The amplitude of a paricular wave is 4.0 m. The crest to trough distance

kozerog [31]

Answer:

The crest to trough distance = 8 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The amplitude of a particular wave is 4.0 m.

We need to find the crest to trough distance.

We know that,

Amplitude = The distance from the base line to the crest or the the distance from the baseline to the trough.

It means,

Distance from crest to trough = 2(Amplitude)

= 2(4)

= 8 m

Hence, the crest to trough distance is equal to 8 m.

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Tangential speed=5.4 m/s

Radial acceleration= $88.6m/s^2$

Explanation:

We are given that

Angular speed=2.59 rev/s

We know that

1 revolution= $2\pi rad$

2.59 rev= $2\pi\times 2.59=5.18\pi=5.18\times 3.14=16.27 rad/s$

By using $\pi=3.14$

Angular velocity= $\omega=16.27rad/s$

Distance from axis=r=0.329 m

Tangential speed= $r\omega=16.27\times 0.329=5.4m/s$

Radial acceleration= $\frac{v^2}{r}$

Radial acceleration= $\frac{(5.4)^2}{0.329}=88.6m/s^2$

A rocket achieves a lift-off velocity of 500.0 m/s from rest in 30.0 seconds. Calculate the average acceleration of the rocket.

Anettt [7]

Answer:

The average acceleration is 16.6 m/s² ⇒ 1st answer

Explanation:

A rocket achieves a lift-off velocity of 500.0 m/s from rest in

30.0 seconds

The given is:

→ The initial velocity = 0

→ The final velocity = 500 meters per seconds

→ The time is 30 seconds

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of the rocket

→ $a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where a is the acceleration, v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity

and t is the time

→ u = 0 , v = 500 m/s , t = 30 s

Substitute these values in the rule

→ $a=\frac{500-0}{30}=\frac{500}{30}=16.6$ m/s²

<em>The average acceleration is 16.6 m/s²</em>
