A string is tied between two posts separated by 2.4 m. When the string is driven by an oscillator at frequency 567 Hz, 5 points

of maximum displacement are observed. What is the speed (in m/s) of a transverse wave on this string

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Length (l) = 2.4 m

Frequency (f) = 567 Hz

Formula to calculate the speed of a transverse wave is as follows.

f = $\frac{5}{2l} \times v$

Putting the gicven values into the above formula as follows.

f = $\frac{5}{2l} \times v$

567 Hz = $\frac{5}{2 \times 2.4 m} \times v$

v = 544.32 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that the speed (in m/s) of a transverse wave on this string is 544.32 m/s.

What is the force that opposes motion and works against the downward pull? A) friction B) gravity C) weight D) acceleration

charle [14.2K]

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe it is A Friction. because gravity pulls down, weight isn't a force, and acceleration doesn't oppose motion

It could be warmer solid, or liquid, or gas, depending on the pressure and the amount of heat added.

Now suppose that the Earth had the same mass and radius as it currently does, but all of the mass was concentrated into a thin (

KiRa [710]

Answer:

The force of gravity at the shell will be extremely great on me due to the huge mass collapsed into the small radius.

<em>At the center of the shell, the gravitational forces all around should cancel out, giving me a feeling of weightlessness; which will be a lesser force compared to that felt while standing on the shell.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

For the collapsed earth:

mass = 5.972 × 10^24 kg

radius = 1 ft

according to Newton's gravitation law, the force of gravity due to two body with mass is given as

Fg = GMm/ $R^{2}$

Where Fg is the gravitational force between the two bodies.

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the earth

m is my own mass

R is the distance between me and the center of the earths in each case

For the case where I stand on the shell:

radius R will be 1 ft

Fg = GMm/ $1^{2}$

Fg = GMm

For the case where I stand stand inside the shell, lets say I'm positioned at the center of the shell. The force of gravity due to my mass will be balanced out by all other masses around due to the shell of the hollow earth. This cancelling will produce a weightless feeling on me.

A 70.0-kg skier is sliding at 4 m/s when they slide down a 2m high hill. At the bottom of the hill they run into a large 2800 N/

Katarina [22]

Answer:

$\Delta x=245\ mm$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of skier, $m=70\ kg$

initial velocity of skier, $u=4\ m.s^{-1}$

height of the hill, $h=2\ m$

spring constant, $k=2800\ N.m^{-1}$

<u>final velocity of skier before coming in contact of spring:</u>

Using eq. of motion:

$v^2=u^2+gh$

$v^2=4^2+9.8\times 2$

$v=5.9666\ m.s^{-1}$

<u>Now the time taken by the skier to reach down:</u>

$v=u+gt$

$5.9666=4+9.8\ t$

$t=0.2007\ s$

<u>Now we calculate force using Newton's second law:</u>

$F=\frac{dp}{dt}$

$F=\frac{m(v-u)}{t}$

$F=\frac{70\times(5.9666-4)}{0.2007}$

$F\approx686\ N$

<u>∴Compression in spring before the skier momentarily comes to rest:</u>

$\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}$

$\Delta x=\frac{686}{2800}$

$\Delta x=0.245\ m$

$\Delta x=245\ mm$
