A string is waved up and down to create a wave pattern with a wavelength of 0.5 m. If the waves are generated with a frequency o

f 2 Hz, what is the speed of the wave that travels through the string to the other end? The speed of the wave is __ m/s.

Answer:

1m/s

Explanation:

Speed of a wave is expressed as;

Speed = frequency × wavelength

Given

Frequency = 2Hz

Wavelength = 0.5m

Required

Speed of the wave

Substitute

Speed = 2×0.5m

Speed = 1.0m/s

Hence the speed is 1.0m/s

An automatic dryer spins wet clothes at an angular speed of 5.2 rad/s. Starting from rest, the dryer reaches its operating speed
Dvinal [7]
<h2>Time taken by dryer to come up to speed is 1.625 seconds.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v = u + at

     Initial velocity, u =  0 rad/s

     Final velocity, v = 5.2 rad/s    

     Time, t = ?

     Acceleration, a = 3.2 rad/s²

     Substituting

                      v = u + at  

                      5.2 = 0 + 3.2 x t

                      t = 1.625 s

Time taken by dryer to come up to speed is 1.625 seconds.

Which of the following statements are true?
aleksley [76]

Good conductors of electricity have larger conductivity values than insulators.

A material that obeys Ohm's law reasonably well is called an ohmic conductor or a linear conductor.

The resistance of a conductor is proportional to the conductivity of the material of which the conductor is composed.

Answer: Options 1, 2 and 4.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In physics and electrical engineering, a conductor is an article or kind of material that permits the progression of charge in at least one headings. Materials made of metal are basic electrical conduits.

Metals such as copper typify conductors, while most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them. Most atoms hold on to their electrons tightly and are insulators.

How far will 20 N of force stretch a spring with a spring constant of 140 N/m?
densk [106]

Answer:

0.143 m

Explanation:

The relationship between force applied on a string and stretching of the spring is given by Hooke's law:

F=kx

where

F is the force exerted on the spring

k is the spring constant of the spring

x is the stretching of the spring from its equilibrium position

In this problem, we have:

F = 20 N is the force applied on the spring

k = 140 N/m is the spring constant

Solving for x, we find how far the spring will stretch:

x=\frac{F}{k}=\frac{20}{140}=0.143 m
