Answer:

Explanation:

If there is only 1 force, the body can never be in equilibrium, providing that the force is not zero (and that would hardly be a force. Zero is possible in math and it means something. It is debatable in physics).

You cannot think of a condition where something is stationary on planet earth and there are not 2 forces or more forces involved.

Think of something like a block of wood sitting on a table. It is not moving, we'll say. Gravity is holding it down, but what is pushing up on it?

The table is. There are 2 forces and they are equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction. That matters.

I choose the option D.
The velocity is constant, so it’s acceleration is 0 m/s^2.
X = 2 + 15 x 1 + 0 = 17 m

A sound wave propagates through a region filled with an ideal gas at constant temperature T. It approaches an acoustically perme

Answer:

The answer is <em>e.2</em>

Explanation:

We should make use of Snell's refractive law. The arriving wave has a certain velocity at T in a medium, then instantly it reaches a medium (same composition) at T' where velocity would either decrease or increase.

When the incidence angle is 30 °, and we want to make the refraction angle 90 ° such that no sound passes through the barrier (this would be named total internal refraction), so we want the second medium to be "faster" than in the first.

A wave traveling in the positive x-direction with a frequency of 50.0 Hz is shown in the figure below. Find the following values

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. The amplitude is the measure of the height of the wave from the midline to the top of the wave or the midline to the bottom of the wave (called crests). The midline then divides the whole height in half. Thus, the amplitude of this wave is 9.0 cm.

b. Wavelength is measured from the highest point of one wave to the highest point of the next wave (or from the lowest point of one wave to the lowest point of the next wave, since they are the same). The wavelength of this wave then is 20.0 cm. or $\lambda=20.0cm$
