A 2.31 kg rope is stretched between supports 10.4 m apart. If one end of the rope is tweaked, how long will it take for the resu

zlopas [31]

Answer:

t = 0.657 s

Explanation:

First, let's use the appropiate equations to solve this:

V = √T/u

This expression gives us a relation between speed of a disturbance and the properties of the material, in this case, the rope.

Where:

V: Speed of the disturbance

T: Tension of the rope

u: linear density of the rope.

The density of the rope can be calculated using the following expression:

u = M/L

Where:

M: mass of the rope

L: Length of the rope.

We already have the mass and length, which is the distance of the rope with the supports. Replacing the data we have:

u = 2.31 / 10.4 = 0.222 kg/m

Now, replacing in the first equation:

V = √55.7/0.222 = √250.9

V = 15.84 m/s

Finally the time can be calculated with the following expression:

V = L/t ----> t = L/V

Replacing:

t = 10.4 / 15.84

t = 0.657 s

how much water is needed to produce 1kwh of electricity at a power plant that is 30% efficient if the temperature increase 10 C

Dimas [21]

The amount of water needed is 287 kg

Explanation:

The amount of energy that we need to produce with the power plant is

$E=1 kWh = (1000W)(1h)=(1000W)(3600s)=3.6\cdot 10^6 J$

We also know that the power plant is only 30% efficient, so the energy produced in input must be:

$E_{in}=\frac{E}{0.30}=\frac{3.6\cdot 10^6}{0.3}=1.2\cdot 10^7 J$

The amount of water that is needed to produce this energy can be found using the equation

$E_{in}=mC\Delta T$

where:

m is the amount of water

$C=4186 J/kg^{\circ}C$ is the specific heat capacity of water

$\Delta T=10^{\circ}C$ is the increase in temperature

And solving for m, we find:

$m=\frac{E_{in}}{C\Delta T}=\frac{1.2\cdot 10^7}{(4186)(10)}=287 kg$

A rocket passing the earth with high speed will look shorter for the stationary observer measuring the size on earth than travel

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This can be explained by the special theory of relativity for length contraction.

Length contraction is observed in the direction of motion of an object when an object moves with speed closer to the speed of light.

The length of the rocket in this case, appears shorter to the observer on earth in the stationary reference frame which is improper frame whereas the traveler in the rocket is in the same inertial frame which is proper for the rocket's size measurement.
