A circus performer stretches a tightrope between two towers. He strikes one end of the rope and sends a wave along it toward the

other tower. He notes that it takes the wave 0.775 s to reach the opposite tower, 20.0 m away. If a 1 meter length of the rope has a mass of 0.300 kg, find the tension in the tightrope. N

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

      Distance (s) = 20 m

       time (t) = 0.775 s

Also, it is given that mass per 1 meter length (m) = 0.300 kg

Formula to calculate the velocity is as follows.

        Velocity (v) = \frac{s}{t}

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

              v = \frac{s}{t}

                 = \frac{20 m}{0.775 s}

                 = 25.80 m/s

We know that,

              v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}

Taking square on both the sides, the formula will become as follows.

                      T = mv^{2}

                         = 0.3 kg \times 25.80          

                         = 199.692 N

Therefore, we can conclude that tension in the given tightrope is equal to 199.692 N .

What is the magnitude of δv12 if the bulb is removed from the socket (i.e. the circuit is not closed)?
andreev551 [17]

Since the circuit is incomplete or not closed, no current flows in the circuit. as per ohm's law , Voltage is directly proportional to current and is given as

V = Voltage = i R where i = current , R = resistance

as no current flows in the circuit, i = 0

the resistance R can not be zero. hence

V = 0 (R)

V = 0 Volts

so the magnitude of the Voltage is zero Volts

Alice climbs 100 meters directly up the face of a cliff to reach the summit. Her friend Peter hikes the long way around taking a
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Alice Distance = 100 meters

Peter's Distance = 3 km

Alice Displacement and Peter's displacement are both 100 meters upwards.

Explanation:

To solve this question, we have to first define distance and displacement.

Distance is simply the measurement of the sum of all paths travelled from one point to another while displacement is measurement of the shortest distance from initial point to final point.

Now, Alice and Peter are moving from the same point.

Alice distance travelled is 100 meters.

Also, her displacement will be 100 meters because it is the shortest distance to the summit of the cliff.

Now, for Peter, he decides to take a longer route which is 3 km in distance.

However, the shortest path which is the displacement is still 100 meters.

Thus, Peter's displacement is 100 meters.

Not every lightning strike produces thunder. a. Trueb.False
podryga [215]

Answer: The given statement is false.

Explanation:

Lightening is defined as steady expansion of air within and surrounding path due to the sudden increase in pressure and temperature that leads to emission of lightning.

Basically, lightning is a state of plasma in which the molecules are very rapidly striking with each other as it also contains positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons.

Lightning always leads to the production of thunder.

Therefore, we can conclude that the statement not every lightning strike produces thunder, is false.

A 300.0-kg speedboat is moving across a lake at 35.0 m/s. what is the momentum of the speedboat?
alexandr402 [8]
The momentum (n) of object is the product its mass (m) and velocity (v).
                                      n = m x v
Substituting the known values, 
                                      n = (300 kg) x (35 m/s) 
Thus, the value of the momentum is 10,500 kg m/s.
