Answer:

91.017N

Explanation:

Parameters

L=4.67m, m=0.192kg, t = 0.794s, The pulse makes four trips down and back along the cord, we have 4 +4 =8 trips( to and fro)

so N= no of trips = 8, From  Wave speed(V) = N *L/t , we have :

V= 8*4.67/0.794 = 47.0529 m/s.

We compute the cords mass per length,  Let it be P

P = M/L = 0.192/4.67 = 0.04111 kg/m

From  T = P * V^2  where T = Tension, we have

T = 0.04111 * (47.0529)^2

T =  91.017N.

The tension in the cord is 91.017N

Why does a lunar eclipse last for a few hours whereas a solar eclipse only lasts for a few minutes?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

The type and length of a lunar eclipse depend on the Moon's proximity to either node of its orbit. ... A total lunar eclipse can last up to nearly 2 hours, while a total solar eclipse lasts only up to a few minutes at any given place, due to the smaller size of the Moon's shadow.

Dana is on a train traveling at a speed of 20 km/h. Dana walks from the front of the train to the back of the train at a speed o
Maslowich

Answer:

16km/h

Explanation:

Vt=20km/h ---train speed

Vd=4km/h

Donas speed relative to ground is:

Vrd=Vt-Vd

Donas is moving in opposite direction of train .

Vrd=20km/h-4km/h

Vrd=16km/h

(a) Calculate the absolute pressure at the bottom of a freshwater lake at a point whose depth is 30.0 m. Assume the density of t
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

(a) The absolute pressure at the bottom of the freshwater lake is 395.3 kPa

(b) The force exerted by the water on the window is 36101.5 N

Explanation:

(a)

The absolute pressure is given by the formula

P = P_{o} + \rho gh

Where P is the absolute pressure

P_{o} is the atmospheric pressure

\rho is the density

g is the acceleration due to gravity (Take g = 9.8 m/s^{2} )

h is the height

From the question

h = 30.0 m

\rho = 1.00 × 10³ kg/m³ = 1000 kg/m³

P_{o} = 101.3 kPa = 101300 Pa

Using the formula

P = P_{o} + \rho gh

P = 101300 + (1000×9.8×30.0)

P = 101300 + 294000

P =395300 Pa

P = 395.3 kPa

Hence, the absolute pressure at the bottom of the freshwater lake is 395.3 kPa

(b)

For the force exerted

From

P = F/A

Where P is the pressure

F is the force

and A is the area

Then, F = P × A

Here, The area will be area of the window of the underwater vehicle.

Diameter of the circular window = 34.1 cm = 0.341 m

From Area = πD²/4

Then, A = π×(0.341)²/4 = 0.0913269 m²

Now,

From F = P × A

F = 395300 × 0.0913269

F = 36101.5 N

Hence, the force exerted by the water on the window is 36101.5 N

The membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 5.3 x 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.1 x 10-8 m. A
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

2.1\times 10^{-12} c

Explanation:

We are given that

Surface area of membrane=5.3\times 10^{-9} m^2

Thickness of membrane=1.1\times 10^{-8} m

Assume that membrane behave like a parallel plate capacitor.

Dielectric constant=5.9

Potential difference between surfaces=85.9 mV

We have to find the charge resides on the outer surface of membrane.

Capacitance between parallel plate capacitor is given by

C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}

Substitute the values then we get

Capacitance between parallel plate capacitor=\frac{5.9\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 5.3\times 10^{-9}}{1.1\times 10^{-8}}

C=0.25\times 10^{-12}F

V=85.9 mV=85.9\times 10^{-3}

Q=CV

Q=0.25\times 10^{-12}\times 85.9\times 10^{3}=2.1\times 10^{-12} c

Hence, the charge resides on the outer surface=2.1\times 10^{-12} c
