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

Find the frequency of a spring block system if it is doing 4 oscillation in 100s
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

.004 Hz

Explanation:

Frequeny is cycles per second. An oscillation is 1 cycle

F=cycles/sec

4/100

=0.004Hz (Hz- Hertz=1 cycle/sec)

Which of the following lies in the ecliptic plane?
babymother [125]
<h2>Answer: Earth's orbital path around the Sun</h2><h2></h2>

The <u>Ecliptic</u> refers to the orbit of the Earth around the Sun. Therefore, <u>for an observer on Earth it will be the apparent path of the Sun in the sky during the year, with respect to the "immobile background" of the other stars.</u>

<u />

It should be noted that the ecliptic plane (which is the same orbital plane of the Earth in its translation movement) is tilted with respect to the equator of the planet about 23\° approximately. This is due to the inclination of the Earth's axis.

Hence, the correct option is Earth's orbital path around the Sun.

What is the maximum value of the electric field in an electromagnetic wave whose average intensity is 4.50 w/m2 ?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Average intensity of electromagnetic wave is given by

I= (speed of light*permittivity*sq. electric field)/2

Speed of light = 3x10^8 m/s
Permittivity = 8.85x10^-12

Therefore,
Electric field = sqrt (2I/ (speed of light xpermittivity)) = sqrt ((2*4.50)/(3*10^8*8.85*10^-12)) = 58.22 V/m
