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 .

Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling are called
Nikolay [14]

1. a. longitudinal waves.

There are two types of waves:

- Transverse waves: in transverse waves, the oscillations of the wave occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave

- Longitudinal waves: in longitudinal waves, the oscillations of the waves occur parallel to the direction in which the waves are travelling.

So, these types of waves are called longitudinal waves.


2. d. a medium

There are two types of waves:

- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field, and they can travel both in a medium and also in a vacuum (they do not need a medium to propagate)

- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, so they need a medium to propagate - therefore, the correct choice is d. a medium


3. a. AM/FM radio

Analogue signals consist of continuous signals, which vary in a continuous range of values. On the contrary, digital signals consist of discrete signals, which can assume only some discrete values. For AM and FM radios, signals are transmitted by using analogue signals.

Vapor pressure is related to the temperature of the liquid. user: in an open system, the vapor pressure is equal to the _____. i
iVinArrow [24]

Answer

-Directly;  outside air pressure

Vapor pressure is directly related to the temperature of the liquid. user: in an open system, the vapor pressure is equal to the outside air pressure.

Explanation;

-As the temperature of a system increases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules increases in both the liquid and gas phases.

-A higher average kinetic energy facilitates the escape of molecules from the liquid phase into the gas phase. At the same time, the rate of return of gas phase molecules to the liquid also increases. A new equilibrium point is reached at a higher gaseous vapor pressure. The increase in vapor pressure with temperature is exponential.
