A long string is pulled so that the tension in it increases by a factor of four. If the change in length is negligible, by what

factor does the wave speed change?

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to wave velocity as a function of the tension and linear mass density. This is

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

Here

v = Wave speed

T = Tension

\mu = Linear mass density

From this proportion we can realize that the speed of the wave is directly proportional to the square of the tension

v \propto \sqrt{T}

Therefore, if there is an increase in tension of 4, the velocity will increase the square root of that proportion

v \propto \sqrt{4} = 2  

The factor that the wave speed change is 2.

2. An 873 kg dragster accelerates at a rate of 44.6 m/s during a race.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

<h3>38,673.9N</h3>

Explanation:

According to newton's second law:

Force = mass * acceleration

Given

Mass = 873kg

acceleration = 44.66m/s²

Magnitude of the force is expressed as;

F = ma

F = 873 * 44.6

F = 38,673.9N

<em>Hence the magnitude of the net force exerted on the dragster during this time is 38,673.9N</em>

Calculate the location xcm of the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system. Use a coordinate system in which the center of the Ea
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The center of mass of the Earth-Moon system is 4.673 kilometers away from center of Earth.

Explanation:

Let suppose that planet and satellite can be treated as particles. The masses of Earth and Moon (m_{E}, m_{M}) are 5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg and 7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg, respectively. The distance between centers is 384,403 kilometers. The location of the center of mass can be found by using weighted averages:

\bar x = \frac{x_{E}\cdot m_{E}+x_{M}\cdot m_{M}}{m_{E}+m_{M}}

If x_{E} = 0\,km and x_{M} = 384,403\,km, then:

\bar x = \frac{(0\,km)\cdot (5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg)+(384,403\,km)\cdot (7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg)}{5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg+7.349\times 10^{22}\,kg}

\bar x = 4.673\,km

The center of mass of the Earth-Moon system is 4.673 kilometers away from center of Earth.

Rom4ik [11]
The three branches of science are life, earth, and physical science.
Life science deals with living organisms, so, biology is the most important of these sciences, although there are many.
Earth science deals with Planet Earth, studying its atmosphere, lithosphere, etc.
Physical science studies the inorganic world.
