Wavelength can be calculated using the following formula: wavelength = wave velocity/frequency. Wavelength usually is expressed in units of meters.

A piano wire has a length of 81 cm and a mass of 2.0
choli [55]
<span>Frequency = 394 Hz
 Length of the string L = 81 cm = 0.81 m
 Mass of the string = 0.002 kg
 Tension T = ?
 Wave length of the string is two times the length.
  n x lambda = 2L, we also have lambda = vt = v / f, t is time period and given n = 1.
  Therefore L = v / 2f => v = 2fL
 Deriving form force equation, force here is tension T so
  v = squareroot of (TL/m) hence
   2fL = squareroot of (TL/m) => 4 x f^2 x L^2 = (T x L) / m => T = 4 x f^2 x L x m
 T = 4 x 0.81 x (394)^2 x 0.002 = 4 x 0.81 x 155236 x 0.002
 T = 1005.9 N = 1.006 x 10^3 N</span>

A forklift does 450 J of work to lift a 150 N hot tub. How high is the hot tub lifted? Round your answer to the nearest whole nu
vivado [14]
There are already 2 givens, hence we can do direct substitution to get the answer. To make the process simpler, derive the distance formula from the Work formula.

Work = Force x Distance

Distance = \frac{Work}{Force}


Work is 450J while the force is 150N hot tub

To get the proper units, get the equivalent of Joule to eliminate newton. A joule Is equal to 1 N-m

Distance = \frac{450N-m}{150N}
Distance = 3m

Hence, the hot tub is lifted 3 meters.

A child is sliding a toy block (with mass = m) down a ramp. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the ramp is
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

F=mg(sin(\theta )-0.25 cos(\theta ))

Explanation:

The free body diagram of the block on the slide is shown in the below figure

Since the block is in equilibrium we apply equations of statics to compute the necessary unknown forces

N is the reaction force between the block and the slide

For equilibrium along x-axis we have

\sum F_{x}=0\\\\mgsin(\theta )-\mu N-F=0\\\therefore F=mgsin(\theta)-\mu N......(\alpha )\\Similarly\\\sum F_{y}=0\\\\N-mgcos(\theta )=0\\\therefore N=mgcos(\theta ).......(\beta )\\\\

Using value of N from equation β in α we get value of force as

F=mg(sin(\theta )-\mu cos(\theta ))

Applying values we get

F=mg(sin(\theta )-0.25 cos(\theta ))

(1 point) Which of the following statements are true?A.The equation Ax=b is referred to as a vector equation.B.If the augmented
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

A. False

B. False

C. True

D. True

E. True

F. True

Explanation:

A. The equation Ax=b is referred to as a matrix equation and not vector equation.

B. If the augmented matrix [ A b ] has a pivot position in every​ row then equation Ax=b may or may not be consistent. It is inconsistent if [A b] has a pivot in the last column b and it is consistent if the matrix A has a pivot in every row.

C. In the product of Ax also called the dot product the first entry is a sum of products. For example the the product of Ax where A has [a11 a12 a13] in the first entry of each column and the corresponding entries in x are [x1 x2 x3] then the first entry in the product is the sum of products i.e.  a11x1 + a12x2 +a13x3

D. If the columns of mxn matrix A span R^m, this states that every possible vector b in R^m is a linear combination of the columns which makes the equation consistent. So the equation Ax=b has at least one solution for each b in R^m.

E. It is stated that a vector equation x1a1 + x2a2 + x3a3 + ... + xnan = b has the same solution set as that of the linear system with augmented matrix [a1 a2 ... an b]. So the solution set of linear system whose augmented matrix is [a1 a2 a3 b] is the same as solution set of Ax=b if A=[a1 a2 a3]  and b can be produced by linear combination of a1 a2 a3 iff the solution of linear system corresponding to [a1 a2 a3 b] takes place.

F.  It is true because lets say b is a vector in R^m which is not in the span of  the columns. b cannot be obtained for some x which belongs to R^m as b = Ax. So Ax=b is inconsistent for some b in R^m and has no solution.

In a semiclassical model of the hydrogen atom, the electron orbits the proton at a distance of 0.053 nm. Part A What is the elec
Bezzdna [24]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

r=0.053 nm=0.053\times 10^{-9} m

1 nm=10^{-9} m

Charge on proton,q=1.6\times 10^{-19} C

a.We have to find the electric  potential of the proton at the position of the electron.

We know that the electric potential

V=\frac{kq}{r}

Where k=9\times 10^9

V=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.053\times 10^{-9}}

V=27.17 V

B.Potential energy of electron,U=\frac{kq_e q_p}{r}

Where

q_e=-1.6\times 10^{-19} c=Charge on electron

q_p=q=1.6\times 10^{-19} C=Charge on proton

Using the formula

U=\frac{9\times 10^9\times (-1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.053\times 10^{-9}}

U=-4.35\times 10^{-18} J
