A ski gondola is connected to the top of a hill by a steel cable of length 600 m and diameter 1.2 cm . As the gondola comes to t

he end of its run, it bumps into the terminal and sends a wave pulse along the cable. It is observed that it took 18 s for the pulse to return. Part A What is the speed of the pulse?

Answer:

v = 66.7 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of steel cable, L = 600 m

Diameter = 1.2 cm

It is observed that it took 18 s for the pulse to return.

The time taken to cover 600 m will be :

t = T/2

t = 9 s

Let v be the of the pulse. We know that,

v=\dfrac{L}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{600}{9}\\\\v=66.7\ m/s

So, the speed of the pulse is equal to 66.7 m/s.

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

Two protons are released from rest, with only the electrostatic force acting. Which of the following statements must be true abo
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Explanation:

correct options

a ) Their electrical potential energy keeps decreasing

Actually as they move apart , their electrical potential energy decreases due to increase of distance between them and kinetic energy increases

so a ) option is correct

b ) Their acceleration keeps decreasing

As they move apart , their mutual force of repulsion decreases due to increase of distance between them so the acceleration decreases .

c ) c. Their kinetic energy keeps increasing

Their kinetic energy increases because their electrical potential energy decreases . Conservation of energy law will apply .
