Answer:

(a) The speed of the wave, v is 4.2 m/s

(b) Wavelength of the wave, λ is 0.35 m

(c) mathematical expression of the wave, Y = 0.036sin(5.71πx - 24πt)

Explanation:

Given;

tension on the string, T = 15 N

Linear density, μ = 0.85 kg/m

amplitude of the wave, A = 3.6 cm = 0.036 m

frequency of the wave, f = 12 Hz

(a) The speed of the wave, v is calculated as;

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{15}{0.85} }\\\\v = 4.2 \ m/s

(b) Wavelength of the wave, λ

v = fλ

λ = v / f

λ = 4.2 / 12

λ = 0.35 m

(c) mathematical expression of the wave;

Y = Asin(\frac{2\pi x}{\lambda} -\omega t)\\\\Y = Asin(\frac{2\pi x}{\lambda} -2\pi f t)\\\\Y = 0.036sin (\frac{2\pi }{0.35}x -2\pi *12 t)\\\\Y = 0.036sin (5.71 \pi x - 24 \pi t)

Maru [420]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{h. 20 000 N}}  

Explanation:

Force is the change in momentum over time

F = Δp/Δt

1. Calculate the change in momentum

p₁ = mv₁ = 1000 kg × 10 m/s = 10 000 kg·m·s⁻¹

p₂ = 0

Δp = p₂ - p₁= (0 - 10 000) kg·m·s⁻¹ = -10 000 kg·m·s⁻¹

2. Calculate the force

\begin{array}{rcl}F & = & \dfrac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}\\\\& = & \dfrac{-10 000 \text{ kg$\cdot$m$\cdot$ s}^{-1}}{\text{ 0.5 s}}\\\\& = & \textbf{-20 000 N}\\\end{array}\\\text{The negative sign shows that the force is exerted opposite to the direction of motion.}\\\text{The magnitude of the force is $\large \boxed{\textbf{20 000 N}}$}

Which one of the following concepts explains why heavy nuclei do not follow the N = Z line (or trend) in the figure? A Transmuta
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Option B. Coulomb Repulsion

Explanation:

The reason for the heavy nucleus not being able to follow the trend or the N= Z line is because of the fact that as the atomic number, Z of an atom increases, the number of protons inside the atom also increases. Since the neutrons are charge less particles whereas the protons are positively charged particle and hence as these increases in number there is an increase in the repulsive force between the like charges, i.e., positively charged protons which is Coulomb repulsion.

How many kWh of energy does a 550-W toaster use in the morning if it is in operation for a total of 5.0 min? At a cost of 9.0 ce
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

0.0458 kWh

6.5736 cents

Explanation:

The formula for electric energy is given as

E = Pt................. Equation 1

Where E = Electric energy, P = Electric power, t = time.

Given; P = 550 W, t = 5 min = (5/60) h = 0.083 h.

Substituting into equation 1

E = 550(0.083)

E = 45.83 Wh

E = (45.83/1000) kWh

E = 0.0458 kWh.

Hence the kWh = 0.0458 kWh.

If the makes a toast four morning per week, and the are Four weeks in a month.

Total number days he makes toast in a month = 4×4 = 16 days.

t = 16×0.083 h = 1.328 h.

Total energy used in a month = 550(1.328)

E = 730.4 Wh

E = 0.7304 kWh.

If the cost of energy is 9.0 cents per kWh,

Then for 0.7304 kWh  the cost will be 9.0(0.7304) = 6.5736 cents.

Hence this would add 6.5736 cents to his monthly electric bill
