Answer:

a. the same speed as the wave energy

Explanation:

Wave packet is only an envelope of a more localized wave. The entire wave is a combination of the discrete wave packets.

Wave is any disturbance that travels across space. A wave does not carry the particles of the medium in which travels. It carries energy from one point to another as it travels.

For an electromagnetic wave, the energy of the wave is due to the vibrations of the electric and magnetic fields of the wave. For sound waves, wave energy is the vibrations or disturbance of the particles of the medium in which the sound wave travels.

sammy [17]

Answer:

25 mm = 0 deg C

200 mm = 100 deg C

200 - 25 = 175 = change in thread per 100 deg C

95 - 25 = 70 mm - change in thread from 0 deg C

70 / 175 * 100 = 40 deg C final temperature at 95 mm

An infant's toy has a 120 g wooden animal hanging from a spring. If pulled down gently, the animal oscillates up and down with a

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

0.37 m

Explanation:

The angular frequency, ω, of a loaded spring is related to the period, T, by

$\omega = \dfrac{2\pi}{T}$

The maximum velocity of the oscillation occurs at the equilibrium point and is given by

$v = \omega A$

A is the amplitude or maximum displacement from the equilibrium.

$v = \dfrac{2\pi A}{T}$

From the the question, T = 0.58 and A = 25 cm = 0.25 m. Taking π as 3.142,

$v = \dfrac{2\times3.142\times0.25\text{ m}}{0.58\text{ s}} = 2.71 \text{ m/s}$

To determine the height we reached, we consider the beginning of the vertical motion as the equilibrium point with velocity, v. Since it is against gravity, acceleration of gravity is negative. At maximum height, the final velocity is 0 m/s. We use the equation

$v_f^2 = v_i^2+2ah$

$v_f$ is the final velocity, $v_i$ is the initial velocity (same as v above), a is acceleration of gravity and h is the height.

$h = \dfrac{v_f^2 - v_i^2}{2a}$

$h = \dfrac{0^2 - 2.71^2}{2\times-9.81} = 0.37 \text{ m}$
