Answer: 996m/s
Explanation:
Formula for calculating velocity of wave in a stretched string is
V = √T/M where;
V is the velocity of wave
T is tension
M is the mass per unit length of the wire(m/L)
Since the second wire is twice as far apart as the first, it will be L2 = 2L1
Let V1 and V2 be the speed of the shorter and longer wire respectively
V1 = √T/M1... 1
V2 = √T/M2... 2
Since V1 = 249m/s, M1 = m/L1 M2 = m/L2 = m/2L1
The equations will now become
249 = √T/(m/L1) ... 3
V2 = √T/(m/2L1)... 4
From 3,
249² = TL1/m...5
From 4,
V2²= 2TL1/m... 6
Dividing equation 5 by 6 we have;
249²/V2² = TL1/m×m/2TL1
{249/V2}² = 1/2
249/V2 = (1/2)²
249/V2 = 1/4
V2 = 249×4
V2 = 996m/s
Therefore the speed of the wave on the longer wire is 996m/s
It would be Thermal Radiation
Answer:
<h3>62.5N</h3>
Explanation:
The pressure at one end of the piston is equal to the pressure on the second piston.
Pressure = Force/Area
F1/A1 = F2/A2
Given
F1 = 250N
A1 = 2.0m²
A2 = 0.5m²
F2 = ?
Substituting the given values in the formula;
250/2 = F2/0.5
cross multiply
250*0.5 = 2F2
125 = 2F2
F2 = 125/2
F2 = 62.5N
Hence the force needed to lift this piston if the area of the second piston is 0.5 m^2 is 62.5N
