Describe how the frequency and period of a wave are related

1 answer:

5 0

We are talking about some periodic phenomenon. so, period is the amount of time T it takes to repeat itself, and frequency is the number of times f it repeats in one time.

A hula hoop is rolling along the ground with a translational speed of 26 ft/s. It rolls up a hill that is 16 ft high. Determine

nikklg [1K]

Answer:12.8 ft/s

Explanation:

Given

Speed of hoop $v=26\ ft/s$

height of top $h=16\ ft$

Initial energy at bottom is

$E_b=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2$

Where m=mass of hoop

I=moment of inertia of hoop

$\omega$ =angular velocity

for pure rolling $v=\omega R$

$I=mR^2$

$E_b=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}mR^2\times (\frac{v}{R})^2$

$E_b=mv^2=m(26)^2=676m$

Energy required to reach at top

$E_T=mgh=m\times 32.2\times 16$

$E_T=512.2m$

Thus 512.2 m is converted energy is spent to raise the potential energy of hoop and remaining is in the form of kinetic and rotational energy

$\Delta E=676m-512.2m=163.8m$

Therefore

$163.8 m=mv^2$

$v=\sqrt{163.8}$

$v=12.798\approx 12.8\ ft/s$

Study the interaction of the light rays with the mediums. Classify the medium in each image as being transparent or opaque.

Tresset [83]

Answer:

a) transparent

b) transparent

c) opaque

Explanation:

In the first one, the light rays go completely through, so it is transparent.

The second one I'm not too sure about. It is refraction so it's going through a different material, but the fact that it went through makes me say transparent.

Last one, the light rays are reflecting off the surface so it's opaque.

Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. This is just my understanding

Which of the following is the best example of kinetic energy being transformed into potential energy?

devlian [24]

Answer:

coasting down hill on a bicycle

Explanation:

Coasting down the hill on a bicycle is a typical example of how kinetic energy is being transformed to potential energy in a system.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body, it can be derived using the expression below;

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}$ m v²

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body. It can be derived using;

P.E = mgh

m is the mass

v is the velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

Now, at the top of the hill, the potential energy is at the maximum. As the bicycle coasts down the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Does the charge that flows into the capacitor during the charging go all the way through the capacitor and back to the battery,

snow_lady [41]

The capacitor is used to store electric charge.That is what makes capacitors special. 
The charge that flows into the capacitor is stored on the plate of the capacitor that the source voltage is connected to. When current flows into a capacitor, the charges get “stuck” on the plates because they can’t get past the insulating dielectric. One plate is positively charged and the other negatively The stationary charges on these plates create an electric field. When charges group together on a capacitor like this, the cap is storing electric energy just as a battery might store chemical energy.

It is relatively easy to strip the outer electrons from a heavy atom like that of uranium (which then becomes a uranium ion), bu

-Dominant- [34]

Answer: it is very difficult to remove the inner electrons from an atom because of the strong electrostatic force of attraction by the nucleus. In contrast, it is very easy to remove the outer electrons from an atom because the electrostatic force of attraction from the nucleus is not strong enough to hold the outer electrons hence it is removed.
