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

Blocks A and B are identical metal blocks. Initially block A is neutral, and block B has a net charge of 7.0 nC. Using insulatin
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Block A will have a final charge of 3.5nC.

Explanation:

This is because at the point of contact with Block B, which is electrically positive, the electrons in Block A will be attracted to the excess 'unpaired' protons in block B. Hence, the electrons will flow into Block B causing unpaired protons to remain in Block A.

This process is called Charging by Conduction.

This charging process will continue until the charges are evenly distributed between both objects.

In case you're wondering, "<em>how's all this possible within a few seconds</em>?", remember that electrons travel very fast and so, this process is a rather rapid one.

Which one of the following is not equivalent to 2.50 miles?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Choice C is not equivalent to 2.50 miles.

Explanation:

The given data is now converted into feet, inches, kilometers, yards and centimeters:

mi - ft

x = (2.50\,mi)\cdot \left(5280\,\frac{ft}{mi} \right)

x = 13200\,ft

x = 1.320\times 10^{4}\,ft (Choice A)

mi - in

x = (2.50\,mi)\cdot \left(5280\,\frac{ft}{mi} \right)\cdot \left(12\,\frac{in}{ft} \right)

x = 158400\,in

x = 1.584\times 10^{5} (Choice B)

mi - km

x = (2.50\,mi)\cdot \left(1.61\,\frac{km}{mi} \right)

x = 4.025\,km (Different from Choice C)

mi - yd

x = (2.50\,mi)\cdot \left(5280\,\frac{ft}{mi}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{3}\,\frac{yd}{ft}  \right)

x = 4400\,yd

x = 4.40\times 10^{3}\,yd (Choice D)

mi - cm

x = (2.50\,mi)\cdot \left(1.61\,\frac{km}{mi} \right)\cdot \left(100000\,\frac{cm}{km}\right)

x = 402500\,cm

x = 4.025\times 10^{5}\,cm (Choice E)

Choice C is not equivalent to 2.50 miles.

<h3>16.</h3>

Your answer is correct.

___

<h3>17.</h3>

The fractional change in resistance is equal to the given temperature coefficient multiplied by the change in temperature.

  R = R₀×(1 + α×ΔT)

  R = (10.0 Ω)×(1 + 0.004×(65 -20)) = 11.8 Ω
