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

A glider with mass 0.24 kg sits on a frictionless horizontal air track, connected to a spring of negligible mass with force cons
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

v=2.556m/s

Explanation:

From the conservation of mechanical energy

K_{E1}+U_1=K_{E2}+U_2

\frac{1}{2}m*v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}*K*x_1^2=\frac{1}{2}m*v_2^2+\frac{1}{2}*K*x_2^2

x_2=0.08m

v_1=0 m/s

Solve to velocity v2

m*v_2^2=k*x_1^2-k*x_2^2

v^2=\frac{k}{m}*(x_1^2-x_2^2)

v^2=\frac{5.5N/m}{0.24kg}*(0.54m^2-0.080^2)

v=\sqrt{6.54m^2/s^2}=2.556m/s

Assume the ground is uniformly level. If the horizontal component a projectile's velocity is doubled, but the vertical component
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Time of flight = 2 x u sinα / g where u sinα is vertical component of projectile's velocity u .

So Time of flight = 2 x vertical component / g

vertical component = constant

g is also constant so

Time of flight will also be constant .

It will remain unchanged .

A uranium and iron atom reside a distance R = 44.10 nm apart. The uranium atom is singly ionized; the iron atom is doubly ionize
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

distance r from the uranium atom is 18.27 nm

Explanation:

given data

uranium and iron atom distance R = 44.10 nm

uranium atom = singly ionized

iron atom = doubly ionized

to find out

distance r from the uranium atom

solution

we consider here that uranium electron at distance = r

and electron between uranium and iron so here

so we can say electron and iron  distance = ( 44.10 - r ) nm

and we know single ionized uranium charge q2= 1.602 × 10^{-19} C

and charge on iron will be q3 = 2 × 1.602 × 10^{-19} C

so charge on electron is q1 =  - 1.602 × 10^{-19} C

and we know F = k\frac{q*q}{r^{2} }  

so now by equilibrium

Fu = Fi

k\frac{q*q}{r^{2} }  =  k\frac{q*q}{r^{2} }

put here k = 9*10^{9} and find r

9*10^{9}\frac{1.602 *10^{-19}*1.602 *10^{-19}}{r^{2} }  =  9*10^{9}\frac{1.602 *10^{-19}*1.602 *10^{-19}}{(44.10-r)^{2} }

\frac{1}{r^{2} } = \frac{2}{(44.10 -r)^2}

r = 18.27 nm

distance r from the uranium atom is 18.27 nm
