Which of the following statements is accurate? A. Sound waves passing through the air will do so as transverse waves, which vibr

ate vertically and still retain their horizontal positions. B. Compressions and rarefactions occur throughout a transverse wave. C. Amplitude of longitudinal waves is measured at right angles to the direction of the travel of the wave and represents the maximum distance the molecule has moved from its normal position. D. The wavelength of both transverse and longitudinal waves is measured parallel to the direction of the travel of the wave.

A circular loop of flexible iron wire has an initial circumference of 167 cm, but its circumference is decreasing at a constant
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Part a)

EMF = 5.6 \times 10^{-3} V

Part b)

Since the radius is decreasing so induced current will increase the flux through the coil

So it would be clockwise in direction

Explanation:

As we know that magnetic flux linked with the coil is given as

\phi = \pi r^2 B

now the rate of change in flux is given as

\frac{d\phi}{dt} = 2\pi r \frac{dr}{dt} B

now we know that circumference is decreasing at rate of 15 cm/s

so here we know the length of circumference as

C = 2\pi r

So rate of change in circumference is

\frac{dC}{dt} = 2\pi \frac{dr}{dt}

\frac{1}{2\pi}(15 cm) = \frac{dr}{dt}

final length of circumference at t = 8 s

C = 167 - (15)(8) = 47

Part a)

Now the induced EMF is given as

EMF = (2\pi r)(\frac{1}{2\pi})(0.15)(0.5)

EMF = (0.47)(\frac{1}{2\pi})(0.15)(0.5)

EMF = 5.6 \times 10^{-3} V

Part b)

Since the radius is decreasing so induced current will increase the flux through the coil

So it would be clockwise in direction

A 5 kg fish swimming 2 m/s swallows an absent minded 1 kg fish swimming toward it at a velocity that brings both fish to a halt
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

given,

Mass of large fish, M = 5 Kg

speed of swimming, v' = 2 m/s

mass of small fish, m = 1 kg

speed of the fish = v

using conservation of momentum

m v + M v' = M u' + m u

final speed of both the speed is zero.

- 1 x v + 5 x 2  = 0

negative sign is used because small fish is moving in opposite direction.

now,

v = 10 m/s

hence, the speed of the small fish is equal to 10 m/s.

Two harmonic waves traveling in opposite directions interfere to produce a standing wave described by y = 3 sin (2x) cos 5t wher
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The wavelength of the interfering waves is 3.14 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

The equation of standing wave that is formed by interfering two harmonic waves (travelling opposite direction) is given by :

y=3\ sin(2x)\ cos(5t)........(1)

The general equation of standing wave is given by :

y=2A\ sin(kx)\ cos(\omega t)..............(2)

On comparing equation (1) and (2), we get :

k = 2

We know that,

\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}=k

\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}=2

\lambda=3.14\ m

So, the wavelength of the interfering wave is 3.14 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A barbell is 1.5 m long. Three weights, each of mass 20 kg, are hung on the left and two weights of the same mass, on the right.
Tanya [424]

Answer:

r = -11.6 cm

Explanation:

As we know that the position of center of mass is given as

r = \frac{m_1x_1 + m_2x_2 + .................}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3..............}

now we know that three masses are on the left while two are on the right

position of left most mass with respect to the center of the rod is given as

x_1 = -69 cm

x_2 = -65 cm

x_3 = -61 cm

x_4 = + 69 cm

x_5 = +65 cm

Now we will have

r = \frac{20(-69) + 20(-65) + 20(-61) + 20(+69) + 20(+65) + 5(0)}{105}

r = -11.6 cm
