Answer:
Amplitude, A = 0.049 meters
Explanation:
Given that,
A harmonic wave travels in the positive x direction at 6 m/s along a taught string. A fixed point on the string oscillates as a function of time according to the equation :
.......(1)
The general equation of a wave is given by :
.......(2)
A is amplitude of wave
On comparing equation (1) and (2) we get :
A = 0.049 meters
So, the amplitude of the wave is 0.049 meters.
Answer:
2.7x10⁻⁸ N/m²
Explanation:
Since the piece of cardboard absorbs totally the light, the radiation pressure can be found using the following equation:
<u>Where:</u>
: is the radiation pressure
I: is the intensity of the light = 8.1 W/m²
c: is the speed of light = 3.00x10⁸ m/s
Hence, the radiation pressure is:
Therefore, the radiation pressure that is produced on the cardboard by the light is 2.7x10⁻⁸ N/m².

Answer:
82.76m
Explanation:
In order to find the distance of the steel ring to the ground, when its temperature has raised by 1°C, you first calculate the radius of the steel tube before its temperature increases.
You use the formula for the circumference of the steel ring:
(1)
C: circumference of the ring = 40000 km = 4*10^7m (you assume the circumference is the length of the steel tube)
you solve for r in the equation (1):
Next, you use the following formula to calculate the change in the length of the tube, when its temperature increases by 1°C:
(2)
L: final length of the tube = ?
Lo: initial length of the tube = 4*10^7m
ΔT = change in the temperature of the steel tube = 1°C
α: thermal coefficient expansion of steel = 13*10^-6 /°C
You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):
With the new length of the tube, you can calculate the radius of a ring formed with the tube. You again solve the equation (1) for r:
Finally, you compare both r and r' radius:
r' - r = 6,366,280.484m - 6,366,197.724m = 82.76m
Hence, the distance to the ring from the ground is 82.76m
