Answer:

True...

Explanation:

When these high amplitude vibrations impinge upon the eardrum, they produce a very forceful displacement of the eardrum from its rest position. The ear's ability to do this allows us to perceive the pitch of sounds by detection of the wave's frequencies, the loudness of sound by detection of the wave's ...

When the sound waves hit your eardrum, they cause it to vibrate—the same way that a real drum vibrates when you hit it with a drumstick. The vibrations in your eardrum are then transferred via three tiny bones inside your ear into a fluid-filled chamber called the cochlea (pronounced KOK-lee-uh).

Answer:

True: For a sound wave to propagate, air particles must be displaced in the direction of propagation - it is the displacement of these particles that causes the eardrum to vibrate and recognize the sound.

Ahhh this going to be confusing sorry...
1. α = Δω / Δt = 28 rad/s / 19s = 1.47 rad/s²

2. Θ = ½αt² = ½ * 1.47rad/s² * (19s)² = 266 rads

3. I = ½mr² = ½ * 8.7kg * (0.33m)² = 0.47 kg·m²

4. ΔEk = ½Iω² = ½ * 0.47kg·m² * (28rad/s)² = 186 J

5. a = α r = 1.47rad/s² * 0.33m = 0.49 m/s²

6. a = ω² r = (14rad/s)² * 0.33m = 65 m/s²

7. v = ω r = 28rad/s * ½(0.33m) = 4.62 m/s

8. s = Θ r = 266 rads * 0.33m = 88 m

Two particles with masses 2m and 9m are moving toward each other along the x axis with the same initial speeds vi. Particle 2m i

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The final speed for the mass 2m is $v_{2y}=-1,51\ v_{i}$ and the final speed for the mass 9m is $v_{1f} =0,85\ v_{i}$ .

The angle at which the particle 9m is scattered is $\theta = -66,68^{o}$ with respect to the - y axis.

Explanation:

In an elastic collision the total linear momentum and the total kinetic energy is conserved.

<u>Conservation of linear momentum:</u>

Because the linear momentum is a vector quantity we consider the conservation of the components of momentum in the x and y axis.

The subindex 1 will refer to the particle 9m and the subindex 2 will refer to the particle 2m

$\vec{p}=m\vec{v}$

$p_{xi} =p_{xf}$

In the x axis before the collision we have

$p_{xi}=9m\ v_{i} - 2m\ v_{i}$

and after the collision we have that

$p_{xf} =9m\ v_{1x}$

In the y axis before the collision $p_{yi} =0$

after the collision we have that

$p_{yf} =9m\ v_{1y} - 2m\ v_{2y}$

$p_{xi} =p_{xf} \\7m\ v_{i} =9m\ v_{1x}\Rightarrow v_{1x} =\frac{7}{9}\ v_{i}$

then

$p_{yi} =p_{yf} \\0=9m\ v_{1y} -2m\ v_{2y} \\v_{1y}=\frac{2}{9} \ v_{2y}$

<u>Conservation of kinetic energy:</u>

$\frac{1}{2}\ 9m\ v_{i} ^{2} +\frac{1}{2}\ 2m\ v_{i} ^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\ 9m\ v_{1f} ^{2} +\frac{1}{2}\ 2m\ v_{2f} ^{2}$

$\frac{11}{2}\ m\ v_{i} ^{2} =\frac{1}{2} \ 9m\ [(\frac{7}{9}) ^{2}\ v_{i} ^{2}+ (\frac{2}{9}) ^{2}\ v_{2y} ^{2}]+ m\ v_{2y} ^{2}$

Putting in one side of the equation each speed we get

$\frac{25}{9}\ m\ v_{i} ^{2} =\frac{11}{9}\ m\ v_{2y} ^{2}\\v_{2y} =-1,51\ v_{i}$

We know that the particle 2m travels in the -y axis because it was stated in the question.

Now we can get the y component of the speed of the 9m particle:

$v_{1y} =\frac{2}{9}\ v_{2y} \\v_{1y} =-0,335\ v_{i}$

the magnitude of the final speed of the particle 9m is

$v_{1f} =\sqrt{v_{1x} ^{2}+v_{1y} ^{2} }$

$v_{1f} =\sqrt{(\frac{7}{9}) ^{2}\ v_{i} ^{2}+(-0,335)^{2}\ v_{i} ^{2} }\Rightarrow \ v_{1f} =0,85\ v_{i}$

The tangent that the speed of the particle 9m makes with the -y axis is

$tan(\theta)=\frac{v_{1x} }{v_{1y}} =-2,321 \Rightarrow\theta=-66,68^{o}$

As a vector the speed of the particle 9m is:

$\vec{v_{1f} }=\frac{7}{9} v_{i} \hat{x}-0,335\ v_{i}\ \hat{y}$

As a vector the speed of the particle 2m is:

$\vec{v_{2f} }=-1,51\ v_{i}\ \hat{y}$

PLEASE HELP ME!! What is the difference between direct current and alternating current?

Paha777 [63]

In a direct current the electric charge flows in one direction.
in an alternating the electric charge changes in its direction periodically.
