This is simple question and easy to understand.
so first you use a formula to calculate frequency of the wave.
v _ stands for velocity a.k.a speed
f_ stands for frequency which you have to find.
(pronounced lemda)_ stands for wavelength.
Then you gonna place all your values according to you have in the formula as shown then solve for f.
Finally, you use the time formula
where
T_ is period a.k.a time which equal to the reciprocal of frequency or equal to 1/f.
Simply input your values according to the formula and you your answer as 0.5s

You must determine the length of a long, thin wire that is suspended from the ceiling in the atrium of a tall building. A 2.00-c

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let L be the length of the wire.

velocity of pulse wave v = L / 24.7 x 10⁻³ = 40.48 L m /s

mass per unit length of the wire m = 14.5 x 10⁻⁶ x 10⁻³ / 2 x 10⁻² kg / m

m = 7.25 x 10⁻⁷ kg / m

Tension in the wire = Mg , M is mass hanged from lower end.

= .4 x 9.8

= 3.92 N

expression for velocity of wave in the wire

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{m} }$ , T is tension in the wire , m is mass per unit length of wire .

40.48 L = $\sqrt{\frac{3.92}{7.25\times10^{-7}} }$

1638.63 L² = 3.92 / (7.25 x 10⁻⁷)

L² = 3.92 x 10⁷ / (7.25 x 1638.63 )

L² = 3299.64

L = 57.44 m /s

José is pinned against the walls of the Rotor, a ride with a radius of 3.00 meters that spins so fast that the floor can be remo

zaharov [31]

r = radius of the circle of the ride = 3.00 meters

v = linear speed of the person during the ride = 17.0 m/s

m = mass of the person in angular motion in the ride

L = angular momentum of the person in the ride = 3570 kg m²/s

Angular momentum is given as

L = m v r

inserting the values

3570 kg m²/s = m (17 m/s) (3.00 m)

m = 3570 kg m²/s/(51 m²/s)

m = 7 kg

hence the mass comes out to be 7 kg

What is the equation describing the motion of a mass on the end of a spring which is stretched 8.8 cm from equilibrium and then

Darya [45]

Answer:

$y = -8.37 cm$

Explanation:

As we know that the equation of SHM is given as

$y = A cos(\omega t)$

here we know that

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$

here we have

$T = 0.66 s$

now we have

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.66}$

$\omega = 3\pi$

now we have

$y = (8.8 cm) cos(3\pi t)$

now at t = 2.3 s we have

$y = (8.8 cm) cos(3\pi \times 2.3)$

$y = -8.37 cm$

The length of a wire 2.00 m is measured as 2.02m. What is the percentage error in the measurement?

n200080 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Percent error can be found by dividing the absolute error (difference between measure and actual value) by the actual value, then multiplying by 100.

$Percent Error=\frac{V_{measured}- V_{true} } {V_{true}} *100$

The measured value is 2.02 meters and the actual value is 2.00 meters.

$V_{measured}=2.02\\\\V_{true}=2.00$

$Percent Error=\frac{2.02-2.00}{2.00} *100$

First, evaluate the fraction. Subtract 2.00 from 2.02

$Percent Error=\frac{0.02}{2.00}*100$

Next, divide 0.02 by 2.00

$PercentError=0.01 *100$

Finally, multiply 0.01 and 100.

$Percent Error=1\\Percent Error= 1 \%$

The percent error is 1%.
