A 0.44-kg cord is stretched between two supports, 8.1 m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave travels

down the cord and reaches the other support in 0.82 s .What is the tension in the cord? (Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer: 9.8N

Explanation: The velocity of a sound wave (v), tension on the string (T) and mass per unit length (u) are all related by the formulae below

T = v² * u

Where T is tension in Newton (N), v is velocity of sound waves in meter per seconds (m/s) and u is mass per unit length in kilogram per meter (kg/m)

u = mass of chord / length of chord

u = 0.44/ 8.1

u = 0.1 kg/m

Velocity of sound waves (v) =length of chord / time taken for wave to travel

v = 8.1 / 0.82 = 9.9m/s

Tension is calculated below using the formula

T = v² * u

T = (9.9)² x 0.1

T= 9.8N

How do we find an atom's mass number?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

To calculate the atomic mass of a single atom of an element, add up the mass of protons and neutrons. Example: Find the atomic mass of an isotope of carbon that has 7 neutrons. You can see from the periodic table that carbon has an atomic number of 6, which is its number of protons.

The Earth and the Moon are attracted to each other by universal gravitation. The Earth is much more massive than is the Moon. Do
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Earth attract the Moon with a force that is greater.

Explanation:

According to the law of gravitation, the gravitational force between two masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Mathematically, F1 = Gm1m2/r²... 1

Let m1 be the mass of the earth and m2 be that of the moon

If the Earth is much more massive than is the Moon, the new force of attraction between them will become;

F2= G(2m1)m2/r²

F2 = 2Gm1m2/r² ... (2)

Dividing eqn 1 by 2 we have;

F1/F2 = (Gm1m2/r²)÷(2Gm1m2/r²)

F1/F2 = Gm1m2/r²×r²/2Gm1m2

F1/F2 = 1/2

F2=2F1

This shows that that the earth will attract the moon by a force 2times the initial force of the masses(i.e a much greater force)
