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

How will the amount of power change if less work is done in more time?
yKpoI14uk [10]

The amount of power change if less work is done in more time"then the amount of power will decrease".

<u>Option: B</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The rate of performing any work or activity by transferring amount of energy per unit time is understood as power. The unit of power is watt

Power = \frac{Work}{Time}  

Here this equation showcase that power is directly proportional to the work but dependent upon time as time is inversely proportional to the power i.e as time increases power decreases and vice versa.

This can be understood from an instance, on moving a load up a flight of stairs, the similar amount of work is done, no matter how heavy but  when the work is done in a shorter period of time more power is required.

An object of mass m = 4.0 kg, starting from rest, slides down an inclined plane of length l = 3.0 m. The plane is inclined by an
kirill [66]

Answer:

(a-1) d₂=4.89 m: The object slides 4.89 m along the rough surface

(a-2) Work (Wf) done by the friction force while the mass is sliding down the in- clined plane:

Wf=  -20.4 J    is negative

(b) Work (Wg) done by the gravitational force while the mass is sliding down the inclined plane:

Wg= 58.8 J is positive

Explanation:

Nomenclature

vf: final velocity

v₀ :initial velocity

a: acceleleration

d: distance

Ff: Friction force

W: weight

m:mass

g: acceleration due to gravity

Graphic attached

The attached graph describes the variables related to the kinetics of the object (forces and accelerations)

Calculation de of the components of W in the inclined plane

W=m*g

Wx₁ = m*g*sin30°

Wy₁=  m*g*cos30°

Object kinematics on the inclined plane

vf₁²=v₀₁²+2*a₁*d₁

v₀₁=0

vf₁²=2*a₁*d₁

v_{f1} = \sqrt{2*a_{1}*d_{1}  }  Equation (1)

Object kinetics on the inclined plane (μ= 0.2)

∑Fx₁=ma₁  :Newton's second law

-Ff₁+Wx₁ = ma₁   , Ff₁=μN₁

-μ₁N₁+Wx₁ = ma₁      Equation (2)

∑Fy₁=0   : Newton's first law

N₁-Wy₁= 0

N₁- m*g*cos30°=0

N₁  =  m*g*cos30°

We replace   N₁  =  m*g*cos30 and  Wx₁ = m*g*sin30° in the equation (2)

-μ₁m*g*cos30₁+m*g*sin30° = ma₁   :  We divide by m

-μ₁*g*cos30°+g*sin30° = a₁  

g*(-μ₁*cos30°+sin30°) = a₁  

a₁ =9.8(-0.2*cos30°+sin30°)=3.2 m/s²

We replace a₁ =3.2 m/s² and d₁= 3m in the equation (1)

v_{f1} = \sqrt{2*3.2*3}  }

v_{f1} =\sqrt{2*3.2*3}

v_{f1} = 4.38 m/s

Rough surface  kinematics

vf₂²=v₀₂²+2*a₂*d₂   v₀₂=vf₁=4.38 m/s

0   =4.38²+2*a₂*d₂  Equation (3)

Rough surface  kinetics (μ= 0.3)

∑Fx₂=ma₂  :Newton's second law

-Ff₂=ma₂

--μ₂*N₂ = ma₂   Equation (4)

∑Fy₂= 0  :Newton's first law

N₂-W=0

N₂=W=m*g

We replace N₂=m*g inthe equation (4)

--μ₂*m*g = ma₂   We divide by m

--μ₂*g = a₂

a₂ =-0.2*9.8= -1.96m/s²

We replace a₂ = -1.96m/s² in the equation (3)

0   =4.38²+2*-1.96*d₂

3.92*d₂ = 4.38²

d₂=4.38²/3.92

d₂=4.38²/3.92

(a-1) d₂=4.89 m: The object slides 4.89 m along the rough surface

(a-2) Work (Wf) done by the friction force while the mass is sliding down the in- clined plane:

Wf = - Ff₁*d₁

Ff₁= μ₁N₁= μ₁*m*g*cos30°= -0.2*4*9.8*cos30° = 6,79 N

Wf= -  6.79*3 = 20.4 N*m

Wf=  -20.4 J    is negative

(b) Work (Wg) done by the gravitational force while the mass is sliding down the inclined plane

Wg=W₁x*d= m*g*sin30*3=4*9.8*0.5*3= 58.8 N*m

Wg= 58.8 J is positive
