A wave pulse travels down a slinky. The mass of the slinky is m = 0.87 kg and is initially stretched to a length L = 6.8 m. The

wave pulse has an amplitude of A = 0.23 m and takes t = 0.478 s to travel down the stretched length of the slinky. The frequency of the wave pulse is f = 0.48 Hz.
1) What is the speed of the wave pulse? m/s2) What is the tension in the slinky?N3) What is the wavelength of the wave pulse?mPLEASE, CLEARLY WORK IT OUT CORRECTLY..THNKS

Answer:

1. v=14.2259\ m.s^{-1}

2. F_T=25.8924\ N

3. \lambda=29.6373\ m

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of slinky, m=0.87\ kg
  • length of slinky, L=6.8\ m
  • amplitude of wave pulse, A=0.23\ m
  • time taken by the wave pulse to travel down the length, t=0.478\ s
  • frequency of wave pulse, f=0.48\ Hz=0.48\ s^{-1}

1.

\rm Speed\ of\ wave\ pulse=Length\ of\ slinky\div time\ taken\ by\ the\ wave\ to\ travel

v=\frac{6.8}{0.478}

v=14.2259\ m.s^{-1}

2.

<em>Now, we find the linear mass density of the slinky.</em>

\mu=\frac{m}{L}

\mu=\frac{0.87}{6.8}\ kg.m^{-1}

We have the relation involving the tension force as:

v=\sqrt{\frac{F_T}{\mu} }

14.2259=\sqrt{\frac{F_T}{\frac{0.87}{6.8}} }

202.3774=F_T\times \frac{6.8}{0.87}

F_T=25.8924\ N

3.

We have the relation for wavelength as:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

\lambda=\frac{14.2259}{0.48}

\lambda=29.6373\ m

Three heavy rods are all made of the same uniform material. These rods have lengths 3 m, 4 m, and 5 m, and compose the sides of
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

[ 2.67 , 1 ] m

Explanation:

Given:-

- The side lengths of the rods are as follows:

                             a = 4 m , b = 4 m , c = 5 m

                             a = Base , b = Perpendicular , c = Hypotenuse

- All rods are made of same material with uniform density. With

Find the coordinates of the center of mass of the triangle.

Solution:-

- The center of mass of any triangle is at the intersection of its medians.

- So let’s say we have a triangle with vertices at points (0,0) , (a,0) , and (0,b).

  • Median from (0,0) to midpoint (a/2,b/2) of opposite side has equation:

                                       bx−ay=0

  • Median from (a,0) to midpoint (0,b/2) of opposite side has equation:

                                      bx+2ay=ab

  • Median from (0,b) to midpoint (a/2,0) of opposite side has equation:

                                     2bx+ay=ab

  • Solve all three equations simultaneously:

                                     bx−ay=0  , bx = ay

                                     ay + 2ay = ab , 3ay = ab , y = b/3

                                     bx = b/3

                                     x = a / 3

  • So the distance from the median to each leg of the triangle is 1/3 length of other leg.

- So the coordinates of the centroid for right angle triangle would be:

                                   [ 2a/3 , b/3 ]

                                   [ 2.67 , 1 ] m

A 60 kg person sits in a chair. How much does the earth pull on the person? (Acceleration due to gravity is -10m/s2) F = mxa → F
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

<em>600N(downwards)</em>

Explanations

<em>600N(downwards)</em>

Mas of the person = 60kg

Acceleration due to gravity = -10m/s²

To get the earths pull on the person, we will use the Newton second law of motion;

Force = mass * acceleration;

Force = 60 * -10

Force- -600N

<em>Hence the earth gravitational pull on the person is 600N(downwards). It is downwards due to the negative sign.</em>

Calculate the change in the energy of an electron that moves from the n = 3 level to the n = 2 level. What type of light is emit
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Red light

Explanation:

The energy emitted during an electron transition in an atom of hydrogen is given by

E=E_0 (\frac{1}{n_2^2}-\frac{1}{n_1^2})

where

E_0 = 13.6 eV is the energy of the lowest level

n1 and n2 are the numbers corresponding to the two levels

Here we have

n1 = 3

n2 = 2

So the energy of the emitted photon is

E=(13.6) (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})=1.9 eV

Converting into Joules,

E=(1.9 eV)(1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV)=3.0\cdot 10^{-19} J

And now we can find the wavelength of the emitted photon by using the equation

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where h is the Planck constant and c is the speed of light. Solving for \lambda,

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34})(3\cdot 10^8)}{3.0\cdot 10^{-19}}=6.63\cdot 10^{-7} m = 663 nm

And this wavelength corresponds to red light.
