To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Wavelength, The relationship between speed, voltage and linear density as well as frequency. By definition the speed as a function of the tension and the linear density is given by

V = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho}}

Where,

T = Tension

\rho = Linear density

Our data are given by

Tension , T = 70 N

Linear density , \rho = 0.7 kg/m

Amplitude , A = 7 cm = 0.07 m

Period , t = 0.35 s

Replacing our values,

V = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho}}

V = \sqrt{\frac{70}{0.7}

V = 10m/s

Speed can also be expressed as

V = \lambda f

Re-arrange to find \lambda

\lambda = \frac{V}{f}

Where,

f = Frequency,

Which is also described in function of the Period as,

f = \frac{1}{T}

f = \frac{1}{0.35}

f = 2.86 Hz

Therefore replacing to find \lambda

\lambda = \frac{10}{2.86}

\lambda = 3.49m

Therefore the wavelength of the waves created in the string is 3.49m

A diffraction grating has 500 slits/mm. What is the longest wavelength of light for which there will be a third-order maximum?
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The longest wavelength of light  is 666.7 nm

Explanation:

The general form of the grating equation is

mλ = d(sinθi + sinθr)

where;

m is third-order maximum = 3

λ is the wavelength,

d is the slit spacing (m/slit)

θi  is the incident angle

θr is the diffracted angle

Note: at longest wavelength, sinθi + sinθr = 1

λ = d/m

d = 1/500 slits/mm

λ = 1 mm/(500 *3) = 1mm/1500 = 666.7 X 10⁻⁶ mm = 666.7 nm

Therefore, the longest wavelength of light  is 666.7 nm

The propeller of a World War II fighter plane is 2.30 m in diameter. (a) What is its angular velocity in radians per second if i
Sergio [31]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter of fighter plane=2.3 m

Radius=r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{2.3}{2}=1.15 m

a.We have to find the angular velocity in radians per second if it spins=1200 rev/min

Frequency=\frac{1200}{60}=20 Hz

1 minute=60 seconds

Angular velocity=\omega=2\pi f

Angular velocity=2\times \frac{22}{7}\times 20=125.7 rad/s

b.We have to find the linear speed of its tip at this  angular velocity if the plane is stationary on the tarmac.

v=r\omega=1.15\times 125.7=144.56 m/s

c.Centripetal acceleration=\omega^2 r=(125.7)^2(1.15)=18170.56 m/s^2

Centripetal acceleration==\frac{18170.56\times g}{9.81}=1852.25 g m/s^2

Planet X is in a stable circular orbit around a star, as shown in the figure. Which of the following graphs best predicts the an
damaskus [11]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Angular momentum is the product of moment of inertia and angular velocity.

L = I × ω

Since the planet follows a stable circular orbit, I and ω are constant and non-zero.  Therefore, the angular momentum is constant and non-zero.
