A string of mass 60.0 g and length 2.0 m is fixed at both ends and with 500 N in tension. a. If a wave is sent along this string, what will be the wave's speed? A second wave is sent in the string, what is the new speed of each of the two waves?

Your starship, the aimless wanderer, lands on the mysterious planet mongo. as chief scientist-engineer, you make the following measurements: a 2.50-kg stone thrown upward from the ground at 14.0 m/s returns to the ground in 5.70 s ; the circumference of mongo at the equator is 2.20×10^5 km ; and there is no appreciable atmosphere on mongo. (a) the starship commander, captain confusion, asks for the following information: what is the mass of mongo? (b) if the aimless wanderer goes into a circular orbit 2.20×10^4 km above the surface of mongo, how many hours will it take the ship to complete one orbit? (c) an unmanned spacecraft is in a circular orbit around the moon, observing the lunar surface from an altitude of 44.0 km . to the dismay of scientists on earth, an electrical fault causes an on-board thruster to fire, decreasing the speed of the spacecraft by 23.0 m/s . if nothing is done to correct its orbit, with what speed (in km/h) will the spacecraft crash into the lunar surface?

The electric potential a distance r from a small charge is proportional to what power of the distance from the charge? a. r^-1 b. r c. r^-2 d. r^2

Scientific models are based on current knowledge, which can limit their effectiveness when new discoveries are made.
