Using the information from Paul Hewitt's Conceptual Development Practice Page 25-1 and the image below, answer the following que

stion.Image of a wave with two rulers, one vertical and one horizontal, measuring the wave is shown. The wave's first crest aligns from 0 to just less than 4 centimeters on the horizontal ruler and rises from the equilibrium located at 5 centimeters to just before 3 centimeters. The wave's first trough aligns continues to just less than 8 centimeters on the horizontal ruler and goes down from the equilibrium located at 5 centimeters to just before 7 centimeters.What was the measurement of the wavelength and amplitude respectively?

Answer:

A = 2 cm ,   λ = 8 cm

Explanation:

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum height it has, in this case the height is measured by the vertical ruler,

We are told the balance point is in the reading of 5 cm, that the maximum reading is 3 cm and the Minimum reading is 7 cm. Therefore, the distance from the ends of the ridge to the point of equilibrium is

          d = 7-5 = 2 cm

          d = 5-3 = 2 cm

          A = 2 cm

The wavelength is the minimum horizontal distance for which the wave is repeated, that is measured by the horizontal ruler.

The initial reading for 4 cm and the final reading for 8 cm, this distance corresponds to a crest of the wave, the complete wave is formed by two crests whereby the wavelength is twice this value

          Δx = 8-4 = 4 cm

          λ = 2 Δx

          λ = 8 cm

pogonyaev

If the weight of the metal disk is 1.0 N, the normal force acting on the metal disk is also 1.0 N but acting in the opposite direction.

<h3>What is the normal force?</h3>

According to Newton Law, action and reaction are equal and opposite. The reaction force is equal in magnitude to the weight of an object but opposite in direction.

Having said that, if the weight of the metal disk is 1.0 N, the normal force acting on the metal disk is also 1.0 N but acting in the opposite direction.

BRAINLEST FOR CORRECT ANSWER PLEASE
Nata [24]

Answer:

Sledgehammer A has more momentum

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Sledgehammer A = 3 Kg

Swing speed = 1.5 m/s

Mass of Sledgehammer B = 4 Kg

Swing speed = 0.9 m/s

Find:

More momentum

Computation:

Momentum = mv

Momentum sledgehammer A = 3 x 1.5

Momentum sledgehammer A = 4.5 kg⋅m/s

Momentum sledgehammer B = 4 x 0.9

Momentum sledgehammer B = 3.6 kg⋅m/s

Sledgehammer A has more momentum

Two uncharged, conducting spheres are separated by a distance d. When charge −Q is moved from sphere A to sphere B, the Coulomb
rosijanka [135]

Answer: a) the force will be repulsive

b) the ratio of the new force to the old force will be 2

c) O

Explanation:

a) since charge -Q is moved from A to B, this implies that sphere A is negatively charged. The two spheres are now negatively charged and will repel themselves.

b) initial force will be -q(-Q)/d2

Adding extra charge -Q will cause change on B to become -2Q

The new force will be - 2Q(-q)/d2

Dividing new force by old force will give 2

C) if B is neutralized, the net charge becomes 0 and there will be no force on it.

A ball thrown vertically upward is caught by the thrower after 2.93 s. Find the initial velocity of the ball. The acceleration o
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The initial velocity of the ball is 28.714 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

time of flight of the ball, t = 2.93 s

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

initial velocity of the ball, u = ?

The initial velocity of the ball is given by;

v = u + (-g)t

where;

v is the final speed of the ball at the given time, = 0

g is negative because of upward motion

0 = u -gt

u = gt

u = (9.8 x 2.93)

u = 28.714 m/s

Therefore, the initial velocity of the ball is 28.714 m/s
