A string is vibrating between two posts as shown above. Students are to determine the speed of the wave within this string. They

have already measured the amount of time necessary for the wave to oscillate up and down. The students must also take what other measurements to determine the speed of the wave?
A. The distance between the two posts.
B. The amplitude of the wave
C. The tension in the string
D. The amplitude of the wave and the tension in the string
E. The distance between the two posts, the amplitude of the wave, and the tension in the string

Answer:

The distance between two posts

Explanation:

As the students have already measured the amount of time necessary for the wave to oscillate up and down that is on the string between two posts,They have to measure the speed of the wave.

        ie  v=fλ

<em>They have to measure distance between the posts. </em>

Because wavelength is equal to the distance between the posts ie full length of string.

The frequency of the wave is calculated by

               f= 1/T

Where is the time period which the students have calculated ie the amount of time taken to oscillate up and down,

Thus the wave speed is calculated using formula

            v=λ/T

Calculate the potential energy of a body of a mass 2kg held 4 meters above the ground if g=10m/s?​
Drupady [299]

Answer:

16000

Explanation:

Mass(m)=2Kg (1kg= 1ooo g then 2 kg=2000 g)

Velocity(v)= 4 meter

Acceleration due to gravity (g)=10m/s

We know that,

P.E= 1/2 mv^2

or, 1/2 × 2ooo × 4^2

or, 1/2×2000 ×16

or, 2000×8

Therefore= 16000

You are comparing two diffraction gratings using two different lasers: a green laser and a red laser. You do these two experimen
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

a. (a) grating A has more lines/mm; (b) the first maximum less than 1 meter away from the center

Explanation:

Let  n₁ and n₂ be no of lines per unit length  of grating A and B respectively.

λ₁ and λ₂ be wave lengths of green and red respectively , D be distance of screen and d₁ and d₂ be distance between two slits of grating A and B ,

Distance of first maxima for green light

= λ₁ D/ d₁

Distance of first maxima for red light

= λ₂ D/ d₂

Given that

λ₁ D/ d₁ = λ₂ D/ d₂

λ₁ / d₁ = λ₂ / d₂

λ₁ / λ₂  = d₁ / d₂

But

λ₁  <  λ₂

d₁ < d₂

Therefore no of lines per unit length of grating A will be more because

no of lines per unit length  ∝ 1 / d

If grating B is illuminated with green light first maxima will be at distance

λ₁ D/ d₂

As λ₁ < λ₂

λ₁ D/ d₂ < λ₂ D/ d₂

λ₁ D/ d₂ < 1 m

In this case position of first maxima will be less than 1 meter.

Option a is correct .

A tennis ball is thrown into
liraira [26]

Answer:

Velocity (v) is a vector quantity that measures displacement (or change in position, Δs) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation v = Δs/Δt. Speed (or rate, r) is a scalar quantity that measures the distance traveled (d) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation r = d/Δt.
