Answer:

t = 0.196 s

Explanation:

The speed of a pulse is determined by the characteristics of the medium, its density and its resistance to stress, as long as these remain the speed will be constant for which we can use the kinetic expressions of the uniform movement

          v = x / t

          t = x / v

calculate

          t = 2/102

          t = 0.196 s

Define Archemedics principle?​
azamat

Answer:

Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. Archimedes' principle is a law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics. It was formulated by Archimedes of Syracuse.

What would changing the frequency of a wave do to the wave?
nata0808 [166]
The data convincingly show that wave frequency does not affect wave speed. An increase in wave frequency caused a decrease in wavelength while the wave speed remained constant. The last three trials involved the same procedure with a different rope tension.

There is a 90 kg woman attached at the end of a bungee cord (k = 35 N/m) that is experiencing simple harmonic motion. How long d
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The value is T  =10.1 \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the woman is  m  = 90 \  kg  

    The spring constant of the bungee cord is  k  =  35 \  N/  m

Generally the period of the oscillation (i,e time taken to complete on  cycle ) is mathematically represented as

            T  = 2 \pi *  \sqrt{ \frac{m}{k} }

=>      T  = 2 * 3.142  *  \sqrt{ \frac{90 }{ 35} }

=>      T  =10.1 \ s

Three wires meet at a junction. Wire 1 has a current of 0.40 A into the junction. The current of wire 2 is 0.57 A out of the jun
AlekseyPX

Answer:

a. 1.56 × 10¹⁸ electrons per second

b. The electrons in wire 3 flow into the junction.

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

Three wires meet at a junction. Wire 1 has a current of 0.40 A into the junction. The current of wire 2 is 0.65 A out of the junction. (a) How many electrons per second move past a point in wire 3? (b) In which direction do the electrons move in wire 3 -- into or out of the junction?

Solution

(a) How many electrons per second move past a point in wire 3?

Using Kirchhoff's current law, at the junction, i₁ + i₂ + i₃ = 0 where i₁ = current in wire 1 = 0.40 A, i₂ = current in wire 2 = 0.65 A and  i₃ = = current in wire 3,

So, i₃ = -(i₁ + i₂)

taking current flowing into the junction as positive and those leaving as negative, i₁ = + 0.40 A and i₂ = -0.65 A

So, i₃ = -(i₁ + i₂)

i₃ = -(0.40 A + (-0.65 A))

i₃ = -(0.40 A - 0.65 A)

i₃ = -(-0.25 A)

i₃ = 0.25 A

Since i₃ = 0.25 C/s and we have e = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C per electron, then the number of electrons flowing in wire 3 per second is i₃/e = 0.25 C/s ÷ 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C per electron = 0.1561  × 10¹⁹ electrons per second = 1.561  × 10¹⁸ electrons per second ≅ 1.56 × 10¹⁸ electrons per second

(b) In which direction do the electrons move -- into or out of the junction?

Given that i₃ = + 0.25 A and that positive flows into the junction, thus, the electrons in wire 3 flow into the junction.
