Answer:

36 N

Explanation:

Velocity of a standing wave in a stretched string is:

v = √(T/ρ),

where T is the tension and ρ is the mass per unit length.

300 m/s = √(T / 4×10⁻⁴ kg/m)

T = 36 N

A book on a 2-meter high shelf has a mass of 0.4 kg. What is its potential energy?

poizon [28]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 7.84 \ Joules}}$

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is:

$PE=m*g*h$

where <em>m </em>is the mass, <em>g</em> is the gravitational acceleration, and <em>h</em> is the height.

The mass of the book is 0.4 kilograms. The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s². The height of the book is 2 meters.

$m=0.4 \ kg \\g=9.8 \ m/s^2 \\h=2\ m$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$PE=(0.4 \ kg)(9.8 \ m/s^2)(2 \ m)$

Multiply the first two numbers.

0.4 kg*9.8 m/s²= 3.92 kg*m/s²
If we convert the units now, the problem will be much easier later on.
1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 Newton. So, our answer of 3.92 kg*m/s² is equal to 3.92 N

$PE=(3.92 \ N )(2 \ m)$

Multiply.

3.92 N* 2 m=7.84 N*m
1 Newton meter is equal to 1 Joule (this is why we converted the units).
Our answer is equal to<u> 7.84 Joules.</u>

$PE=7.84 \ J$

Answer:

The time constant is 1.049.

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge $q{t}= 0.65 q_{0}$

We need to calculate the time constant

Using expression for charging in a RC circuit

$q(t)=q_{0}[1-e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}]$

Where, $\dfrac{t}{RC}$ = time constant

Put the value into the formula

$0.65q_{0}=q_{0}[1-e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}]$

$1-e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}=0.65$

$e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}=0.35$

$-\dfrac{t}{RC}=ln (0.35)$

$-\dfrac{t}{RC}=-1.049$

$\dfrac{t}{RC}=1.049$

Hence, The time constant is 1.049.

Why centre of mass equal to centre of gravity

Maksim231197 [3]

Because mass and distance determine gravity, so the more mass you have, the more gravity.
