A 100 meter rope is 20 kg and is stretched with a tension of 20 newtons. If one end of the rope is vibrated with small amplitude

at 10Hz, what would the velocity of waves traveling down it be? What would the velocity be if it rained and the rope soaked up 5 kg of water?

Answer:

The velocity waves before rain is 10 m/s

The velocity of wave after the rope soaked up 5 kg more is 8.944 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Length of the rope, l = 100 m

Mass of the rope, m = 20 kg

Force due to tension in the rope, T_{r} = 20 N

Frequency of vibration in the rope, f = 10 Hz

Extra mass of the rope after being soaked in rain water, m' = 5 kg

Now,

In a rope, the wave velocity is given by:

v_{w} = \sqrt{\frac{T_{r}}{M_{d}}}         (1)

where

M_{d} = mass density

Mass density before soaking, M_{d} = \frac{m}{l} = \frac{20}{100} = 0.20

Mass density after being soaked, M_{d} = \frac{m + m'}{l} = \frac{25}{100} = 0.25

Initially, the velocity is given by using eqn (1):

v_{w} = \sqrt{\frac{20}{0.20}} = 10 m/s

The velocity after being soaked in rain:

v_{w} = \sqrt{\frac{20}{0.25}} = 8.944 m/s

OK. Here we go.
Watch closely:


Divide each side        
by  'mass' :                  <span>Momentum / mass  =  Speed </span>

What is the general relationship between earthquake epicenters and volcano positions along the Pacific coast of Mexico and Centr
yanalaym [24]

Geographically throughout this area of Mexico, Central America Caribbean is located the Cocos plate. This area is scientifically known as the Central American subduction zone.

In order for a volcano to form, there is usually a clash between the technical plates that generates the elevation of the ground and the connection with ducts that release the magma from the earth. If this entire area is a subduction area, it will also be a land stress release area where volcano lines will be formed, that is, it is a convergent plate boundary area

Onur drops a basketball from a height of 10m on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity has magnitude of 3.7 m/s^2. We want
denpristay [2]

Answer:

2.32 s

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion,

s = ut+g't²/2............................ Equation 1

Where s = distance, u = initial velocity, g' = acceleration due to gravity of  the moon, t = time.

Note: Since Onur drops the basket ball from a height, u = 0 m/s

Then,

s = g't²/2

make t the subject of the equation,

t = √(2s/g')...................... Equation 2

Given: s = 10 m, g' = 3.7 m/s²

Substitute this value into equation 2

t = √(2×10/3.7)

t = √(20/3.7)

t = √(5.405)

t = 2.32 s.

A concave spherical mirror has a radius of curvature of magnitude 20.0 cm. (a) Find the location of the image for object distanc
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

The radius of curvature of the mirror R = 20 cm

then the focal length f = R/2 = 10 cm

(a) From mirror formula

 1/f = 1/di + /1do

then the image distance

    di = fd_o / d_o - f

  = (10)(40) / 40-10

 = 30.76 cm

since the image distance is positive so the image is real

ii) when the object distance d_0=20 cm

 di = 10×20/ 20-10

= 20

Hence, the image must be  real

iii)when the object distance d_0 = 10

di = 10×10 / 10-10 =  ∞ (infinite)

the image will be formed at ∞

here also image will be real but diminished.
