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!

Three particles lie in the xy plane. Particle 1 has mass m1 = 6.7 kg and lies on the x-axis at x1 = 4.2 m, y1 = 0. Particle 2 ha

Answer:

$F=18.58\times 10^{-11}\ N$

$\theta=30.276^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of first particle, $m_1=6.7\ kg$

mass of second particle, $m_2=5.1\ kg$

mass of third particle, $m_3=3.7\ kg$

coordinate position of first particle in meters, $(x_1,y_1)\equiv(4.2,0)$

coordinate position of second particle in meters, $(x_2,y_2)\equiv(0,2.8)$

coordinate position of third particle in meters, $(x_3,y_3)\equiv(0,0)$

Now, gravitational force on particle 3 due to particle 1:

$F_{31}=G\frac{m_1.m_3}{r_{31}^2}$

$F_{31}=6.67\times 10^{-11} \times \frac{6.7\times 3.7}{4.2^2}$

$F_{31}=9.37\times 10^{-11}\ N$

towards positive Y axis.

gravitational force on particle 3 due to particle 2:

$F_{32}=G\frac{m_2.m_3}{r_{21}^2}$

$F_{32}=6.67\times 10^{-11} \times \frac{5.1\times 3.7}{2.8^2}$

$F_{32}=16.05\times 10^{-11}\ N$

towards positive X axis.

Now the net force

$F=\sqrt{F_{31}\ ^2+F_{32}\ ^2}$

$F=\sqrt{(10^{-11})^2(9.37^2+16.05^2)}$

$F=18.58\times 10^{-11}\ N$

For angle in counterclockwise direction from the +x-axis

$tan\theta=\frac{9.37\times 10^{-11}}{16.05\times 10^{-11}}$

$\theta=30.276^{\circ}$

These questions !plz !! i need help!!!

(6) Wagon B is at rest so it has no momentum at the start. If v is the velocity of the wagons locked together, then

(140 kg) (15 m/s) = (140 kg + 200 kg) v

==> v ≈ 6.2 m/s

(7) False. If you double the time it takes to perform the same amount of work, then you halve the power output:

E / (2t ) = 1/2 × E/t = 1/2 P

Best friends Kate and Diana are at the park, watching their children play together. Kate reminds Diana about

Scorpion4ik [409]

Kate's recollection of these different events along her life best exemplifies the use of her episodic memory.

<h3>What is episodic memory?</h3>

The term episodic memory makes reference to conscious personal background experiences that were collected along life.

Episodic memory is also defined as the collection of all life-day experiences collected by a person.

The episodic memory may be, for example, the first day when a person drove his/her car or a bike.

An object is dropped from a height of 25 meters. At what velocity will it hit the ground?

Goryan [66]

You can use Vf^2-Vi^2 = 2ax

Vf^2 - 0 = 2(9.81)(25)

Or you can use energy

mgh = 1/2mv^2

2gh =v^2

Same thing
