Answer:

The wavelength will be 4 cm, frequency will be 4.66 Hz and wave speed is 18.6 cm/sec

Explanation:

Given:

No. of crest = 13

No. of trough = 15

Time = 3 seconds

Hence, 1 crest or 1 trough = $\frac{1}{2}\lambda$

therefore,

13 C + 15 T = $28(\frac{1}{2}\lambda)$

= $14\lambda$

Time given 3 seconds

= $\frac{3}{14}s$

$\nu= \frac{14}{3}$

$\nu= 4.6 Hz \approx 5 Hz$

2 cm distance is travelled is time period

$\lambda = 4 cm$

Again wave will travel in 1 T = 4 cm

wave speed v = $\lambda\times\nu$

= $4\times\frac{14}{3}$

= 18.6 cm/s

A garden hose having with an internal diameter of 1.1 cm is connected to a (stationary) lawn sprinkler that consists merely of a

trapecia [35]

Answer:

Water leaves the sprinkler at a speed of 2.322 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given internal diameter of the garden $d_1=1.1cm$

Speed of water in the hose is $v_1=0.95m/sec$

Number of holes n = 22

Diameter of each holes $d_2=15cm$

According to continuity equation $A_1v_1=A_2v_2$

$d_1^2\times v_1=22\times d_2^2v_2$

$1.1^2\times 0.95=22\times 0.15^2\times v_2$

$v_2=2.322m/sec$

So water leaves the sprinkler at a speed of 2.322 m/sec

A 2.00 kg block on a horizontal floor is attached to a horizontal spring that is initially compressed 0.0300 m . The spring has

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

v = 0.41 m/s

Explanation:

In this case, the change in the mechanical energy, is equal to the work done by the fricition force on the block.
At any point, the total mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy plus the elastic potential energy.
So, we can write the following general equation, taking the initial and final values of the energies:

$\Delta K + \Delta U = W_{ffr} (1)$

Since the block and spring start at rest, the change in the kinetic energy is just the final kinetic energy value, Kf.
⇒ Kf = 1/2*m*vf² (2)
The change in the potential energy, can be written as follows:

$\Delta U = U_{f} - U_{o} = \frac{1}{2} * k * (x_{f} ^{2} - x_{0} ^{2} ) (3)$

where k = force constant = 815 N/m

xf = final displacement of the block = 0.01 m (taking as x=0 the position

for the spring at equilibrium)

x₀ = initial displacement of the block = 0.03 m

Regarding the work done by the force of friction, it can be written as follows:

$W_{ffr} = - \mu_{k}* F_{n} * \Delta x (4)$

where μk = coefficient of kinettic friction, Fn = normal force, and Δx =

horizontal displacement.

Since the surface is horizontal, and no acceleration is present in the vertical direction, the normal force must be equal and opposite to the force due to gravity, Fg:
Fn = Fg= m*g (5)
Replacing (5) in (4), and (3) and (4) in (1), and rearranging, we get:

$\frac{1}{2} * m* v^{2} = W_{ffr} - \Delta U = W_{ffr} - (U_{f} -U_{o}) (6)$

$\frac{1}{2} * m* v^{2} = (- \mu_{k}* m*g* \Delta x) -\frac{1}{2} * k * (x_{f} ^{2} - x_{0} ^{2} ) (7)$

Replacing by the values of m, k, g, xf and x₀, in (7) and solving for v, we finally get:

$\frac{1}{2} * 2.00 kg* v^{2} = (-0.4*2.00 kg*9.8m/s2*0.02m) +( (\frac{1}{2} *815 N/m)* (0.03m)^{2} - (0.01m)^{2}) = -0.1568 J + 0.326 J (8)$

$v =\sqrt{(0.326-0.1568} = 0.41 m/s (9)$
