Answer:

1.714 s

Explanation:

The equation of a moving wave,

v = λf.................................. Equation 1

Where v = velocity of the wave, λ = wave length of the wave, f = frequancy of the wave,

Given: λ = 1.0 m, f = 3.5 Hz.

Substitute into equation 1

v = 1.0(3.5)

v = 3.5 m/s.

From motion,

velocity = distance/time.

v = d/t

t = d/v................................. Equation 2

Where distance of the elastic chord from the wall, t = time taken to travel to the other end.

Given: d = 3.0 m, v = 3.5 m/s

Substitute into equation 2

t = 3.0/3.5

t = 0.857 s.

Note: for the wave to form a standing wave, it has to travel twice.

Thus,

Time taken for standing wave to fill the entire length of the string = 2t

= 2×0.857

1.714 s

(8%) Problem 9: Helium is a very important element for both industrial and research applications. In its gas form it can be used
exis [7]

Answer:

2046.37 kPa

Explanation:

Given:

Number of moles, n = 125

Temperature, T = 20° C = 20 + 273 = 293 K

Radius of the cylinder, r = 17 cm = 0.17 m

Height of the cylinder, h = 1.64 m

thus,

volume of the cylinder, V = πr²h

= π × 0.17² × 1.64

= 0.148 m³

Now,

From the ideal gas law

we have

PV = nRT

here,

P is the pressure

R is the ideal gas constant = 8.314  J / mol. K

thus,

P × 0.148 = 125 × 8.314 × 293

or

P × 0.148 = 304500.25

or

P = 2046372.64 Pa = 2046.37 kPa

An 8.0 m, 240 N uniform ladder rests against a smooth wall. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground
sweet [91]

Answer:

5.7 m

Explanation:

AD = length of the ladder = L = 8 m

AB = distance of the center of mass of the ladder = (0.5) L = (0.5) 8 = 4 m

AC = distance of person on the ladder from the bottom end = x

W = weight of the ladder = 240 N

F_{g} = weight of the person = 710 N

F = force by the wall on the ladder

N = normal force by ground on the ladder = ?

Using equilibrium of force along the vertical direction

N = F_{g} + W

N = 710 + 240

N = 950 N

μ = Coefficient of static friction = 0.55

f =static frictional force on the ladder

Static frictional force is given as

f = μ N

f = (0.55) (950)

f = 522.5 N

Force equation along the horizontal direction is given as

F = f

F = 522.5 N

using equilibrium of torque about point A

F Sin50 (AD) = W Cos50 (AB) + (F_{g} Cos50 (AC))

(522.5) Sin50 (8) = (240) Cos50 (4) + (710) Cos50 (x)

x = 5.7 m

Let this oscillator have the same energy as a mass on a spring, with the same k and m, released from rest at a displacement of 5
allochka39001 [22]
There are a lot of same examples that you may have worked before, where the mass on a spring uses a classics when it comes to mechanics. So in this system, always put in your mind that there is an enormous quantum standard that one can use in the equation. It should be 2.10x10 raise to a negative sixth. J.

kupik [55]

Answer:

   y = - (½ g / v₀²)   x²

Explanation:

This is a projectile launch exercise where there is no acceleration on the x-axis so

        x = v₀ₓ t

        v₀ₓ = v₀ cos tea

        y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t2

        v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ

as the sphere is thrown horizontally, the angle is tea = 0º, so the initial velocity remains

          v₀ₓ = v₀

           v_{oy} = 0

we substitute in our equations

          x = v₀ t

          y = - ½ g t²

we eliminate the time from these equations, we substitute the first in the second

      y = - ½ g (x / v₀)²

      y = - (½ g / v₀²)   x²

this is the equation of a parabola

A sphere of radius 5.00 cm carries charge 3.00 nC. Calculate the electric-field magnitude at a distance 4.00 cm from the center
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a)   E = 8.63 10³ N /C,  E = 7.49 10³ N/C

b)   E= 0 N/C,  E = 7.49 10³ N/C  

Explanation:

a)  For this exercise we can use Gauss's law

         Ф = ∫ E. dA = q_{int} /ε₀

We must take a Gaussian surface in a spherical shape. In this way the line of the electric field and the radi of the sphere are parallel by which the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

The area of ​​a sphere is

        A = 4π r²

 

if we use the concept of density

        ρ = q_{int} / V

        q_{int} = ρ V

the volume of the sphere is

      V = 4/3 π r³

         

we substitute

         E 4π r² = ρ (4/3 π r³) /ε₀

         E = ρ r / 3ε₀

the density is

         ρ = Q / V

         V = 4/3 π a³

         E = Q 3 / (4π a³) r / 3ε₀

         k = 1 / 4π ε₀

         E = k Q r / a³

 

let's calculate

for r = 4.00cm = 0.04m

        E = 8.99 10⁹ 3.00 10⁻⁹ 0.04 / 0.05³

        E = 8.63 10³ N / c

for r = 6.00 cm

in this case the gaussine surface is outside the sphere, so all the charge is inside

         E (4π r²) = Q /ε₀

         E = k q / r²

let's calculate

         E = 8.99 10⁹ 3 10⁻⁹ / 0.06²

          E = 7.49 10³ N/C

b) We repeat in calculation for a conducting sphere.

For r = 4 cm

In this case, all the charge eta on the surface of the sphere, due to the mutual repulsion between the mobile charges, so since there is no charge inside the Gaussian surface, therefore the field is zero.

         E = 0

In the case of r = 0.06 m, in this case, all the load is inside the Gaussian surface, therefore the field is

        E = k q / r²

      E = 7.49 10³ N / C
