What is
levacccp [35]

Answer:

27J

Explanation:

From conservation of Thermal energy, the total internal energy is the total sum of energy supplied or taken from the system plus work done for or on the system.

Now the change in internal energy would be the sum of the received energy substended in the gas plus the work done by the system which is workdone that it will sustend in pushing the lid. This is expressed mathematically as;

U = Q + (F×d);

U- change in internal energy

Q is the energy received by the system and is positive when energy is received by the system.

Fxd is the workdone and is positive since the gas pushes up the lid- the system does work.

U=12+(3×5)= 27J
