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} }

a football player kicks a ball with a mass of 0.42kg. The average acceleration of the football was 14.8 m/s2. How much force did
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

6.216 N

Explanation:

As for Newton's second law of motion

F=ma

where F= the acting force

           m=subjected mass

           a= the acceleration

applying F=ma to the football

F=m*a

 =0.42*14.8

 =6.216 N

6.216 N of a force is supplied to the ball

A puck of mass 0.5100.510kg is attached to the end of a cord 0.8270.827m long. The puck moves in a horizontal circle without fri
yanalaym [24]

Answer: 2.75 1/sec

Explanation:

The only external force (neglecting gravity) acting on the puck, is the centripetal force, which. in this case, is represented by the tension in the string, so we can say:

T = mv² / r (1)

Our unknown, is the frequency at which the puck can go around the circle, which is the inverse of the period Tp.

By definition, a period is the time needed by the puck to complete one entire circle.

By definition also , angular velocity is the rate of change of the angle advanced, so we can express this way:

ω = ∆θ / ∆t  

The angle advanced during one period, is exactly (by angle definition) 2 π radians.

So, we can always write the angular velocity, ω, as follows:

ω = 2π / Tp = 2πf

Now, there is a relationship between linear and angular velocity, that can be found applying simply the definition of velocity and of an angle too, as follows:

v = ∆s / ∆t = r ∆θ/∆t = ω r

Replacing in (1), we have:

T = mω2 r2 / r = m ω2r (2)

We have just found that ω= 2πf, so, replacing in (2) :

T = m (2π)2 f2 r  

Solving for f:

f = 1/2π√(T/mr) = 1/2π 17.28 1/sec = 2.75 1/sec
