Answer:

The answer is C.) 300,000,000 m/s

Explanation:

Light travels at a constant rate of 300,000,000 m/s. this can be determined by dividing the distance (144,000,000,000 meters) by the time (480 seconds). that's pretty fast. in fact, nothing can travel any faster than this. ever.

A 2.31 kg rope is stretched between supports 10.4 m apart. If one end of the rope is tweaked, how long will it take for the resu
zlopas [31]

Answer:

t = 0.657 s

Explanation:

First, let's use the appropiate equations to solve this:

V = √T/u

This expression gives us a relation between speed of a disturbance and the properties of the material, in this case, the rope.

Where:

V: Speed of the disturbance

T: Tension of the rope

u: linear density of the rope.

The density of the rope can be calculated using the following expression:

u = M/L

Where:

M: mass of the rope

L: Length of the rope.

We already have the mass and length, which is the distance of the rope with the supports. Replacing the data we have:

u = 2.31 / 10.4 = 0.222 kg/m

Now, replacing in the first equation:

V = √55.7/0.222 = √250.9

V = 15.84 m/s

Finally the time can be calculated with the following expression:

V = L/t ----> t = L/V

Replacing:

t = 10.4 / 15.84

t = 0.657 s
