Answer:
The magnitude of the tension in he string is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the object.
Explanation:
According to the Newton's 1st law, An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
In here, the elevator is moving with a constant speed. So the object must have the equal constant speed. Which means, it has a uniform motion. According to Newton's 1st law, the total unbalanced force on the object must be zero . As we know, there are only two forces are on the object and they are,
The tension in string(T) , The weight of the object(W) .
∴ F = 0
T - W = 0
So to balanced those forces, the magnitude of the tension in the string must be equal to the magnitude of the weight of the object.
Answer:
Explanation:
The frequency of a wave can be found using the following formula.
where <em>f</em> is the frequency, <em>v</em> is the velocity/wave speed, and λ is the wavelength.
The wavelength is 10 meters and the velocity is 200 meters per second.
- 1 m/s can also be written as 1 m*s^-1
Therefore:
Substitute the values into the formula.
Divide and note that the meters (m) will cancel each other out.
- 1 s^-1 is equal to Hertz
- Therefore, our answer of 20 s^-1 is equal to 20 Hz
The frequency of the wave is <u>20 Hertz</u>
C) alternately increase and decrease
Let's take the analogy of the baseball pitcher a step farther. When a baseball is thrown in a straight line, we already said that the ball would fall to Earth because of gravity and atmospheric drag. Let's pretend again that there is no atmosphere, so there is no drag to slow the baseball down. Now, let's assume that the person throwing the ball throws it so fast that as the ball falls towards the Earth, it also travels so far, before falling even a little, that the Earth's surface curves away from the ball's path.
In other words, the baseball falls as it did before, but the ball is moving so fast that the curvature of the Earth becomes a factor and the Earth "falls away" from the ball. So, theoretically, if a pitcher on a 100 foot (30.48 m) high hill threw a ball straight and fast enough,the ball would circle the Earth at exactly 100 feet and hit the pitcher in the back of the head once it circled the globe! The bad news for the person throwing the ball is that the ball will be traveling at the same speed as when they threw it, which is about 8 km/s or several times faster than a rifle bullet. This would be very bad news if it came back and hit the pitcher, but we'll get to that in a minute.
In uniform motion, the path is a straight line, and the object r moving along it at a constant speed.
