Transverse, longitudinal, & surface waves. Which wave causes the medium to vibrate only in a direction parallel to the wave's motion?

A longitudinal wave is a mechanical wave that causes the medium to vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Its wave’s forces travel through multiple rarefactions and compressions where compression is the closest distance in the longitudinal wave and rarefaction is the farthest distance apart in the said wave.

Two light bulbs are 2.0 m apart. From what distance can these light bulbs be marginally resolved by a small telescope with a 4.5

andrezito [222]

Answer:

R = 1.2295 10⁵ m

Explanation:

After reading your problem they give us the diameter of the lens d = 4.50 cm = 0.0450 m, therefore if we use the Rayleigh criterion for the resolution in the diffraction phenomenon, we have that the minimum separation occurs in the first minimum of diffraction of one of the bodies m = 1 coincides with the central maximum of the other body

θ = 1.22 λ / D

where the constant 1.22 leaves the resolution in polar coordinates and D is the lens aperture

how angles are measured in radians

θ = y / R

where y is the separation of the two bodies (bulbs) y = 2 m and R the distance from the bulbs to the lens

$\frac{y}{R} = 1.22 \frac{ \lambda}{D}$

R = $\frac{ y \ D}{1.22 \lambda}$

let's calculate

R = $\frac{ 2 \ 0.045}{ 1.22 \ 600 \ 10^{-9}}$

R = 1.2295 10⁵ m

If a car moves with a uniform speed of 2m/s in a circle of radius 0.4m, what is its angular speed?

REY [17]

Answer:

The car's angular speed is $\frac{rad}{s}$ .

Explanation:

Angular velocity is usually measured with $\frac{radians}{sec}$ , so I'm going to use that to answer your question.

The relationship between tangential velocity and angular velocity (ω) is given by:

$V = \omega R$

Using the values from the question, we get:

$2 \frac{m}{s} = \omega (0.4m)$

$\omega = 5 \frac{rad}{s}$

Therefore, the car's angular speed is $5 \frac{rad}{s}$ .

Hope this helped!

Two 10 kg pucks head straight towards each other with velocities of 10 m/s and -20 m/s. They collide and stick together. Calcula

RUDIKE [14]

The final velocity of the two pucks is -5 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum.

In fact, in absence of external force, the total momentum of the two pucks before and after the collision must be conserved - so we can write:

$m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1 +m_2)v$

where

$m_1 = m_2 = m = 10 kg$ is the mass of each puck

$u_1 = 10 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the 1st puck

$u_2 = -20 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the 2nd puck

v is the final velocity of the two pucks sticking together

Re-arranging the equation and solving for v, we find:

$mu_1 + mu_2 = (m+m)v\\u_1 + u_2 = 2v\\v=\frac{u_1+u_2}{2}=\frac{10-20}{2}=-5 m/s$

Statement A: Area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.4 mm.

pochemuha

Explanation:

Formula for calculating the area of a rectangle A = Length *width

For statement A;

Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.4 mm.

Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.4mm

Area of the rectangle = 3.5504mm²

The rule of significant figures states that we should always convert the answer to the least number of significant figure amount the given value in question. Since 1.4mm has 2 significant figure, hence we will convert our answer to 2 significant figure.

Area of the rectangle = 3.6mm² (to 2sf)

For statement B;

Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.41 mm.

Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.41mm

Area of the rectangle = 3.57576mm²

Similarly, Since 1.41mm has 3 significant figure compare to 2.536 that has 4sf, hence we will convert our answer to 3 significant figure.

Area of the rectangle = 3.58mm² (to 3sf)

Based on the conversion, it can be seen that 3.6mm² is greater than 3.58mm², hence the area of rectangle in statement A is greater than the area of the rectangle in statement B.
