Answer:

Longitudinal waves have the same direction of vibration as their direction of travel. This means that the movement of the medium is in the same direction as the motion of the wave.

Sandy is whirling a ball attached to a string in a horizontal circle over his head. If Sandy doubles the speed of the ball, what

jeka57 [31]

The tension in the string B) It quadruples.

Explanation:

The ball is in uniform circular motion in a horizontal circle, so the tension in the string is providing the centripetal force that keeps the ball in circular motion. So we can write:

$T= m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where:

T is the tension in the string

m is the mass of the ball

v is the speed of the ball

r is the radius of the circle (the lenght of the string)

In this problem, we are told that the speed of the ball is doubled, so

v' = 2v

Substituting into the previous equation, we find the new tension in the string:

$T' = m \frac{(2v)^2}{r}=4(m\frac{v^2}{r})=4T$

Therefore, the tension in the string will quadruple.

A small mailbag is released from a helicopter that is descending steadily at 3 m/s.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

a) Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 32.4 m/s

b) Package is 44.1 meter below helicopter

c) If the helicopter was rising steadily at 3.00 m/s

Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 26.4 m/s

Package is 44.1 meter below helicopter

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

Initial velocity = 3 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ and time = 3 seconds.

v = 3+9.8*3 = 32.4 m/s

Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 32.4 m/s

b) We have equation of motion , $s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

Velocity of helicopter = 3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 0 $m/s^2$ .

$s= 3*3+\frac{1}{2} *0*3^2\\ \\ s=9m$

Distance traveled by helicopter = 9 meter.

Velocity of package = 3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ .

$s= 3*3+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*3^2\\ \\ s= 53.1m$

Distance traveled by package = 53.1 meter.

So package is (53.1-9)meter below helicopter = 44.1 m

c) Initial velocity = -3 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ and time = 3 seconds.

v = -3+9.8*3 = 26.4 m/s

Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 26.4 m/s

Velocity of helicopter = -3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 0 $m/s^2$ .

$s= -3*3+\frac{1}{2} *0*3^2\\ \\ s=-9m$

Distance traveled by helicopter = 9 meter.

Velocity of package = -3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 9.8 $m/s^2$ .

$s= -3*3+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*3^2\\ \\ s= 35.1m$

Distance traveled by package = 35.1 meter.

So package is (35.1+9)meter below helicopter = 44.1 m

What is 0.0025 m^2 in cm^2? 1m = 100cm.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

25 cm²

Explanation:

Meters and centimeters are both the units for measuring length. The SI unit of measuring length is meters.

Area is the quantity which measures the cross-section occupied by the object.

Thus,

Given that = Area = 0.0025 m²

To convert into cm²

1 m = 100 cm

So, 1 m² = 10000 cm²

So,

Area = 0.0025 × 10000 cm² = 25 cm²
