Answer: d. I or II

Explanation: A traveling wave has speed that depends on characteristics of a medium. Characteristics like linear density (μ), which is defined as mass per length.

Tension or Force (F_{T}) is also related to the speed of a moving wave.

The relationship between tension and linear density and speed is ginve by the formula:

|v|=\sqrt{\frac{F_{T}}{\mu} }

So, for the traveling waves generated on a string fixed at both ends described above, ways to increase wave speed would be:

1) Increase Tension and maintaining mass and length constant;

2) Longer string will decrease linear density, which will increase wave speed, due to their inversely proportional relationship;

Then, ways to increase the wave speed is

I. Using the same string but increasing tension

II. Using a longer string with the same μ and T.

Sketch a reaction progress curve for a reaction that has an activation energy of 22 kj and the total energy change is -103kj.
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Do find the answer in the attachment herein.

Explanation:

From the attached diagram:

I. Activation energy = Activated complex - ∆H(reactants)

Activation energy = 162-140 = 22Kj.

II. ∆H(reaction) = ∆H(products) - ∆H(reactants)

∆H(reaction) = 37 - 140 = -103Kj.

If the resultant force acting on a 2.0 kg object is equal to (3.0î + 4.0ĵ) N, what is the change in kinetic energy as the object
12345 [234]

Answer:

ΔK = 24 joules.

Explanation:

ΔK = Work done on the object

Work is equal to the dot product of force supplied and the displacement of the object.

W = F * Δs

Δs can be found by subtracting the vectors (7.0, -8.0) and (11.0, -5.0), which is written as Δs = (11.0 - 7.0, -5.0 - -8.0) which equals (4.0, 3.0).

This gives us

W = < 3, 4 > * < 4, 3 > = (3*4)+(4*3) = 24 J

A projectile enters a resisting medium at x = 0 with an initial velocity v0 = 910 ft/s and travels 5 in. before coming to rest.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

a = - 1.987 × 10⁶ ft/s²

t = 6.84 × 10⁻⁴ s

Explanation:

v₀ = 910 ft/s

x = 5 in.

relation v = v₀ - k x

v = 0 as body comes to rest

0 = 900 - 5k/12

k = 2184 s⁻¹

acceleration

\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t} = -k\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

where

(A) a = -k × v

 at v= 910 ft/s

     a = - 1.987 × 10⁶ ft/s²

(B)  at x = 3.9 in.

v = 910 - 3.9(2184)/12

v = 200.2 m/s

\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t} = -k\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

\frac{dv}{v} = -kdt

\int\limits^{200.2}_{900} {\frac{1}{v} }dv = -k\int\limits^t_0 dt

ln(200.2)-ln(900) = -kt

t = 6.84 × 10⁻⁴ s
