A phone cord is 6.48 m long. The cord has a mass of 0.253 kg. A transverse wave pulse is produced by plucking one end of the taut cord. The pulse makes four trips down and back along the cord in 0.877 s. What is the tension in the cord

136.27 N

Explanation:

From the question,

The velocity of the pulse is given as

v = L/t Equation 1

Where v = velocity of the pulse, L = total length of the pulse, t = time.

Given: L = 4×2×6.48 (as the pulse makes four tips down and back) = 51.84 m, t = 0.877 s.

substitute into equation 1

v = 51.84/0.877

v = 59.11 m/s.

Using,

But,

v = √(T/m') Equation 2

Where T  tension in the cord, m' = mass per unit length of the cord.

make T the subject of the equation

T = v²m' Equation 3

Given: v = 59.11 m/s, m' = 0.253/6.48 = 0.039 kg/m

Substitute into equation 3

T = 59.11²(0.039)

T = 136.27 N

Hence the tension in the cord = 136.27 N

d. air pressure decreases as altitude increases.

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

hope this
