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

Calculate the momentum of a 1,500 kg car traveling at 6 m/s.

mamaluj [8]

Answer: 9000 kgm/s

Explanation:

Mass of car = 1500 kg

Speed by which car moves = 6 m/s. Momentum of the car = ?

Recall that:

Linear momentum = Mass x Speed

= 1500kg x 6m/s

= 9000 kgm/s

Thus, the linear momentum of the car is 9000 kgm/s

A hot air balloon is on the ground, 200 feet from an observer. The pilot decides to ascend at 100 ft/min. How fast is the angle

liq [111]

Answer:

0.0031792338 rad/s

Explanation:

$\theta$ = Angle of elevation

y = Height of balloon

Using trigonometry

$tan\theta=y\dfrac{y}{200}\\\Rightarrow y=200tan\theta$

Differentiating with respect to t we get

$\dfrac{dy}{dt}=\dfrac{d}{dt}200tan\theta\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dy}{dt}=200sec^2\theta\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}\\\Rightarrow 100=200sec^2\theta\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{100}{200sec^2\theta}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{2}cos^2\theta$

Now, with the base at 200 ft and height at 2500 ft

The hypotenuse is

$h=\sqrt{200^2+2500^2}\\\Rightarrow h=2507.98\ ft$

Now y = 2500 ft

$cos\theta=\dfrac{200}{h}\\\Rightarrow cos\theta=\dfrac{200}{2507.98}=0.07974$

$\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.07974^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=0.0031792338\ rad/s$

The angle is changing at 0.0031792338 rad/s
