A transverse wave on a string has an amplitude A. A tiny spot on the string is colored red. As one cycle of the wave passes by,

what is the total distance traveled by the red spot?a.) 4Ab.) 1/2 Ac.) 1/4 Ad.) Ae.) 2A

Since it's a transverse wave, a particle on the string moves left and right as the wave passes by, but the particle doesn't travel forward or backward at all.

So the little red dot moves 'A' to the left, then 'A' back to the center, then 'A' to the right, then 'A' back to the center again.

All together, the red dot moves a total distance of <em>4A . (choice 'a')</em>

: The truck is to be towed using two ropes. Determine the magnitudes of forces FA and FB acting on each rope in order to develop

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Fa=774 N

Fb=346 N

Explanation:

We will solve this problem by equating forces on each axis.

On x-axis let forces in positive x-direction be positive and forces in negative x-direction be negative
On y-axis let forces in positive y-direction be positive and forces in negative y-direction be negative

While towing we know that car is mot moving in y-direction so net force in y-axis must be zero

⇒∑Fy=0

⇒ $Fa*sin(50)-Fb*sin(20)=0$

⇒ $Fa*sin(50)=Fb*sin(20)$

⇒ $Fa=2.24Fb$

Given that resultant force on car is 950N in positive x-direction

⇒∑Fx=950

⇒ $Fa*cos(20)+Fb*cos(50)=950$

⇒ $2.24*Fb*cos(20)+Fb(50)=950$

⇒ $Fb*(2.24*cos(20)+cos(50))=950$

⇒ $Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*cos(20)+cos(50)}$

⇒ $Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*0.94+0.64}$

⇒ $Fb=\frac{950}{2.75}=345.5$

⇒ $Fa=2.24*Fb$

$=2.24*345.5$

$=773.93$

Therefore approximately, Fa=774 N and Fb=346 N

A power station burns 75 kilograms of coal per second. Each kg of coal contains 27 million joules of energy.

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

one kg of coal gives energy of 27 x 10⁶ J

75 kg of coal gives energy of 27 x 10⁶ x 75 J

So rate which energy is coming out of coal per second

= 27 x 10⁶ x 75 J

= 2025 x 10⁶ J /s

2025 million watts .

b ) energy output = 800 million watts

efficiency = (800 / 2025) x 100

= 39.5 % .

A monoatomic ideal gas undergoes an isothermal expansion at 300 K, as the volume increased from 0.010 m^3 to 0.040 m^3. The fina

Natali [406]

Answer:

A) 0.0 kJ

Explanation:

Change in the internal energy of the gas is a state function

which means it will not depends on the process but it will depends on the initial and final state

Also we know that internal energy is a function of temperature only

so here the process is given as isothermal process in which temperature will remain constant always

here we know that

$\Delta U = \frac{3}{2}nR\Delta T$

now for isothermal process since temperature change is zero

so change in internal energy must be ZERO

A child is riding a merry-go-round that has an instantaneous angular speed of 1.25 rad/s and an angular acceleration of 0.745 ra

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

So the acceleration of the child will be $8.05m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given angular speed of the child $\omega =1.25rad/sec$

Radius r = 4.65 m

Angular acceleration $\alpha =0.745rad/sec^2$

We know that linear velocity is given by $v=\omega r=1.25\times 4.65=5.815m/sec$

We know that radial acceleration is given by $a=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{5.815^2}{4.65}=7.2718m/sec^2$

Tangential acceleration is given by

$a_t=\alpha r=0.745\times 4.65=3.464m/sec^$

So total acceleration will be $a=\sqrt{7.2718^2+3.464^2}=8.05m/sec^2$
