Two students 8 meters apart are holding a stretched, coiled spring between them. One student sends a pulse down the string, and

they observe it takes 4 seconds for the pulse to go from one e=nd of the spring to the other and then back to it's starting point what is the speed of the pulse on the string

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance travelled by wave = 8 x 2 = 16 m

Time taken = 4 s

velocity of pulse wave = distance / time

= 16 m / 4 s

= 4 m/s

When does sea breeze occur
Vladimir79 [104]
<span>Sea breeze can happen during hot summer days because of the uneven  heating rates of water and land. The land surface heats up faster than the surface of the water during the day.  At this rate, the air above the land grows warmer than the air atop the ocean. Warmer air is always lighter than cooler air. As a consequence, warm air is pushed upward causing it to rise. With this, warmer air rises over the land. As warm air rises over the land, cooler air over the ocean flows over the land surface to change or replace the rising warm air.</span>

You have a string with a mass of 0.0135 kg. You stretch the string with a force of 8.29 N, giving it a length of 1.83 m. Then yo
Sphinxa [80]

The wavelength of the standing wave at fourth harmonic is; λ = 0.985 m and the frequency of the wave at the calculated wavelength is; f = 36.84 Hz

Given Conditions:

mass of string; m = 0.0133 kg

Force on the string; F = 8.89 N

Length of string; L = 1.97 m

1. To find the wavelength at the fourth normal node.

At the fourth harmonic, there will be 2 nodes.

Thus, the wavelength will be;

λ = L/2

λ = 1.97/2

λ = 0.985 m

2. To find the velocity of the wave from the formula;

v = √(F/(m/L)

Plugging in the relevant values gives;

v = √(8.89/(0.0133/1.97)

v = 36.2876 m/s

Now, formula for frequency here is;

f = v/λ

f = 36.2876/0.985

f = 36.84 Hz

According to the Guinness Book of World Records (1990 edition, p. 169), the highest rotary speed ever attained was 2010 m/s (450
Valentin [98]

When a body performs a uniform circular motion, the direction of the velocity vector changes at every moment. This variation is experienced by the linear vector, due to a force called centripetal, directed towards the center of the circle that gives rise to centripetal acceleration, the mathematical expression is given as,

a = \frac{v^2}{r}

Where,

v =  Tangential Velocity

r = Radius

The linear velocity was 2010m/s in a radius of 0.159m, then the centripetal acceleration is

a = \frac{2010^2}{0.159}

a = 2.54*10^7m/s^2

Therefore the centripetal acceleration of the end of the rod is 2.54*10^7m/s^2
