Answer:

Acceleration of gravity= $9.8m/s/s$

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law-acceleration is proportional to the net force acting on an object.

All objects usually free fall at the same acceleration of $9.8m/s/s$ -this regardless of their mass. This acceleration is known as acceleration of gravity.

Two transverse waves travel along the same taut string. Wave 1 is described by y1(x, t) = A sin(kx - ωt), while wave 2 is descri

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

6) Wave 1 travels in the positive x-direction, while wave 2 travels in the negative x-direction.

Explanation:

What matters is the part $kx \pm \omega t$ , the other parts of the equation don't affect time and space variations. We know that when the sign is - the wave propagates to the positive direction while when the sign is + the wave propagates to the negative direction, but here is an explanation of this:

For both cases, + and -, after a certain time $\delta t$ ( $\delta t >0$ ), the displacement y of the wave will be determined by the $kx\pm\omega (t+\delta t)$ term. For simplicity, if we imagine we are looking at the origin (x=0), this will be simply $\pm \omega (t+\delta t)$ .

To know which side, right or left of the origin, would go through the origin after a time $\delta t$ (and thus know the direction of propagation) we have to see how we can achieve that same displacement y not by a time variation but by a space variation $\delta x$ (we would be looking where in space is what we would have in the future in time). The term would be then $k(x+\delta x)\pm\omega t$ , which at the origin is $k \delta x \pm \omega t$ . This would mean that, when the original equation has $kx+\omega t$ , we must have that $\delta x>0$ for $k\delta x+\omega t$ to be equal to $kx+\omega\delta t$ , and when the original equation has $kx-\omega t$ , we must have that $\delta x$ for $k\delta x-\omega t$ to be equal to $kx-\omega \delta t$

Note that their values don't matter, although they are a very small variation (we have to be careful since all this is inside a sin function), what matters is if they are positive or negative and as such what is possible or not .

In conclusion, when $kx+\omega t$ , the part of the wave on the positive side ( $\delta x>0$ ) is the one that will go through the origin, so the wave is going in the negative direction, and viceversa.

The metal ions in iron are held together by

Sidana [21]

Metals are giant structures of atoms held together by metallic bonds. “Giant” implies that large but variable numbers of Atoms are involved - depending on the size of the bits of metal. most metals are close packed - that is, they fit as many items as possible into the available volume.
