Answer:

a) 55m/s

b)10m

c) 0.18 sec

Explanation:

a) In order to find the speed of the waves on the string can, we use the formula, i.e

v = sqrt (T/ μ)

where,

T = tension in the string

μ = linear density

μ linear density can be calculated by:

μ= m/L => 0.15/ 5 => 0.03 kg/m

v = sqrt (T/ μ)

v = sqrt ((90 / 0.03)    

v=  55 m/s

therefore,  the speed of the waves on the string is 55m/s

b)   the wavelength of the standing wave produced can be determined by

λ = 2L /n ---->( n=1 because the string is vibrating to produce a standing wave at the fundamental frequency)

λ = 2 x 5 /1

λ = 10m

therefore,  the wavelength of the standing wave produced is 10m

c) in order to find the period, lets first determine the frequency of standing waves.

f= v/ λ

f= 55 / 10

f= 5.5 Hz

next is to take the inverse of frequency as you know it is inversely proportional to period T

T= 1/f

T= 1/5.5

T= 0.18 s

thus, the period of the standing wave is 0.18 sec

Why is the sky blue?
ladessa [460]

The sunlight of all colors passes through air, the blue part causes charged particles to oscillate faster than does the red part. More of the sunlight entering the atmosphere is blue than violet, however, and our eyes are somewhat more sensitive to blue light than to violet light, so the sky appears blue.

What total mass must be converted into energy
Eduardwww [97]

This question apparently wants you to get comfortable
with  E = m c² .  But I must say, this question is a lame
way to do it.

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
                                                    E = m c²

                           1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule  =  (m) (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²

Divide each side by (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²:

                         Mass = (1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                                   =  (1.03 / 9) x (10⁻¹³ ⁻ ¹⁶) (kg)

                                   =        1.144 x 10⁻³⁰  kg .    (choice-1)

This is roughly the mass of (1 and 1/4) electrons, so it seems
that it could never happen in nature.  The question is just an
exercise in arithmetic, and not a particularly interesting one.
______________________________________

Something like this could have been much more impressive:
 
The Braidwood Nuclear Power Generating Station in northeastern
Ilinois USA serves Chicago and northern Illinois with electricity.
<span>The station has two pressurized water reactors, which can generate
a net total of 2,242 megawatts at full capacity, making it the largest
nuclear plant in the state.
If the Braidwood plant were able to completely convert mass
to energy, how much mass would it need to convert in order
to provide the total electrical energy that it generates in a year,
operating at full capacity ?

Energy = (2,242 x 10⁶ joule/sec) x (86,400 sec/day) x (365 da/yr)

             =  (2,242 x 10⁶ x 86,400 x 365) joules

             =          7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules .

How much converted mass is that ?

                                           E  =  m c²

Divide each side by  c² :    Mass  =  E / c² .
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

              Mass = (7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                        =        0.786 kilogram ! ! !

THAT should impress us !  If I've done the arithmetic correctly,
then roughly  (1 pound  11.7 ounces) of mass, if completely
converted to energy, would provide all the energy generated
by the largest nuclear power plant in Illinois, operating at max
capacity for a year !

A dentist causes the bit of a high-speed drill to accelerate from an angular speed of 1.72 x 10^4 rad/s to an angular speed of 5
Leto [7]

Answer:

The bit take to reach its maximum speed of 8,42 x10^4 rad/s in an amount of 1.097 seconds.

Explanation:

ω1= 1.72x10^4 rad/sec

ω2= 5.42x10^4 rad/sec

ωmax= 8.42x10^4 rad/sec

θ= 1.72x10^4 rad

\alpha = \frac{w2^{2}-w1^{2}  }{2*(\theta2 - \theta1)}

α=7.67 x10^4 rad/sec²

t= ωmax / α

t= 8.42 x10^4 rad/sec  /  7.67 x10^4 rad/sec²

t=1.097 sec
