Answer:

the propagation velocity of the wave is 274.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

length of the string, L = 1.5 m

mass of the string, m = 0.002 kg

Tension of the string, T = 100 N

wavelength, λ = 1.5 m

The propagation velocity of the wave is calculated as;

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\\mu \ is \ mass \ per \ unit \ length \ of \ the \ string\\\\\mu = \frac{0.002 \ kg}{1.5 \ m} = 0.00133 \ kg/m\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{100}{0.00133} } \\\\v = 274.2 \ m/s

Therefore, the propagation velocity of the wave is 274.2 m/s

Watt-hours is a measure of energy, just like kilowatt-hours. How can you convert this to Joules?
satela [25.4K]

Work with your units:

1 watt-hour = 1 (joule/second) · (hour) = 1 (joule-hour / second)

(1 joule-hour/sec) · (3600 sec/hour) = 3600 joules

So 1 watt-hour = 3,600 joules

Lucille is finding it difficult to play soccer after school. Her doctor thinks that her cells might not be getting enough oxygen
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Circulation of blood and oxygen is possible in body when circulatory system work along with respiratory system. Through tranche air moves in and out from lungs, whereas, through pulmonary arteries and veins (both connected to heart) blood moves in and out from the lungs. As Lucille is facing problem in his respiratory and circulatory system hence, it is difficult for him to play soccer because under normal circumstances when there is increase in physical activity then muscle cell respire more as compare to when the body is on rest. So, with increase of physical activity there is also increase in the rate of breathing which result in more absorption of oxygen and more removal of carbon dioxide but if there is problem in respiratory and circulatory system, for example, infection in throat due to pollution,etc. then this normal process of breathing gets affected which sometime may prove fatal to the person.

A disk of mass M and radius R rotates at angular velocity ω0. Another disk of mass M and radius r is dropped on top of the rotat
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

\omega = \frac{(R^2\omega_o}{(R^2 + r^2)}

Explanation:

As we know that there is no external torque on the system of two disc

then the angular momentum of the system will remains conserved

So we will have

L_i = L_f

now we have

L_i = (\frac{1}{2}MR^2)\omega_o

also we have

L_f = (\frac{1}{2}MR^2 + \frac{1}{2}Mr^2)\omega

now from above equation we have

(\frac{1}{2}MR^2)\omega_o  = (\frac{1}{2}MR^2 + \frac{1}{2}Mr^2)\omega

now we have

\omega = \frac{MR^2\omega_o}{(MR^2 + Mr^2)}

\omega = \frac{(R^2\omega_o}{(R^2 + r^2)}
