Answer:

The medium determines the speed of the wave, the wavelength and frequency.

Explanation:For different media the speed of the wave will variate, because each media have different properties. The following equation makes a relation between the speed of the wave, the wavelength and the frequency:

v = \lambda.\nu (1)

Where v is the speed of the wave, \lambda is the wavelength and \nu is the frequency

Equation 1 shows that the speed of the wave is directly proportional to the product of the wavelength and the frequency. If the speed is lower the wavelength will decrease but the frequency increase, as is shown in equation 2:

\lambda = \frac{v}{\nu}   (2)

Equation 1 can be rewritten for the case of the frequency:

\nu = \frac{v}{\lambda}     (3)

So, according with equation 3, if the speed is higher the frequency will increase but the wavelength will decrease (inversely proportional).

A time-varying horizontal force F(t) = At4 + Bt2 acts for 0.500 s on a 12.25-kg object, starting attime t = 1.00 s. In the SI sy
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

3.82 Ns

Explanation:

Time varying horizontal Force is given as

F(t) = A t⁴ + B t²

F(t) = 4.50 t⁴ + 8.75 t²

Impulse imparted is given as

I = \int_{0}^{t}Fdt

I = \int_{0}^{1}Fdt

I = \int_{0}^{1}(4.50 t^{4} + 8.75 t^{2})dt

I = ((0.9) (1)^{5} + (2.92) (1)^{3})

I = 3.82 N-s

A rugby player sits on a scrum machine that weighs 200 Newtons. Given that the coefficient of static friction is 0.67, the coeff
Trava [24]

a. 850 N is the minimum force needed to get the machine/player system moving, which means this is the maximum magnitude of static friction between the system and the surface they stand on.

By Newton's second law, at the moment right before the system starts to move,

• net horizontal force

∑ F[h] = F[push] - F[s. friction] = 0

• net vertical force

∑ F[v] = F[normal] - F[weight] = 0

and we have

F[s. friction] = µ[s] F[normal]

It follows that

F[weight] = F[normal] = (850 N) / (0.67) = 1268.66 N

where F[weight] is the combined weight of the player and machine. We're given the machine's weight is 200 N, so the player weighs 1068.66 N and hence has a mass of

(1068.66 N) / g ≈ 110 kg

b. To keep the system moving at a constant speed, the second-law equations from part (a) change only slightly to

∑ F[h] = F[push] - F[k. friction] = 0

∑ F[v] = F[normal] - F[weight] = 0

so that

F[k. friction] = µ[k] F[normal] = 0.56 (1268.66 N) = 710.45 N

and so the minimum force needed to keep the system moving is

F[push] = 710.45 N ≈ 710 N
