A force of magnitude 33.73 lb directed toward the right is exerted on an object. What other force must be applied to the object
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

33.73 lb to the left

Explanation:

You need to exert a force with the same magnitude, but opposite direction. You can visualize it in this way: When you push an object, the object will follow your path, but if there is another person opposing the force you are exerting, the object will just not move. If the force that the other person exerts were higher, then the object would move in the opposite direction. So, you need them to have the same magnitude.

How do X-rays and ultrasounds differ ?
Nonamiya [84]
Ultrasound is vibrations, just like sound is vibrations. Ultrasound travels though the body just like sound would and when it hits something, it bounces back, where it is picked up by a receiver. which then makes an image out of it.

X-rays are electromagnetic waves, like visible light. Other examples of electromagnetic waves are infrared, and ultraviolet. But people cant see infrared nor ultraviolet, even though they are just like visible light. The difference between visible light and all these other kinds of light are just like the difference between red and blue. They are both light but different colors, ultraviolet and infrared are colors we cannot see, and in fact, we can see only a tiny portion of the colors out there. X-rays are just like all these kinds of light and we cant see it but it is able to go through most of the body, bot not bone. Doctors use x-rays to see bones and things like that in the body because x-rays won't pass through bone, but they will go through muscle and skin. So when a doctor takes an x-ray, its just like making a silhouette, but with colors we cant see. Of course, the x-rays make the photo paper change color and that's how we are able to see the image but the principle is the same.

A wave pulse travels along a string at a speed of 200 cm/s. What will be the speed if:
34kurt

Answer:

a) v_f = \sqrt{\frac{2TL}{m}} = \sqrt{2} v = \sqrt{2}2m/s =2.83 m/s

The velocity increase by a factor of \sqrt{2}

b) v_f = \sqrt{\frac{TL}{4m}} = \frac{1}{2} v = \frac{1}{2} *2m/s =1 m/s

The velocity decrease by a factor of 2.

c) v_f = \sqrt{\frac{4TL}{m}} = 2} v = 2 *2m/s =4m/s

The velocity increase by a factor of 2

d) v_f = \sqrt{\frac{4TL}{4m}} = v = 2m/s

The velocity not changes.

Explanation:

For this case we know that the velocity is v = 200 cm/s = 2m/s

v_f represent the final velocity after the changes specified,

Part a

The formula for the speed of a wave in a string is given by:

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho}}

And the linear density is defined as:

\rho = \frac{m}{L}

And if we replace this we got:

v = \sqrt{\frac{TL}{m}}

If the tension mass is doubled we have this:

v_f = \sqrt{\frac{2TL}{m}} = \sqrt{2} v = \sqrt{2}2m/s =2.83 m/s

The velocity increase by a factor of \sqrt{2}

Part b

If we mass is quadrupled we have this:

v_f = \sqrt{\frac{TL}{4m}} = \frac{1}{2} v = \frac{1}{2} *2m/s =1 m/s

The velocity decrease by a factor of 2.

Part c

If the length is quadrupled we have this:

v_f = \sqrt{\frac{4TL}{m}} = 2} v = 2 *2m/s =4m/s

The velocity increase by a factor of 2

Part d

For this case we know that the mass and the length are both quadrupled and we got:

v_f = \sqrt{\frac{4TL}{4m}} = v = 2m/s

The velocity not changes.

021. The hydrostatic pressure 'P' of a liquid column depends upon the
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

hydrostatic pressure, P=hρg,

where 'h' is the ht of the liq column and ρ is the density of the liquid and 'g' is the effective acceleration, but as far as hydroSTATICS is concerned, g stands for the acceleration due to gravity

Ask Your Teacher A trough is 16 ft long and its ends have the shape of isosceles triangles that are 2 ft across at the top and h
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:0.210 ft/min

Explanation:

Given

Length of trough L=16 ft

width of base b=2 ft

height of triangleh=1 ft

From Similar triangles property

\frac{4}{2x}=\frac{1}{y}

2y=x

volume of water in time t

V=\frac{1}{2}\times (2x\cdot y)\cdot

V=16xy

V=32y^2

differentiating

\frac{\mathrm{d} V}{\mathrm{d} t}=32\times 2\times y\times \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}

at y=8 in.\approx 0.667 ft

9=64\times 0.667\times \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}

\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{9}{64\times 0.667}

\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=0.210 ft/min
