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

A golf club hits a 0.04551 kg golf ball off a golf tee. The club is in contact with the ball for 0.020 s, and the force applied
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

v = 50.5 m/s

Explanation:

F = (m)(^v/^t)

115N = (0.04551kg)(v/(0.020s))

2,526.917161 m/s² = v/(0.020s)

v = 50.53834322 m/s

v = 50.5 m/s

A steel beam of mass 1975 kg and length 3 m is attached to the wall with a pin that can rotate freely on its right side. A cable
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

a) 29062.125 N·m

b) 0 N·m

c) Torque, due \ to \ tension =L\cdot Tsin\theta = \frac{M\cdot L\cdot g}{2}

d) T = 11186.02 N

Explanation:

We are given

Beam mass = 1975 kg

Beam length = 3 m

Cable angle = 60° above horizontal

a) We have the formula for torque given as follows;

Torque about the pin = Force × Perpendicular distance of force from pin

Where the force = Force due to gravity or weight, we have

Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity = 1975 × 9.81 = 19374.75 N

Point of action of force = Midpoint for a uniform beam = length/2

∴ Point of action of force = 3/2 = 1.5 m

Torque due to gravity = 19374.75 N × 1.5 m = 29062.125 N·m

b) Torque about the pinned end due to the contact forces between the pin and the beam is given by the following relation;

Since the distance from pin to the contact forces between the pin and the beam is 0, the torque which is force multiplied by perpendicular distance is also 0 N·m

c) To find the expression for the tension force, T we find the sum of the moment forces about the pin as follows

Sum of moments about p is given as follows

∑M = 0 gives;

T·sin(θ) × L= M×L/2×g

Therefore torque due to tension is given by the following expression

Torque, due \ to \ tension =L\cdot Tsin\theta = \frac{M\cdot L\cdot g}{2}

d) Plugging in the values in the torque due to tension equation, we have;

3\times Tsin60 = \frac{1975\times 3\times 9.81}{2} = 29062.125

Therefore, we make the tension force, T the subject of the formula hence

T= \frac{29062.125}{3 \times sin(60)} = 11186.02 N

An injured monkey sits perched on a tree branch 3.0 m above the ground, while a wildlife veterinarian is kneeling down in the bu
Irina18 [472]

here in the given situation if monkey starts free fall at the same instant when veterinarian shoots towards it then we know that vertical component of motion of monkey and the dart will be same as under gravity

so here the dart will always hit the monkey because they both moves under same acceleration

so here for the angle we can use

tan\theta = \frac{H}{L}

now we have

H = 3 m

L = 87.5 m

now we will have

tan\theta = \frac{3}{87.5}

tan\theta = 0.034

\theta = 1.96 degree

so angle will be 1.96 degree above the ground

What is the wavelength of a wave that has a frequency of 841 Hz if the speed of the wave is 457 m/s?
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.54 m</h3>

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave can be found by using the formula

\lambda =  \frac{c}{f}  \\

where

c is the velocity

f is the frequency

So we have

\lambda =  \frac{457}{841}  \\  = 0.543400713...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.54 m</h3>

Hope this helps you

Newton's law of cooling states that the temperature of an object changes at a rate proportional to the difference between its te
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

6.77 minutes

Explanation:

172 degree - 78 degree = (185 degree - 78 degree)e−2 k

=> 94 = 107

e−2 k => 94 ÷ 107

k => ln (94÷107) / 2

147 - 78 = (185 - 78)e ^[ln (94÷107) / 2]

=> 69 = 107 e^ [ln (94÷107) / 2]

e^[ln (94÷107) / 2] =69 ÷ 107

=> t = [ln (69 ÷ 107)] ÷ [ln (94÷107) / 2]

t=> -0.4387 ÷ -0.0648

t => 6.77 minutes.

Therefore, the final answer to the question is 6.77 minutes.
