Answer: 996m/s
Explanation:
Formula for calculating velocity of wave in a stretched string is
V = √T/M where;
V is the velocity of wave
T is tension
M is the mass per unit length of the wire(m/L)
Since the second wire is twice as far apart as the first, it will be L2 = 2L1
Let V1 and V2 be the speed of the shorter and longer wire respectively
V1 = √T/M1... 1
V2 = √T/M2... 2
Since V1 = 249m/s, M1 = m/L1 M2 = m/L2 = m/2L1
The equations will now become
249 = √T/(m/L1) ... 3
V2 = √T/(m/2L1)... 4
From 3,
249² = TL1/m...5
From 4,
V2²= 2TL1/m... 6
Dividing equation 5 by 6 we have;
249²/V2² = TL1/m×m/2TL1
{249/V2}² = 1/2
249/V2 = (1/2)²
249/V2 = 1/4
V2 = 249×4
V2 = 996m/s
Therefore the speed of the wave on the longer wire is 996m/s
Answer:
i'm pretty sure its B but i may be wrong if you dont wanna take the chance wait for someone
Explanation:
Answer:
velocity is 5 m/s
Explanation:
mass of astronaut (M)=100kg
mass of object (m)=10kg
Initially they are rest , so initial velocity (u)= 0 m/s
Final velocity of object ; 
let final velocity of astronaut = 
(Unknown)
Now , By conservation of linear momentum
Initial momentum = Final momentum
Now insert values
Further simplifying
So,
So, velocity is 5 m/s (the negative sign is due to direction)
