A mass M is hanging from a rope of length L and mass m. A student gives the mass a quick horizontal shake to set up a wave which

travels along the rope.Give an expression, in terms of the provided variables, for the speed of the wave at the bottom of the string. You may assume the mass of the rope m is much less than M

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for velocity of wave produced in a hanging wire can be given  as follows

Velocity v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{m} }

where T is tension in wire and m is mass of wire per unit length.

In the given case

T = Mg + mg

= Mg

neglecting weight of rope

mass of the rope per unit length

= m / L

Velocity of wave

= \sqrt{\frac{Mg}{\frac{m}{L} } }

= \sqrt{\frac{MgL}{m} }

Engineers at the Space Centre must determine the net force needed for a rockets engine to achieve an acceleration of 70 m/s2. As
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

3,150,000N

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law;

F = mass * acceleration

Given

Mass = 45000kg

acceleration = 70m/s^2

Substitute

F = 45000 * 70

F = 3,150,000N

Hence the force required to be produced by the rocket engines is 3,150,000N

Aleks04 [339]

There is a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation with variable wavelengths and frequency, which in turn imparts different characteristics. ... X-rays and gamma rays have the same nature as visible light, radiant heat, and radio waves; however, they have shorter wavelengths and consequently a larger photon energy.

1. If 800 C of electric charge passed through a light bulb in 4 min; what is the mag
9966 [12]

The electric current passing through the bulb would be 3.3A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Electric charge, q = 800C

Time, t = 4 min

           = 4 X 60 sec

           = 240 sec

Electric current, I = ?

We know,

Current  = \frac{Charge}{Time}

On substituting the value we get:

I = \frac{800}{4 X 60} \\\\I = 3.3A

Thus, the electric current passing through the bulb would be 3.3A
