I just did this last semester... I know this is wave height!!
Vikentia [17]3 years ago

Answer:

d. Wave Height

Explanation:

Imagine my crude drawing of a sea wave is actually passable haha, so, the top of the wave is called the crest, and the lowest part of the wave, under the calm sea level, is the Trough, the vertical distance between those two points is the wave height.

As extra credit ;) the distance between two consecutive crests or two consecutive troughs is the wavelength, and this is exactly the same in radio waves!

An oil gusher shoots crude oil 25.0 m into the air through a pipe with a 0.100-m diameter. Neglecting air resistance but not the
Mariana [72]

Answer:3764.282 KPa

Explanation:

Given gusher shoots oil at h=25 m

i.e. the velocity of jet is

v=\sqrt{2gh}[/tex]

v=22.147 m/s

Now the pressure loss in pipe is given by hagen poiseuille equation

\Delta P=\frac{32L\mu v}{D^2}

\Delta P=\frac{32\times 50\times 22.147\times 1}{10^{-2}}

\Delta P=3543.557 KPa

For  25 m head in terms of Pressure

\Delta P_2=\rho \times g\times h=220.725 KPa

Total Pressure=\Delta P+\Delta P_2=3543.557+220.725=3764.282 KPa

A coffee filter of mass 1.2 grams dropped from a height of 1 m reaches the ground with a speed of 0.8 m/s. How much kinetic ener
iren [92.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The energy gained by the air molecules is 0.011 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

Here, the potential energy of the coffee filter is getting converted into kinetic energy of the coffee filter and some energy is lost by it which is gained by the air molecules in the form of kinetic energy.

So, calculating the potential energy of coffee filter, we use the equation:

P = mgh

where,

m = mass of coffee filter = 1.2 g = 1.2\times 10^{-3}kg    (Conversion used: 1 kg = 1000 g)

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

h = height of coffee filter = 1 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

P=1.2\times 10^{-3}kg\times 9.8m/s^2\times 1m\\\\P=1.176\times 10^{-2}J

  • Calculating the kinetic energy of coffee filter, we use the equation:

E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where,

m = mass of coffee filter = 1.2 g = 1.2\times 10^{-3}kg

v = speed of coffee filter = 0.8 m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2\times 10^{-3}kg\times (0.8m/s)^2\\\\E=3.84\times 10^{-4}J

As, energy lost by coffee filter = energy gained by air molecules

So, energy lost by coffee filter = Potential energy - Kinetic energy

Energy lost by coffee filter = (1.176\times 10^{-2})-(3.84\times 10^{-4})=0.011J

Hence, the energy gained by the air molecules is 0.011 J.

After driving a portion of the route, the taptap is fully loaded with a total of 26 people including the driver, with an average
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

0.44807175m

Explanation:

k = Spring constant = 4\times 10^{4}\ N/m (Assumed, as it is not given)

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Total mass is

m=26\times 67+3\times 15+5\times 3+25\\\Rightarrow m=1827\ kg

The total weight will balance the spring force

mg=kx\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{mg}{k}\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{1827\times 9.81}{4\times 10^{4}}\\\Rightarrow x=0.44807175\ m

The springs are compressed by 0.44807175m

2. A tiny pig is dropped from the top of a building and lands safely on a trampoline. The tiny pig will have
allsm [11]

Answer:

c. Kinetic energy

Explanation:

The two types of energy involved in this problem are:

- Potential energy: it is the energy possessed by an object due to its position. It is calculated as

PE=mgh

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

From the formula, we see that the higher the object is above the ground (higher h), the larger the potential energy of the object. In this problem, the pig is falling down, so the value of h is decreasing, therefore the potential energy is decreasing as well.

- Kinetic energy: it is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. It is given by:

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

In this problem, as the pig falls down, it accelerates, so its speed increases: since the kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed, as the speed increases, its kinetic energy increases too. So, the correct answer is

c. Kinetic energy
