Answer:

B) Faster than before

Explanation:

By the time you begin to wiggle the string more rapidly you are indirectly increasing the number of cycles of the generated wave per second. This means that you are increasing the frequency of the generated wave.

Recall that the frequency of a travelling wave depends on the source of the wave.  You generating the wave  are the source of the wave.

The general relationship between velocity, frequency and wavelength is given by equation (1);

v=\lambda f.....................(1)

This shows a linear and direct relationship between velocity v and frequency f. That is to say that when frequency increases, velocity will also increase and vice versa.

As long as other factors such as the tension in the string remains constant, wiggling at a more rapid rate increases the frequency and which also increases the velocity, causing the wave to travel faster than before.

Consider the numbers 23.68 and 4.12. The sum of these numbers has ____ significant figures, and the product of these numbers has
damaskus [11]

Answer:multiplying will give us 7 significant figures and addition will give us 3 significant figures

Explanation:

After multiplying the two numbers they resulting value will give a value in its 4 decimal places because both given values are in 2 decimal places. The 4 dp is gotten by the addition of the decimal places of both given numbers (2+2) and

The result of its addition will give us a value in its 1dp and 3 significant figures since the addition of 23.68 and 4.12 will give us 27.8

The take-up reel of a cassette tape has an average radius of 1.5 cm. Find the length of tape (in meters) that passes around the
Rudik [331]

Answer:

 1.28 m

Explanation:

Given;

Radius, r = 1.5 cm =  0.015 m

Time, t = 19 s

Average angular speed = 4.5 rad/s

Consider a point when the tape is moving at a constant velocity along the circumference of the circular reel of radius  r. The linear velocity  v at this point is given by;

                                      v = rω                           ----(1)

Where

v is the linear velocity of the circular motion

r is the radius of the reel

ω is the the angular velocity.

At a point the tap undergoes a linear motion before passing round the reel of the cassette. The linear velocity v at this point is given by;

                                v = L/t                          ----(2)

where;

v is the velocity of the linear motion

L is the length of the tape (distance covered by the tape)

t is the time taken

Equating equation(1) and equation (2)

                       L/t = rω

                       L = rωt

Substituting the given values,

                       L = 0.015 × 4.5 × 19

                       L = 1.2825 m

                       L = 1.28 m

An electric water heater consumes 2.5 kW for 1.9 h per day.
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The cost of running the electric water heater for one year is 55.2391 $

Explanation:

The simple rule of 3 helps to quickly solve proportionality problems when you have three known values ​​and one unknown. If two quantities are directly proportional (that is, when multiplying or dividing one of them by a number, the other is multiplied or divided respectively by the same number) the rule of three can be applied as follows:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So: x=\frac{c*b}{a}

where a, b and c are the known values ​​and x is the value you want to find out.

In this case, you can first apply the following rule of three: if 2.5 kW are consumed in 1.9 hours, in 1 hour how many kW are consumed?

kWh=\frac{1 h*2.5 kW}{1.9 h}

kWh=1.316

So an electric water heater consumes 1.316 kWh in one day. You apply another simple rule of three: if the heater in 1 day consumes 1.316 kWh, in 365 days (1 year) how many kWh are consumed?

kWh=\frac{365 days*1.316 kWh}{1 day}

kWh= 480.34

So an electric water heater consumes 480.34 kWh in a year.

If 1 kWh costs 11.5 cents, 480.34 kWh how many cents does it cost?

cost=\frac{480.34 kWh*11.5 cents}{1 kWh}

cost= 5,523.91 cents

Finally, if 100 cents is equal to 1 dollar, 5,523.91 cents, how many dollars are equal?

cost=\frac{5,5523.91 cents*1 dollar}{100 cents}

cost= 55.2391 $

<u><em> The cost of running the electric water heater for one year is 55.2391 $</em></u>

Given that the electromagnetic force is far stronger than gravity on a per-particle basis, why doesn't the electromagnetic force
Kaylis [27]

Explanation:

The electro magnetic force is given by

F = \frac{k.q_{1}.q_{2}}{r^{2}}

where q_{1} and q_{2} are charged particles

           k =Coulombs constant

          r = distance between two charges

And gravitational force is given by

F = \frac{G.m_{1}.m_{2}}{r^{2}}

where m_{1} and m_{2} are masses

           G =Garvitation constant

          r = distance between two masses

Now since the planets, stars and galaxies are electrically neutral, therefore they have zero electrical charge and so electro magnetic forces have no affect on  these planets, stars and heavenly bodies.

     Whereas the masses of the heavenly bodies are very large, so they are largely affected by the gravitational force since Gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of a body.

Therefore, though the electromagnetic force is stronger than the gravitational force, the electromagnetic force does not dominate the forces in the heavenly bodies as they as not electrically charged.
