Puzzle 3

You whirl a stone in a horizontal circle in such a way that the stone is in uniform circular motion. Which of the following is t

horsena [70]

a. The direction of the stone's velocity changes as it moves around the circle.

b. The magnitude of the stone's velocity does not change.

d. The change in direction of the stone's motion is due to the centripetal force acting on the stone.

Above given are true for the given situation.

<u>Answer:</u> Option A, B and D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Circular motion may be characterized as the moving of an objects along the diameter of the circle or any circular direction. It may be standardized and non-uniform based on whether or not the rate of rotation is unchanged.

The velocity, a vector quantity is constant in a uniform circle motion speed is constant as its direction continues to change. Centripetal force works inward toward the core to counterbalance the centrifugal force from the center moving outward.

Why are computer simulations useful in studying phenomena in the universe?

kenny6666 [7]

Computer simulation is useful because it helps in the prediction of what will likely happen in the future using data from past events.

<h3>What is computer simulation?</h3>

This is the use of computer models to represents a hypothetical scenarios that are likely to be obtained in the real world.

Computer simulations are useful in studying phenomena in the universe because they help us to achieve the followings;

It helps in the prediction of what will likely happen in the future using data from past events.
It saves cost and time of carrying out actual experiments.
It can help prevent a disaster that may occur in the future.

You and a partner sit on the floor and stretch out a coiled spring to a length of 7.2 meters. You shake the coil so you

vekshin1

Answer:

Approximately $5.9\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ (assuming that the partner is holding the other end of the coil stationary.)

Explanation:

In a standing wave, an antinode is a point that moves with maximal amplitude, while a node is a point that does not move at all. There is an antinode between every two adjacent nodes. Likewise, there is a node between every two adjacent antinodes.

The side of the spring that is being shaken moving with maximal amplitude. Hence, that point on this spring would also be an antinode. In contrast, the side of the spring that is held still (does not move at all) would be a node.

There would be a node between:

the antinode at the end of the spring that is being shaken, and
the antinode between the two ends of this spring.

Overall, the nodes and antinodes on this spring would be:

node at the end that is being held still,
antinode (as mentioned in the question),
node (inferred, not mentioned in the question), and
antinode at the end that is being shaken.

The distance between two adjacent nodes is equal to one-half (that is, $(1/2)$ ) the wavelength of the wave. The distance between a node and an adjacent antinode is one-quarter (that is, $(1/4)$ ) of the wavelength of the wave.

Thus, if the wavelength of the wave in this question is $\lambda$ , the length of this spring would be:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, \lambda + \frac{1}{4}\, \lambda = \frac{3}{4}\, \lambda$ .

The question states that the length of this coiled spring is $7.2\; {\rm m}$ . In other words, $(3/4) \, \lambda = 7.2\; {\rm m}$ . The wavelength of this wave would be $(7.2\; {\rm m}) / (3/4) = 9.6\; {\rm m}$ .
