The characteristics of standing waves allows to find the result for the speed of the wave is:

  • The speed wave is:  v = 10 m / s

The wave is a way of transmitting energy without mass displacement, , in the attachment we can see a diagram of the standing wave.

Each cycle corresponds to half a wavelength,  they indicate that the frequency is 2.50 Hz and there are three cycles, so the wavelength is:

      L = n \frac{\lambda}{2}

      λ = 2L/n

      λ = 2 6 /3

       λ = 4 m

Wave speed is related to wavelength and frequency

        v = λ f

         v = 4 2.5

         v = 10 m / s

In conclusion, using the characteristics of standing waves we can find the result for the speed of the wave is:

  • The wave speed is:   v = 10 m / s

An electron (mass 9 × 10-31 kg) is traveling at a speed of 0.92 in an electron accelerator. An electric force of 1.4 × 10-13 N i
pogonyaev

Given Information:

Mass of electron = m = 9x10⁻³¹ kg

initial speed of electron = v₁ = 0.92c

Force = F =  1.4x10⁻¹³ J

Distance = d = 3 m

Required Information:

Final speed of electron = v₂ = ?

Answer:

Final speed of electron = v₂ = 2.974x10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

As we know from the conservation of energy,

E₂ - E₁ = W

E₂ = E₁ + W

Where E₂ is the final energy of electron and E₁ is the initial energy of electron

The above equation can be written in the form of particle energy

γ₂mc² = γ₁mc² + W

where γ₁ and γ₂ are given by

γ₁ = 1/√1 - (v₁/c)²

γ₂ = 1/√1 - (v₂/c)²

First calculate γ₁

γ₁ = 1/√1 - (0.92c/c)²

γ₁ = 2.55 m

Now calculate γ₂

γ₂ = (γ₁mc² + W)/mc²

First we need to find the work done

W = F*d

W = 1.4x10⁻¹³*3

W = 4.2x10⁻¹³ J

so γ₂ is

γ₂ = (2.55*9x10⁻³¹*(3x10⁸)² + 4.2x10⁻¹³)/9x10⁻³¹*(3x10⁸)²

γ₂ = 7.73

Now we can find the new speed of the electron

γ₂ = 1/√1 - (v₂/c)²

Re-arranging the above equation results in

v₂ = c*√(1 - 1/γ₂²)

v₂ = 3x10⁸*√(1 - 1/7.73²)

v₂ = 2.974x10⁸ m/s

Sirius and its companion orbit around a common center of mass with a period of 50 years. The mass of Sirius is 2.35 times the ma
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

1 solar masses

Explanation:

-Sirius has to maintain equilibrium with it's companion.

-Let x be the mass of Sirius and y be the mass of it's companion.

-From the question, we know that Sirius is 2.35 times heavier than it's companion:

\frac{x}{y}=2.35\\\\\frac{x}{y}=\frac{2.35}{1}

Hence, the mass of it's companion is 1 solar masses

A box of mass 50 kg is pushed hard enough to set it in motion across a flat surface. Then a 99-N pushing force is needed to keep
salantis [7]
The box is kept in motion at constant velocity by a force of F=99 N. Constant velocity means there is no acceleration, so the resultant of the forces acting on the box is zero. Apart from the force F pushing the box, there is only another force acting on it in the horizontal direction: the frictional force F_f which acts in the opposite direction of the motion, so in the opposite direction of F.
Therefore, since the resultant of the two forces must be zero,
F-F_f=0
so
F=F_f

The frictional force can be rewritten as
F_f = \mu m g
where m=50 kg, g=9.81 m/s^2. Re-arranging, we can solve this equation to find \mu, the coefficient of dynamic friction:
\mu =  \frac{F}{mg}= \frac{99 N}{(50 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)}  =0.20

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The beat frequency is 5.5 Hz.

Explanation:

f = 110 Hz, T = 600 N , T' = 540 N

let the frequency is f'.

\frac{f'}{f}=\sqrt\frac{T'}{T}\\\\\frac{f'}{f}=\sqrt\frac{540}{600}\\\\\frac{f'}{f}=0.95\\\\f'= 104.5 Hz

So, the beat frequency is f - f' = 110 - 104.5 = 5.5 Hz
