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

A ball is thrown straight up into the air with a velocity of 12 m/s. Draw a motion diagram for the ball and then give as much qu
viktelen [127]

Answer:

find the diagram in the attachment.

Explanation:

Let vi = 12 m/s be the intial velocy when the ball is thrown, Δy be the displacement of the ball to a point where it starts returning down, g = 9.8 m/s^2 be the balls acceleration due to gravity.

considering the motion when the ball thrown straight up, we know that the ball will come to a stop and return downwards, so:

(vf)^2 = (vi)^2 + 2×g×Δy

vf = 0 m/s, at the highest point in the upward motion, then:

0 = (vi)^2 + 2×g×Δy

-(vi)^2  = 2×g×Δy

Δy = [-(vi)^2]/2×g

Δy = [-(-12)^2]/(2×9.8)

Δy = - 7.35 m

then from the highest point in the straight up motion, the ball will go back down and attain the speed of 12 m/s at the same level as it was first thrown

A charge of 80 coulombs passes through a circuit in 5 seconds. What is the current through the circuit?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

I = 16amp

Explanation:

Charge coulomb ( Q ) = It

Where I =current in ampere

t = time = 5 seconds

80 = I × 5

I = 80/5

I = 16amp

The current through the circuit will be I = 16amp

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. The athlete is able to rotate the ball at the
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

a) 2nd case rate of rotation gives the greater speed for the ball

b) 1534.98 m/s^2

c) 1515.04 m/s^2

Explanation:

(a) v = ωR

when R = 0.60, ω = 8.05×2π

v = 0.60×8.05×2π = 30.34 m/s

Now in 2nd case

when R = 0.90, ω = 6.53×2π

v = 0.90×6.53×2π = 36.92 m/s

6.35 rev/s gives greater speed for the ball.

(b) a = ω^2 R = (8.05×2π)^2 )(0.60) = 1534.98 m/s^2

(c) a = ω^2 R = (6.53×2π)^2 )(0.90) = 1515.05 m/s^2

Discuss the effects of breaking a food chain.
Tom [10]

Explanation:

Food chain is linear sequence of the organisms through which the nutrients and the energy pass as one organism eats the another.

<u>If one species in the food chain ceases to exist, the other members in rest of chain could cease to exist too or may increase in population which can affect other food chains. (Breaking of food chain).</u>

This is because the animals in the food chain are dependent on the nutrient present in the another.

For example in the food chain,

Grass ----  Deer ------ Lion

If all deer extinct, the lion will die as they will have nothing to feed on and the population of grass increases.
