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).

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

She covers the distance is 12 km.

The magnitude of displacement is 8.6 km.

The direction of her displacement is north east.

Explanation:

Given that,

Christina drives his moped 7 kilometers North and stop for lunch and then drive 5 km east.

We need to calculate the total distance

Using formula of distance

$d=d_{1}+d_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$d=7+5$

$d=12\ km$

We need to calculate the magnitude of displacement

Using formula of displacement

$D=xi+yj$

$D=5i+7j$

$D=\sqrt{5^2+7^2}$

$D= 8.6\ km$

The direction of her displacement is north east.

Hence, She covers the distance is 12 km.

The magnitude of displacement is 8.6 km.

The direction of her displacement is north east.

1) The gravitational force between Ellen and the moon is $1.56\cdot 10^{-3} N$

2) The two forces are equal, while the acceleration of the bus is smaller than the acceleration of the bicycle.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

$m_1, m_2$ are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, we have:

$m_1 = 47 kg$ is the mass of Ellen

$m_2 = 7.35\cdot 10^{22} kg$ is the mass of the moon

$r=3.84\cdot 10^8 m$ is the distance between Ellen and the moon

Substituting, we find the gravitational force between Ellen and the moon:

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(47)(7.35\cdot 10^{22})}{(3.84\cdot 10^8)^2}=1.56\cdot 10^{-3} N$

We can analyze the forces acting in the collision between the bus and the bicycle by using Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"

Applied to our problem, this means that the force exerted by the bus on the bicycle during the collision (action force) is equal (and opposite) to the force exerted by the bicycle on the bus (reaction force).

Now let's analyze the accelerations of the two vehicles. We can find the acceleration of each vehicle by using Newton's second law:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

where

a is the acceleration

F is the force exerted on the vehicle

m is the mass of the vehicle

As we said previously, the force F exerted on each of the two vehicles: so, the acceleration only depends on the mass. In particular, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass: therefore, the larger the mass of the vehicle, the smaller the acceleration. This means that the acceleration of the bus is smaller than the acceleration of the bicycle.
