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.

Objects P and Q are placed in a bowl of water. P floats and Q sinks. Which one or more of the following can be deduced from this
Lady bird [3.3K]

The correct option that can be deduced for both Object P and Q is Option b) I and II only

To solve this question correctly, we need to understand the concept of density and it relation to mass and volume.

<h3>What is Density?</h3>

Density is a physical property of an object and can be expressed by using the relation:

\mathbf{Density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}}

From the given parameters, we are being told that:

  • P → floats
  • Q → sinks

This implies that Q has a greater density that P. Since Q has a greater density than P, Q will be heavier since it will have greater mass.

However, Q will not be denser than water because if that happens, P will be have a greater density which is untrue in this scenario.

Therefore, we can conclude that:

  • 1. Q is heavier than P
  • II. 1cm³ of Q has a greater mass than 1cm³ of P

A block is given an initial velocity of 8.0 m/s up a frictionless 28° inclined plane. (a) What is its velocity when it reaches t
kramer

Answer:

A.) 8 m/s

B.) 7.0 m

Explanation:

Given that a block is given an initial velocity of 8.0 m/s up a frictionless 28° inclined plane.

(a) What is its velocity when it reaches the top of the plane?

Since the plane is frictionless, the final velocity V will be the same as 8 m/s

The velocity will be 8 m/s as it reaches the top of the plane.

(b) How far horizontally does it land after it leaves the plane?

For frictionless plane,

a = gsinø

Acceleration a = 9.8sin28

Acceleration a = 4.6 m/s^2

Using the third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 - 2as

Substitute the a and the U into the equation. Where V = 0

0 = 8^2 - 2 × 4.6 × S

9.2S = 64

S = 64/9.2

S = 6.956 m

S = 7.0 m
