Apiano wire with mass 3.00 g and length 80.0 cm is stretched with a tension of 25.0 n. a wave with frequency 120.0 hz and amplitude 1.6 mm travels along the wire.
(a) calculate the average power carried by the wave.
(b) what happens to the average power if the wave amplitude is halved.

(a) = 0.22 W

(b) = 0.056 W

Explanation:

given information:

the mass of piano wire, m = 3.00 g = 0.003 kg

tension, F = 25 N

length, l = 80 cm = 0.8 m

frequency, f = 120 Hz

amplitude, A = 1.6 mm = 0.0016 m

(a) the average power carried by the wave,

= (√μF)ω²A²

where,

ω = 2πf = 2π120 = 754

μ =

  =

  = 0.00375 kg/m

thus,

= (√(0.00375)(25))(754)²(0.0016)²

= 0.22 W

(b) What happens to the average power if the wave amplitude is halved.

based on the equation above, we know that the average power is proportional to the square amplitude. therefore

=

= 0.056 W

explanation:

as the height from which the ruler was dropped increased, the speed of the ruler at ryan's hand increased.

what experimental evidence led scientists to change from the previous model to this one?

a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies.

experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.
