A steel cable has a cross-sectional area 2.54 10-3 m2 and is kept under a tension of 1.01 104 N. The density of steel is 7860 kg

/m3. Note that this value is not the linear density of the cable. At what speed does a transverse wave move along the cable.

Answer:

The speed is equals to 22.49 m/s

Explanation:

Given Data:

Area = A=2.54*10^-^3m^2\\Force = F = 1.01*10^4N\\density = p = 7860 kg/m^3

Required:

Speed of Traverse wave = c =?

Solution:

As we know that

p=m/V\\\\ p=m/(L*A)\\p*A=m/L

Now the equation for speed of traverse wave is calculated through:

\sqrt \frac{F*L}{m}\\

=\sqrt\frac{F}{m/L} \\\sqrt{} \frac{F}{p*A}

Substituting the values

\sqrt\frac{1.01*10^4}{7860*2.54*10^-^3}  \\

=22.49 m/s

a microwave operates at a frequency of 2400 MHZ. the height of the oven cavity is 25 cm and the base measures 30 cm by 30 cm. as
alexira [117]

Complete question is;

A microwave oven operates at a frequency of 2400 MHz. The height of the oven cavity is 25 cm and the base measures 30 cm by 30 cm. Assume that microwave energy is generated uniformly on the upper surface of the cavity and propagates directly

downward toward the base. The base is lined with a material that completely absorbs microwave energy. The total microwave energy content of the cavity is 0.50 mJ.

Answer:

Power ≈ 600,000 W

Explanation:

We are given;

Frequency; f = 2400 Hz

height of the oven cavity; h = 25 cm = 0.25 m

base area; A = 30 cm by 30 cm = 0.3m × 0.3m = 0.09 m²

total microwave energy content of the cavity; E = 0.50 mJ = 0.5 × 10^(-3) J

We want to find the power output and we know that formula for power is;

P = workdone/time taken

Formula for time here is;

t = h/c

Where c is speed of light = 3 × 10^(8) m/s

Thus;

t = 0.25/(3 × 10^(8))

t = 8.333 × 10^(-10) s

Thus;

Power = (0.5 × 10^(-3))/(8.333 × 10^(-10))

Power ≈ 600,000 W

During an investigation, a scientist heated 123.6 g of copper carbonate till it decomposed to form a black residue. The total ma
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

See below explanation

Explanation:

The correspondent chemical reaction for copper carbonate decomposed by heat is:

CuCO₃ (s) → CuO (s) + CO₂ (g)

Considering all molar mass (MM) for each element ( we consider rounded numbers) :

MM CuCO₃ = 123 g/mol

MM CuO = 79 g/mol

MM CO₂ = 44 g/mol

Statement mentions that scientis heated 123.6 g of CuCO₃ (almost a MM), until a black residue is obtained, which weights 79.6 g : this solid residue is formed by CuO, and the remaining mass (approximatelly 44 g) belongs to teh second product, this is, CO₂; as it is a gas compund, it is not certainly included on the solid residue.

So, law of conservation mass is true for this case, since: 123.6 g = 79.6 g + 44 g. As explained, on the solid residue, we don not include the 44 g, which  "escaped" from our system, since it is a gas compound (CO₂)
