Answer: 5 m/s^2

Explanation: You have to use a kinematics equation that Includes what you are given. So in this case you have Initial velocity, final velocity, and time. You’re looking for acceleration so you have everything you need to use an equation, the one without distance.

miskamm [114]

Answer:
The variable manipulated or controlled by the experimenter is called the independent variable.

Example:
If the flow velocity at the bottom of a tank is measured by varying the height of water in the tank, we are measuring velocity as a function of water height.
Therefore,
water height = independent variable (controlled)
velocity = dependent variable (measured in response to water height).

Mathematically,
v = f(h)
where v = response variable (dependent)
h = controlled variable (independent).

A wave travels at a constant speed. How does the frequency change if the wavelength increases by a factor of 2?

NARA [144]

Answer : The frequency decreases by a factor of 2.

Explanation :

Given that the wave travels at a constant speed. The speed of the wave is given as :

$v=\nu\times \lambda$

Where

υ is the frequency of the wave

and λ is the wavelength of the wave.

In this case, the speed is constant. So, the relation between the frequency and the wavelength is inverse.

$\nu\propto \dfrac{1}{\lambda}$

If the wavelength increases by a factor of 2, its frequency will decrease by a factor of 2.

Hence, the correct option is (A) " The frequency decreases by a factor of 2 ".

What is the magnitude of the velocity when the elastic potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy? (Assume that U=0 at equi

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

General Equation of SHM is given by

$x=A\cos \omega t$

$v=-A\omega \sin \omega t$

where x=position of particle

A=maximum Amplitude

$\omega =$ angular frequency

t=time

At any time Total Energy is the sum of kinetic Energy and Elastic potential Energy i.e. $\frac{1}{2}kA^2$

where k=spring constant

Potential Energy is given by $U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

also it is given that Potential Energy(U) is equal to Kinetic Energy(K)

Total Energy $=K+U$

Total $=2U=2\times \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

$\frac{1}{2}kA^2=2\times \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

$x=\pm \frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}$

at $x=\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}$

velocity is $v=\frac{A\omega}{\sqrt{2}}$
