Answer:

The speed increases by square root 2 times.

Explanation:

Let the wave velocity initially be 'v' with tension in the string as 'T' of mass 'm'.

Given:

Initial length of the string (L₁) = L

Final length of the string (L₂) = 2L

Wave velocity in a stretched string of length 'L' is given as:

v=\sqrt{\frac{LT}{m}}

From the above equation we can conclude that if tension 'T' and mass 'm' remains the same, the wave velocity is directly proportional to the square root of length of the stretched string. Therefore,

v=k\sqrt L\\\\\frac{v_1}{\sqrt{L_1}}=\frac{v_2}{\sqrt{L_2}}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for v₂ in terms of v₁. This gives,

v_2=\frac{v}{\sqrt{L}}\times \sqrt{2L}\\\\v_2=\sqrt2 v

Therefore, the speed of the wave is increased by square root 2 times.

What is the speed of a car traveling 100 m in 20 s?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer: To answer this question, we will need the following equation: SPEED = DISTANCE/TIME (A multiplication and division triangle will be shown)i) The speed of the car is calculated by doing 100 metres/ 20 seconds which gives us 5 metres per second. ii) Rearranging the equation earlier, we can make the distance the subject of the equation so that we get SPEED x TIME = DISTANCE. We worked out the speed and the time was given as 1 minute 40 seconds but we cannot plug in the numbers yet as the time has to be converted to units of seconds (because our speed is in meters per second). 1 minute 40 seconds = 60 seconds + 40 seconds = 100 secondsWe then plug in the numbers to get the distance travelled = 5 metres per second x 100 seconds = 500 metres.

stira [4]

Answer:

i) 24.5 m/s

ii) 30,656 m

iii) 89,344 m

Explanation:

Desde una altura de 120 m se deja caer un cuerpo. Calcule a 2.5 s i) la velocidad que toma; ii) cuánto ha disminuido; iii) cuánto queda por hacer

i) Los parámetros dados son;

Altura inicial, s = 120 m

El tiempo en caída libre = 2.5 s

De la ecuación de caída libre, tenemos;

v = u + gt

Dónde:

u = Velocidad inicial = 0 m / s

g = Aceleración debida a la gravedad = 9.81 m / s²

t = Tiempo de caída libre = 2.5 s

Por lo tanto;

v = 0 + 9.8 × 2.5 = 24.5 m / s

ii) El nivel que el cuerpo ha alcanzado en 2.5 segundos está dado por la relación

s = u · t + 1/2 · g · t²

= 0 × 2.5 + 1/2 × 9.81 × 2.5² = 30.656 m

iii) La altura restante = 120 - 30.656 = 89.344 m.
