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

platform diving in the olympic games takes place at two heights: 5 meters and 10 meters. What is the velocity of a diver enterin
posledela

1) Velocity: 9.9 m/s and 14 m/s

The motion of the diver is a free-fall motion, so it is a uniform accelerated motion. Choosing downward as positive direction, the final velocity can be found by using the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the diver starts from rest)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

s is the displacement

For the diver jumping from 5 m, s = 5 m, so

v=\sqrt{2as}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(5)}=9.9 m/s

For the diver jumping from 10 m, s = 10 m, so

v=\sqrt{2as}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(10)}=14 m/s

2) Time: 1.01 s and 1.43 s

The time of flight of each diver can be found by using the other suvat equation

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

And since u = 0, it can be reduced to

s=\frac{1}{2}at^2

For the diver jumping from 5 m, s = 5 m, so we find

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(5)}{9.8}}=1.01 s

For the diver jumping from 10 m, s = 10 m, so we find

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(10)}{9.8}}=1.43 s

What type of reaction feels cold to the touch? A. Endothermic, because energy is being released into the surroundings B. Endothe
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

D. Exothermic, because energy is being absorbed from the surroundings

Explanation:

This is true about the Exothemic reaction due to the fact that, the reaction occurs outside the body. During this reaction, the energy being absorbed <em>from the surrounding environment will hit the body surface thereby creating the coldness due to the heat given out from the body  being minimal.</em>

If Justin races his Chevy S-10 down highway 37 north for 2,560 meters in 60 seconds, what is
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

A.) 42.7 m/s

B.) 0.33 m/s^2

C.) 90 kg

Explanation:

A.) If Justin races his Chevy S-10 down highway 37 north for 2,560 meters in 60 seconds, what is his velocity? 

Velocity = displacement/time

Velocity = 2560/60

Velocity = 42.67 m/s

B.) The Chevy S-10 started rounding at 10 meters per hour. What is the acceleration at 30 seconds on the highway?

Acceleration = velocity/time

Acceleration = 10/30

Acceleration = 0.33 m/s^2

C.) The S-10 has a force of 30 N. What is the mass of the car?

Force = mass × acceleration

30 = mass × 0.33

Mass = 30/ 0.33

Mass = 90 kg
