Describe what happens when you jump from a small boat onto a dock from the perspective of the 3rd Law.

1 answer:

5 0

according to newton's third law, every action has equal and opposite reaction. in this scenario of making a jump from the boat onto a dock, as i jump my feet in contact with the boat push the boat in backward direction. hence the action force is the push by my feet on the boat. the boat reacts by applying a reaction force on my feet pushing the feet in forward direction. hence reaction force here is the force by the boat on the feet. due to the reaction force of the boat on feet, i am pushed in forward direction to reach the the dock.

How are traits influenced by the environment? (No links)

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Environmental factors influence traits in plants and animals. These traits include things like weight, height, size, and color. If a dog does not get proper nutrition and exercise, their weight will be negatively impacted. The dog is likely to be overweight if the environmental factors are not changed.

A coil has N turns enclosing an area of A. In a physics laboratory experiment, the coil is rotated during the time interval Δt f

scoray [572]

Answer:

$\dfrac{NBA}{\Delta t}$

Explanation:

B = Magnetic field

A = Area

$\theta$ = Angle

t = Time taken

Before rotation the magnetic flux is given by

$\phi_i=BAsin\theta\\\Rightarrow \phi_i=BAsin90\\\Rightarrow \phi_i=BA$

Magnetic flux is BA

After rotation the magnetic flux is given by

$\phi_i=BAsin\theta\\\Rightarrow \phi_i=BAsin0\\\Rightarrow \phi_i=0$

The magnetic flux is 0

Magnitude of emf is given by

$\epsilon=NA\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=\dfrac{NBA}{\Delta t}$

The magnitude of the average emf induced in the entire coil is $\dfrac{NBA}{\Delta t}$

Which of the following statements is an accurate description of sound transmission through various mediums?

klio [65]

The answer is D. Sound insulators prevent sound from being transmitted better than elastic solids because sound insulators basically muffle and block the sound waves.

A violin string is 45.0 cm long and has a mass of 0.242 g. When tightened on the neck of the violin, the distance between the pi

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The tension is 75.22 Newtons

Explanation:

The velocity of a wave on a rope is:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{TL}{M}}$ (1)

With T the tension, L the length of the string and M its mass.

Another more general expression for the velocity of a wave is the product of the wavelength (λ) and the frequency (f) of the wave:

$v= \lambda f$ (2)

We can equate expression (1) and (2):

$\sqrt{\frac{TL}{M}}$ = $\lambda f$

Solving for T

$T= \frac{M(\lambda f)^2}{L}$ (3)

For this expression we already know M, f, and L. And indirectly we already know λ too. On a string fixed at its extremes we have standing waves ant the equation of the wavelength in function the number of the harmonic $N_{harmonic}$ is:

$\lambda_{harmonic}=\frac{2l}{N_{harmonic}}$

It's is important to note that in our case L the length of the string is different from l the distance between the pin and fret to produce a Concert A, so for the first harmonic:

$\lambda_{1}=\frac{2(0.425m)}{1}=0.85 m$

We can now find T on (3) using all the values we have:

$T= \frac{2.42\times10^{-3}(0.85* 440)^2}{0.45}$

$T=75.22 N$
