If he is jumping you are adding force which means that you will be falling twice as fast

A piano string having a mass per unit length of 5.00 g/m is under a tension of 1350 N. Determine the speed of transverse waves i

padilas [110]

Answer:

The speed of transverse waves in this string is 519.61 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass per unit length = 5.00 g/m

Tension = 1350 N

We need to calculate the speed of transverse waves in this string

Using formula of speed of the transverse waves

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}$

Where, $\mu$ = mass per unit length

T = tension

Put the value into the formula

$v = \sqrt{\dfrac{1350}{5.00\times10^{-3}}}$

$v =519.61\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of transverse waves in this string is 519.61 m/s.

To determine the types of equipment your boat must carry, you need to make a measurement of the boat. What is this measurement?

jenyasd209 [6]

Explanation:

In total, the length is measured from the tip of the bow in a linear fashion to the stern of the formation of delight including any back-deck extensions. The measurement involves bow sprits; rudders; detachable engines and engine sections; handles; and various fittings and connections.

Importance in calculating a boat's length:

it affects the transportation costs (the longer the length, the higher the cost). The pontoon's length counts as you find out how much rope you need to wrestle.

The cost of vessel settlement on marinas depends in part on the pontoon length. As more area is consumed by a more drawn pontoon, the docking charges are higher.

Transportation guidelines will probably not allow pontoons past a specific length on specific occasions of the day.

A worker uses a cart to move a load of bricks a distance of 10m across a parking lot. if he pushes the cart with a constant forc

andriy [413]

Answer:

2090 J

Explanation:

the work done to move the cart is equal to the product between the force applied and the distance traveled:

$W=Fd$

In this case, the force applied is F=209 N, while the distance covered is d=10 m, therefore the work done is

$W=Fd=(209 N)(10 m)=2090 J$

50POINTS! Find the orbital speed of a satellite in a circular orbit 1700km above the surface of the Earth. M_earth 5.97e24kg, r_

ivolga24 [154]

<h2>Answer: 7020.117 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is<u> constant</u> and defined by the following expression:

$V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}$ (1)

Where:

$G=6.674({10}^{-11})\frac{N{m}^{2}}{{kg}^{2}}$ is the gravity constant

$M_{Earth}=5.97{10}^{24}kg$ the mass of the massive body around which the satellite is orbiting, in this case, the Earth .

$R=r_{Earth}+h=8080000m$ the radius of the orbit (measured from the center of the planet to the satellite).

This means the radius of the orbit is equal to <u>the sum</u> of the average radius of the Earth $r_{Earth}$ and the altitude of the satellite above the Earth's surface $h$ .

Note this orbital speed, as well as orbital period, does not depend on the mass of the satellite. It depends on the mass of the massive body (the Earth).

Now, rewriting equation (1) with the known values:

$V=\sqrt{(6.674({10}^{-11})\frac{N{m}^{2}}{{kg}^{2}})\frac{5.97{10}^{24}kg}{8080000m}}$

$V=7020.117\frac{m}{s}$
