Give two reasons why circular water waves decrease in amplitude

1 answer:

3 0

1. friction between water molecules
2. the wave spreads out onto a larger and larger area, so per unit area, the energy of the wave goes down

A nutrition label indicates that one serving of apple crisp oatmeal has 2.5 grams of fat. How many grams of fat are there in 3.7

kozerog [31]

Use cross multiplication to answer this. Since there is 2.5 grams in 1 serving, you would set it up with grams of fat being the numerator and servings being the denominator, like this:
2.5 / 1 = x / 3.75
Then just do the algebra:
(2.5 / 1) * (3.75) = x
And the answer is:
9.375 = x

If a car has an initial velocity of 20 m/s and accelerates at 2.0 m/s2 for 100 m, what is its final velocity?

rodikova [14]

Answer:

28.28 ms-1

Explanation:

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 20² + 2×2×100

v²= 800

v = 28.28 ms-1

3) A driver in a 1000-kg car traveling at 24 m/s slams on the brakes and skids to a stop. If the coefticient of friction between

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

A) 37 m

Explanation:

The car is moving of uniformly accelerated motion, so the distance it covers can be calculated by using the following SUVAT equation:

$v^2 -u^2 = 2ad$ (1)

where

v = 0 m/s is the final velocity of the car

u = 24 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d is the length of the skid

We need to find the acceleration first. We know that the force responsible for the (de)celeration is the force of friction, so:

$F=ma=-\mu mg$

where

m = 1000 kg is the mass of the car

$\mu = 0.80$ is the coefficient of friction

a is the deceleration of the car

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

The negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction is against the motion of the car, so the sign of the acceleration will be negative because the car is slowing down. From this equation, we find:

$a=-\mu g$
