Answer:

F - M a      force exerted by scales on student

M a = M (9.8 + 4.9) m/s^2      upwards chosen as positive

a = 1.5 g        net acceleration of student  due to force of scales

W =M g       weight of student   (actual weight)

Wapp = M 1.5 * g      apparent weight (on scales) of student

A piano string having a mass per unit length equal to 5.00× 10⁻³kg / m is under a tension of 1350N . Find the speed with which a
DiKsa [7]

Based on the mass per unit length and the tension, the speed that the wave travels on this string is 519.615 m/s.

<h3>What is the speed?</h3><h3 />

The speed that the wave travels can be found as:

Velocity² = Tension / Mass per length

Solving gives:

Velocity² = 1,350 / 0.005

Velocity² = 270,000

Velocity = √270,000

= 519.615 m/s

A certain piece of metal (density 9.45 grams per cubic centimeter) has the shape of a hockey puck with a diameter of 13 cm and a
atroni [7]

Answer:

0.0195 m

Explanation:

\rho _{p} = density of hockey puck = 9.45 gcm⁻³ = 9450 kgm³

d_{p} = diameter of hockey puck = 13 cm = 0.13 m

h_{p} = height of hockey puck = 2.8 cm = 0.028 m

\rho _{m} = density of mercury = 13.6 gcm⁻³ = 13600 kgm³

d = depth of puck below surface of mercury

According to Archimedes principle, the weight of puck is balanced by the weight of mercury displaced by puck

Weight of mercury displaced = Weight of puck

\rho _{m} (0.25)(\pi d_{p}^{2} d ) g = \rho _{p} (0.25)(\pi d_{p}^{2} h_{p} ) g\\\rho _{m} ( d ) = \rho _{p} ( h_{p} )\\(13600) d = (9450) (0.028)\\d = 0.0195 m

Two cars are traveling around identical circular racetracks. Car A travels at a constant speed of 20 m/s. Car B starts at rest a
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

b. it has the same centripetal acceleration as car A.

Explanation:

According to the question, the data provided is as follows

Constant speed of car A = 20 m/s

Constant tangential acceleration until its speed is 40 m/s

Based on the above information, the true statement is the same centripetal acceleration as car A because

As we know that

Centripetal acceleration is

= \frac{V^2}{r}

where,

V^2 = velocity

r = radius of the path

Now if both car A and car B moving in the same or identical circular path having the same velocity so in this case there is the same centripetal acceleration for that particular time

hence, the second option is correct

kirill [66]
Control group in a scientific experiment is a group separated from the rest of the experiment, it is where the independent variable being tested cannot influence the results. It isolates the independent variable's effects on the experiment and can helps rule out alternative explanations of the experimental results.
