Consider a string with a length of (47.5 A) cm tied at both end (like on a stringed instrument). If the frequency of the first h

armonic on the string is (245 B) Hz, determine the speed of the wave in the string. Post your answer in m/s and with 3 significant figures.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to wavelength as a function of frequency and speed, as well as to determine the wavelength as a function of length.

From the harmonic vibration generated we know that the total length of the string will be equivalent to a half of the wavelength, that is

L = \frac{\lambda}{2} \rightarrow \lambda = 2L

Where,

\lambda = Wavelength

Therefore the wavelength for us would be,

\lambda = 2*47.5cm = 95cm = 0.95m

From the relationship of speed, frequency and wavelength we know that

\lambda = \frac{v}{f} \rightarrow v = \lambda f

v = (0.95m)(245Hz)

v = 232.75 m/s

Therefore the speed of the wave is 232.75m/s

What is 8200 N/m2 expressed in kilopascals?
natima [27]
The S.I. unit for the measure of the pressure is the Pascal (Pa). 1 Pascal corresponds to
1 Pa = 1 N/m^2

We can convert the number given by the problem into Pascal:
8200 N/m^2 = 8200 Pa

And since 1 Pa = 10^{-3}kPa, we have
8200 Pa = 8200 \cdot 10^{-3}kPa =8.2 kPa

What will the magnitude of the field be if the 10 nc charge is replaced by a 20 nc charge? Assume the system is big enough to co
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Same magnitude of the 10 nc charge cause the electric field is external.

Explanation:

To do a better explanation, let's go and suppose we have an electric field of, 1300 N/C with a 10 nC charge.

As the system we are talking about is really big, and the charge is small, we can assume always if the charge is sitting right in the same point where the electric field is, then, the electric field would not suffer any kind of alteration in it's value. Therefore, no matter what value of the charge is sitting here, the electric field is independent of the charge, so it would not feel any alteration. However, the force that the charge is feeling would be stronger than in the first case.

F = qE

If charge is doubled, then the force would be bigger in the second case than in the first case, but electric field remain the same value.

What equation describes conservation of charge?
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The equation which describes conservation of charge is Q_{initial} - Q_{final } = 0

Explanation:

The law of conservation charge states that for an isolated system that sum of initial charges is equal to sum of final charges, that is the total charge is conserved.

let the sum of initial charges = Q_{initial}

let the sum of the final charges = Q_{final}

Q_{initial } = Q_{final}\\\\Q_{initial } - Q_{final} = 0

Therefore, the equation which describes conservation of charge is Q_{initial} - Q_{final } = 0

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

124.88 km/h

34.69 m/s

Explanation:

1633.8 km = 1633800 m

13 hours 4 minutes 58 seconds = 13 + 4/60 + 58/3600 = 13.083 hours

13 hours 4 minutes 58 seconds = 13*3600 + 4*60 + 58 = 47098 seconds

So the average speed in km/h is

1633.8 / 13.083 = 124.88 km/h

The average speed in m/s is

1633800 / 47098 = 34.69 m/s
