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

If the force of gravity suddenly stopped acting on the planets, they would
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:c

Explanation:

If the Force of gravity suddenly stops acting on Planets then Planets would continue to move straight in the initial direction.

Gravity constantly acts on Planets to change their trajectory each instant thus in absence of it if a planet is moving in a circular path then it would follow the path of the tangent to the circular path as gravity force is absent to change its trajectory.

What is the momentum of a 48.2N bowling ball with a velocity of 7.13m/s?
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Momentum, p = 34.937 kg-m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on the bowling ball, F = 48.2 N

Velocity of bowling ball, v = 7.13 m/s

We have to find the momentum of the ball. Momentum is given by :

p = mv........(1)

Firstly, calculating the mass of bowling ball using second law of motion. The force acting on the ball is gravitational force and it is given by :

F = m g    (a = g)

m=\dfrac{F}{g}

m=\dfrac{48.2\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}

m = 4.9 kg

Now putting the value of m in equation (1) as :

p=4.9\ kg\times 7.13\ m/s

p = 34.937 kg-m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

Why does a gram of gold have the same density of a kilogram of gold
raketka [301]

A gram of gold's density is g/ml. If the mass is multiplied by 1000 to get to kg, so is ml. This gives kg/liter as the density. For example, if the density was 2g/ml. the density would still be 2kg/l.

How does temperature,barometric pressure,humidity,wind speed and direction, and precipitation determine the weather in a particu
Deffense [45]
Temperature is how hot or cold something is,barometric is air pressure(when the pressures high,the weather is dry)humidity is how moist the air is and how many water particles are there, wind speed and direction is how the hot and cold air is moving and how fast,which makes wind (high to low, hot to cold) precipitation is how much it is raining at that point.
