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

A mountain climber, in the process of crossing between two cliffs by a rope, pauses to rest. She weighs 514 N. As the drawing sh
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Part a)

T_L = 155.4 N

Part b)

T_R = 379 N

Explanation:

As we know that mountain climber is at rest so net force on it must be zero

So we will have force balance in X direction

T_L cos65 = T_R cos80

T_L = 0.41 T_R

now we will have force balance in Y direction

mg = T_L sin65 + T_Rsin80

514 = 0.906T_L + 0.985T_R

Part a)

so from above equations we have

514 = 0.906T_L + 0.985(\frac{T_L}{0.41})

514 = 3.3 T_L

T_L = 155.4 N

Part b)

Now for tension in right string we will have

T_R = \frac{T_L}{0.41}

T_R = 379 N

What is the word for a group of stars that’s not a constellation?.
Sever21 [200]
Asterism, a pattern of stars that is not a constellation. An asterism can be part of a constellation, such as the Big Dipper, which is in the constellation Ursa Major, and can even span across constellations, such as the Summer Triangle, which is formed by the three bright stars Deneb, Altair, and Vega.

A single conservative force Fx = (6.0x  12) N (x is in m) acts on a particle moving along the x axis. The potential energy asso
jasenka [17]

Answer:

U(3)=-43J

Explanation:

Potential energy is minus the integral of Fdx.  Doing the integration yields:

U=\int\limits {6.0x+12}\, dx

U=-3x^2-12x+C

U(0)=20J

so

U(0)=-3(0)^2+12(0)+C=20

C=20

Now for x=3.0m

U(3)=-3*(3)^2-12(3)+20

U(3)=-43J
