Answer:

The speed of waves on this wire is 329.14 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

tension of the wire, T = 650 N

mass per unit length, μ = 0.06 g /cm = 0.006 kg/m

(convert the unit of mass per length in g/cm to kg/m by dividing by 10 = 0.06 / 10 = 0.006 kg/m)

The speed of waves on this wire is given as;

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{650}{0.006} }\\\\v = 329.14 \ m/s$

Therefore, the speed of waves on this wire is 329.14 m/s

A compressed spring has elastic potential energy. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: True

Explanation:

As the spring is compressed, it acumulates energy, and the spring "wants to release that energy". This acumulated energy, (potential energy) is called "elastic potential energy" because of the elastical nature of the spring, that when compressed it wants to return to the original shape. So the sentence is true

A bike rider approaches a hill with a speed of 8.5 m/s. The total mass of the bike rider is 91kg. What is the kinetic energy of

Anestetic [448]

a) The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is expressed as the product of half of the mass (m) of the object and the square of its velocity (v²):

$KE = \frac{1}{2}m* v^{2}$
