Select three standard units of the metric system.

A rope has one end tied to a vertical support. You hold the other end so that the rope is horizontal. If you move the end of the

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

c. 2 m/s

Explanation:

The relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by:

$v=f \lambda$

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is its frequency

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the transverse wave in this problem, we have:

$f = 4 Hz$ is the frequency

$\lambda=0.5 m$ is the wavelength

Substituting these numbers into the equation, we find the speed of the wave:

$v=(4 Hz)(0.5 m)=2 m/s$

Explain how a persons mother and father can both exhibit or show a trait but their children may not exhibit the trait

beks73 [17]

People have dominant and recessive traits. If there are more dominant traits or the recessive trait just was barely there the parents might not show it while their child could show that recessive trait

Which list of properties of alternation current is the most likely reason it was chosen over direct current to provide electrici

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

- Direct current is a current in which electrons flow in one direction only

- Alternating current is a current in which the direction of the electron flow reverses periodically - so, half a cycle forward, half a cycle backward

There are several advantages of using alternating currents for the transmission of electricity across a country, over large distances. The main advantages are:

- The voltage of alternating currents can be easily increased/decreased by using transformers. For instance, a transformer is used at the beginning of the transmission line to increase the voltage (electricity is transmitted at high voltage in order to reduce dissipated power), and then another transformer is used before the electricity enters the houses, in order to decrease the voltage. Transformers only work with alternating currents.

- It is easy to interrupt the flow of an alternating current, because its value naturally becomes zero every half a cycle, so this is useful in case the current must be interrupted.

A large, metallic, spherical shell has no net charge. It is supported on an insulating stand and has a small hole at the top. A

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

(a) Negative Q

(b) Positive Q

Explanation:

Charge is the inherent property of matter due to the transference of electrons.

There are three methods of charging a body.

(i) Charging by friction: When two uncharged bodies rubbed together, then one body gets positive charged and the other is negatively charges it is due to the transference of electrons form one body to another.

(ii) Conduction: when a charged body comes in contact with the another uncharged body, the uncharged body gets the same charge and the charge is distributed equally.

(iii) Induction: When a uncharged body keep near the charged body, the uncharged body gets the same amount of charge but opposite in sign.

(a) When a small tack of charge Q is lowered into the hole, then due to the process of induction, the charge on the inner surface of the shell is - Q.

(b) Due to the process of conduction, the charge on the outer surface of the shell is Q.

The barricade at the end of a subway line has a large spring designed to compress 2.00 m when stopping a 1.10 ✕ 105 kg train mov

Mrac [35]

Answer:

(a) k = 1684.38 N/m = 1.684 KN/m

(b) Vi = 0.105 m/s

(c) F = 1010.62 N = 1.01 KN

Explanation:

(a)

First, we find the deceleration of the car. For that purpose we use 3rd equation of motion:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

a = (Vf² - Vi²)/2s

where,

a = deceleration = ?

Vf = final velocity = 0 m/s (since, train finally stops)

Vi = Initial Velocity = 0.35 m/s

s = distance covered by train before stopping = 2 m

Therefore,

a = [(0 m/s)² - (0.35 m/s)²]/(2)(2 m)

a = 0.0306 m/s²

Now, we calculate the force applied on spring by train:

F = ma

F = (1.1 x 10⁵ kg)(0.0306 m/s²)

F = 3368.75 N

Now, for force constant, we use Hooke's Law:

F = kΔx

where,

k = Force Constant = ?

Δx = Compression = 2 m

Therefore.

3368.75 N = k(2 m)

k = (3368.75 N)/(2 m)

k = 1684.38 N/m = 1.684 KN/m

(c)

Applying Hooke's Law with:

Δx = 0.6 m

F = (1684.38 N/m)(0.6 m)

F = 1010.62 N = 1.01 KN

(b)

Now, the acceleration required for this force is:

F = ma

1010.62 N = (1.1 kg)a

a = 1010.62 N/1.1 x 10⁵ kg

a = 0.0092 m/s²

Now, we find initial velocity of train by using 3rd equation of motion:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

a = (Vf² - Vi²)/2s

where,

a = deceleration = -0.0092 m/s² (negative sign due to deceleration)

Vf = final velocity = 0 m/s (since, train finally stops)

Vi = Initial Velocity = ?

s = distance covered by train before stopping = 0.6 m

Therefore,

-0.0092 m/s² = [(0 m/s)² - Vi²]/(2)(0.6 m)

Vi = √(0.0092 m/s²)(1.2 m)

Vi = 0.105 m/s
