Velocity is the rate of change of position with respect to time, whereas acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Both are vector quantities (and so also have a specified direction), but the units of velocity are meters per second while the units of acceleration are meters per second squared.
'In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the flow of energy' is true for transverse waves only.
'In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the flow of energy' is true for longitudinal waves only.
'Many wave motions in nature are a combination of longitudinal and transverse motion' is true for both longitudinal and transverse waves.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Longitudinal waves are those where the direction of propagation of particles are parallel to the medium' particles. While transverse waves propagate perpendicular to the medium' particles.
As wave motions are assumed to be of standing waves which comprises of particles moving parallel as well as perpendicular to the medium, most of the wave motions are composed of longitudinal and transverse motion.
So the option stating the medium' particle moves perpendicular to the direction of the energy flow is true for transverse waves. Similarly, the option stating the medium' particle moves parallel to the direction of flow of energy is true for longitudinal waves only.
And the option stating that wave motions comprises of combination of longitudinal and transverse motion is true for both of them.
Answer: C and D
Explanation: I’m pretty sure it’s C and D I got the same question but cold water let me know please, thanks!
Answer:
Average speed = 2.5 mph
Distance = 22.352 meters
Explanation:
Calculate speed, distance or time using the formula d = st, distance equals speed times time.
Calculate speed, distance or time using the formula d = st, distance equals speed times time.
You can use this formula for any question like this
Answer:
a) x = 4.33 m
, b) w = 2 rad / s
, f = 0.318 Hz
, c) a = - 17.31 cm / s²,
d) T = 3.15 s, e) A = 5.0 cm
Explanation:
In this exercise on simple harmonic motion we are given the expression for motion
x = 5 cos (2t + π / 6)
they ask us for t = 0
a) the position of the particle
x = 5 cos (π / 6)
x = 4.33 m
remember angles are in radians
b) The general form of the equation is
x = A cos (w t + Ф)
when comparing the two equations
w = 2 rad / s
angular velocity and frequency are related
w = 2π f
f = w / 2π
f = 2 / 2pi
f = 0.318 Hz
c) the acceleration is defined by
a == d²x / dt²
a = - A w² cos (wt + Ф)
for t = 0
, we substitute
a = - 5,0 2² cos (π / 6)
a = - 17.31 cm / s²
d) El period is
T = 1/f
T= 1/0.318
T = 3.15 s
e) the amplitude
A = 5.0 cm
