Answer:
The speed of the sound wave on the string is 545.78 m/s.
Explanation:
Given;
mass per unit length of the string, μ = 4.7 x 10⁻³ kg/m
tension of the string, T = 1400 N
The speed of the sound wave on the string is given by;
where;
v is the speed of the sound wave on the string
Substitute the given values and solve for speed,v,
Therefore, the speed of the sound wave on the string is 545.78 m/s.
Answer:
a) Gravitational potential energy = 399 J
b) Gravitational potential energy = 66.5 J
c) Gravitational potential energy = 0 J
Explanation:
Hi there!
Please, see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.
a) When the ropes are horizontal, the height of the child, relative to the child's lowest position, is 2.10 m (see figure).
The gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows:
PE = mgh
Where:
PE = potential energy.
mg = weight of the child
h = height.
Then when the ropes are horizontal, the potential energy will be:
PE = 190 N · 2.10 m = 399 J
b) When the ropes make a 34.0° with the vertical, the height of the child is 2.10 m minus x (see figure). To find x, we can use trigonometry of right triangles:
cos angle = adjacent side / hypotenuse
cos 34.0° = x / 2.10 m
x = 2.10 m · cos 34.0° = 1.75 m
Then, the height of the child relative to the lowest position is
(2.10 m - 1.75 m) = 0.35 m
Therefore, the gravitational potential energy will be:
PE = 190 N · 0.35 m
PE = 66.5 J
c) When the child is at the bottom of the circular arc the height is zero (the child is at the lowest position), then, the gravitational potential energy will be zero.
