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.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The maximum height covered is 3.25 m.

The horizontal distance covered is 9.81 m.

The total time in the air is 1.63 seconds.

Explanation:

The launch speed, u_0= 10 m/s.

Angle of launch with the horizontal, \theta = 53 ^{\circ}

So, the vertical component of the initial velocity,

u_0\sin\theta=10 \sin 53 ^{\circ}\cdots(i).

The horizontal component of the initial velocity,

u_0\cos\theta=10 \cos 53 ^{\circ}

Let, t be the time of flight, to the horizontal distance covered

D=10 \cos (53 ^{\circ})t\cdots(ii).

Not, applying the equation of motion in the vertical direction.

s= ut +\frac 1 2 at^2

Where s is the displacement in time t, u is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration.

In this case, u =10 \sin 53 ^{\circ} (from equation (i), s=0 (as the final height is same as the launch height) and a = -9.81 m/s^2 (negative sign is due to the downward direction).

\Rightarrow 0 = 10 (\sin 53 ^{\circ})t-\frac 1 2 (9.81)t^2

\Rightarrow t= \frac {2\times 10 (\sin 53 ^{\circ})}{9.81}=1.63 seconds.

So, the total time in the air is 1.63 seconds.

From equation (i),

Total horizontal distance covered is

D=10 \cos (53 ^{\circ})\times 1.63 = 9.81 m.

Now, for the maximum height, H, applying the equation of motion as

v^2=u^2+2as

Here, v is the final velocity and v=0 (at the maximum height), and h=H.

So, 0^2=(10 \sin 53 ^{\circ})^2-2(9.81)H

\Rightarrow H = \frac {(10 \sin 53 ^{\circ})^2}{2\times 9.81}

\Rightarrow H = 3.25 m.

Hence, the maximum height covered is 3.25 m.

AveGali [126]
This problem here is an example of inelastic collision where kinetic energy is not conserved but momentum is. We calculate as follows:

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v3
v3 = m1v1 + m2v2  / m1 + m2
v3 = (30.2)(1000) + (5000)(0) / (30.2 + 5000)
v3 = 6.00 m/s
