Answer:

It is connected in series with the circuit

Explanation:

This is because to measure the current in the circuit, the current in the circuit has to flow through the ammeter. As such, the ammeter must be connected in series with the circuit so as to measure the current flowing through the circuit.

So, to measure the current flowing through a circuit with an ammeter, the ammeter must be connected in series with the circuit.

A string that is under 54.0 N of tension has linear density 5.20 g/m . A sinusoidal wave with amplitude 2.50 cm and wavelength 1

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

8.89288275 m/s

Explanation:

F = Tension = 54 N

$\mu$ = Linear density of string = 5.2 g/m

A = Amplitude = 2.5 cm

Wave velocity is given by

$v=\sqrt{\frac{F}{\mu}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{54}{5.2\times 10^{-3}}}\\\Rightarrow v=101.90493\ m/s$

Frequency is given by

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{101.90493}{1.8}\\\Rightarrow f=56.61385\ Hz$

Angular frequency is given by

$\omega=2\pi f\\\Rightarrow \omega=2\pi 56.61385\\\Rightarrow \omega=355.71531\ rad/s$

Maximum velocity of a particle is given by

$v_m=A\omega\\\Rightarrow v_m=0.025\times 355.71531\\\Rightarrow v_m=8.89288275\ m/s$

The maximum velocity of a particle on the string is 8.89288275 m/s

A large pendulum with a 200-lb gold plated bob 12 inches in diameter is on display in the lobby of the united nations building.

BaLLatris [955]

The period of one full swing depends on the length of the pendulum and on gravity. The period of each full swing would be longer on the moon, with less gravity.

The rotation of the plane of the swings doesn't depend on the length of the string OR on gravity. It only depends on the latitude of the place where the pendulum hangs, and the rotation period of the body it's located on.

On Earth, it's (24 hours)/(sine of latitude).

On the moon, it would be (27.32 days)/(sine of latitude).
