In energy point of view, the larger stone had more potential energy before dropping. impacting the water, the larger one, having more kinetic energy which changed from potential energy, tranfered energy to the water and formed wave. the amplitude of the wave indicate the energy of the wave. more energy more amplitude.

A bucket that has a mass of 20 kg when filled with sand needs to be lifted to the top of a 15 meter tall building. You have a ro
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the top of the building,

W=67.46 Nm

Explanation:

in this question we have given

mass of bucket=20kg

mass of rope=.2\frac{kg}{m}

height of building= 15 meter

We have to find the work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the building =work done in lifting the rope + work done in lifting the sand

work done in lifting the rope is given as,W_{1}=Force \times displacement

=\int\limits^{15}_0 {.2x} \, dx ..............(1)

=.1\times 15^2

=22.5 Nm

work done in lifting the sand is given as,W_{2}=Force \times displacement

W_{2}=\int\limits^{15}_0 F \, dx.................(2)

Here,

F=mx+c

here,

c=20-18

c=2

m=\frac{20-18}{15-0}

m=.133

Therefore,

F=.133x+2

Put value of F in equation 2

W_{2}=\int\limits^{15}_0 (.133x+2) \, dx

W_{2}=.133 \times 112.5+2\times15\\W_{2}=14.96+30\\W_{2}=44.96 Nm

Therefore,

work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the top of the building,W=W_{1}+W_{2}

W=22.5 Nm+44.96 Nm

W=67.46 Nm

9) What will happen to the period of a pendulum if we change the rope of a pendulum with another which is four times with the in
Arturiano [62]

Double

Explanation:

Since the period T of a pendulum is given by

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}

By increasing the length of the pendulum by 4, the period becomes

T' = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{4l}{g}} = 2\left(2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}\right) = 2T

You can see that the period doubles when we increase the length by a factor of 4.

Which wave characteristics is defined as the number of cycles of a periodic wave occurring per unit time?
Assoli18 [71]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Frequency

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Waves are disturbances that travel through a material medium. There are several characteristics of waves, which includes; wavelength, frequency, period and amplitude. </u></em>
  • Amplitude is the maximum displacement of wave particles, or simply the height of the wave, measured in meters.
  • Wavelength is the distance between adjacent crests or troughs in a transverse wave or between two successive rarefaction or compressions in a longitudinal wave, measured in meters.
  • Period is the time it takes for one complete wave to pass a given point, measured in seconds.
  • <em><u>Frequency is the number of complete waves or cycles that pass a point in one second, measured is inverse seconds, or Hertz (Hz).</u></em>

What is the theory of light?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Corpuscular theory of light

Explanation:

In optics, the corpuscular theory of light, arguably set forward by Descartes in 1637, states that light is made up of small discrete particles called "corpuscles" which travel in a straight line with a finite velocity and possess impetus. This was based on an alternate description of atomism of the time period.
