Harrizon [31]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

The wave is traveling in the +x direction.

Explanation:

The equation of a wave is given by the formula as :

$y(x,t)=A\ sin(kx-\omega t)$

Here,

A is the amplitude of wave

$(kx-\omega t)$ is the phase of wave

$\omega$ is the angular frequency of the wave

We need to find the correct statement out of given options. The given equation can be rewritten as :

$y(x,t)=A\ sin(\omega t-kx)$

Here, the propagation constant is negative. So, the wave is moving in +x direction. Hence, the correct option is (a).

The force of the added water produces a torque on the dam. In a simple model, if the torque due to the water were enough to caus

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The appropriate response is " $\tau=\frac{1}{6} PgLh^3$ ". A further explanation is described below.

Explanation:

The torque ( $\tau$ ) produced by the force on the dam will be:

⇒ $d \tau=XdF$

On applying integration both sides, we get

⇒ $\tau = \int_{0}^{a}x pgL(h-x)dx$

⇒ $= pgL\int_{0}^{h}(h-x)dx$

⇒ $=pgL[\frac{h^3}{2} -\frac{h^3}{3} ]$

⇒ $=\frac{1}{6} PgLh^3$

Two equipotential surfaces surround a +3.10 x 10-8-c point charge. how far is the 290-v surface from the 41.0-v surface?

MrMuchimi

T<span>he equation to be used here to determine the distance between two equipotential points is:
V = k * Q / r

where v is the voltage of the point, k is a constant, Q is charge of the point measured in coloumbs and r is the distance.
In this case, we can use ratio of proportions to determine the distance between the two points. in this respect,

Point 1:
V = k * Q / r = 290
r = k*Q/290 ; kQ = 290r

Point 2:
V = k * Q / R = 41
R = k*Q/41
from equation 10 kQ = 290r
R = 290/(41)= 7.07 m
The distance between the two points then is equal to 7.07 m.

An airplane traveling 919 m above the ocean at 505 m/s is to drop a case of twinkies to the victims below. How much time before

Elena L [17]

Answer:

a. 13.7 s b. 6913.5 m

Explanation:

a. How much time before being directly overhead should the box be dropped?

Since the box falls under gravity we use the equation

y = ut - 1/2gt² where y = height of plane above ocean = 919 m, u = initial vertical velocity of airplane = 0 m/s, g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s² and t = time it takes the airplane to be directly overhead.

So,

y = ut - 1/2gt²

y = 0 × t - 1/2gt²

y = 0 - 1/2gt²

y = - 1/2gt²

t² = -2y/g

t = √(-2y/g)

So, t = √(-2 × 919 m/-9.8 m/s²)

t = √(-1838 m/-9.8 m/s²)

t = √(187.551 m²/s²)

t = 13.69 s

t ≅ 13.7 s

So, the box should be dropped 13.69 s before being directly overhead.

b. What is the horizontal distance between the plane and the victims when the box is dropped?

The horizontal distance x between plane and victims, x = speed of plane × time it takes for box to drop = 505 m/s × 13.69 s = 6913.45 m ≅ 6913.5 m
