Answer:

There is less gravitational force in space.

Explanation:

Gravity doesn't exist as it does on Earth. Earth's gravity is as 6 times stronger as it is on the moon.

Burka [1]

Answer:

The speed is $v = 9.8 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question w are told that

The angle made is $\theta = 30^o$

The distance above the surface of the water is $h_{max} = 1.2 \ m$

The value of $g = 10 \ m/s^2$

The maximum height attained by the fish is mathematically evaluate as

$h_{max} = \frac{v^2 sin ^2 \theta }{2g }$

Making v which is the speed of the fish the subject of the formula

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{2gh_{max}}{ sin^2 \theta } }$

substituting values

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{2*10 *1.2 }{ [sin (30)]^2 } }$

$v = 9.8 \ m/s$

The ratio of the focal length of a lens to it's diameter is the

user100 [1]

Answer:

The f-ratio describes the relationship between the lens diameter and the focal length and is calculated by dividing the focal length by the diameter of the lens. For example, if a lens were to have a focal length of 50mm and a diameter of 10mm, then the f-ratio would be 50mm/10mm=5 or otherwise referred to as f5.

A 1.80-m string of weight 0.0126 N is tied to the ceiling at its upper end, and the lower end supports a weight W. Neglect the v

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

W = 0.135 N

Explanation:

Given:

- y (x, t) = 8.50*cos(172*x -2730*t)

- Weight of string m*g = 0.0126 N

- Attached weight = W

Find:

The attached weight W given that Tension and W are equal.

Solution:

The general form of standing mechanical waves is given by:

y (x, t) = A*cos(k*x -w*t)

Where k = stiffness and w = angular frequency

Hence,

k = 172 and w = 2730

- Calculate wave speed V:

V = w / k = 2730 / 172 = 13.78 m/s

- Tension in the string T:

T = Y*V^2

where Y: is the mass per unit length of the string.

- The tension T and weight attached W are equal:

T = W = Y*V^2 = (w/L*g)*V^2

W = (0.0126 / 1.8*9.81)*(13.78)^2

W = 0.135 N
