Waves are observed passing under a dock. Wave crests are 8.0 meters apart. The time for a complete wave to pass by is 4.0 second

s. The markings on the post submerged in water indicate that the water level fluctuates from a trough at 6.0 meters to a crest at 9.0 meters. What is the amplitude of the wave?

The amplitude of a wave can be obtained by measuring the distance from the resting position of the wave to its crest. The resting position is half of the distance from the crest to the trough. Given that the distance between the crest and the trough is 3 meters, the amplitude should be half of that, which is 1.5 meters.

Find the ratio of the new/old periods of a pendulum if the pendulum were transported from earth to the moon, where the accelerat
vichka [17]
The period of a pendulum is given by
T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }
where L is the pendulum length and g is the gravitational acceleration.

We can write down the ratio between the period of the pendulum on the Moon and on Earth by using this formula, and we find:
\frac{T_m}{T_e} =  \frac{2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g_m} } }{2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g_e} } }=    \sqrt{ \frac{g_e}{g_m} }
where the labels m and e refer to "Moon" and "Earth".

Since the gravitational acceleration on Earth is g_e = 9.81 m/s^2 while on the Moon is g_m=1.63 m/s^2, the ratio between the period on the Moon and on Earth is
\frac{T_m}{T_e}= \sqrt{ \frac{g_e}{g_m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{9.81 m/s^2}{1.63 m/s^2} }=2.45

Which of the following statements about the conservation of momentum is not correct? Momentum is conserved for a system of objec
Olin [163]

Answer:

wrong statement :  Momentum is not conserved for a system of objects in a head-on collision.

Explanation:

In a head on collision of two objects , two equal and opposite forces are created at the point of collision . These two forces create two impulses in opposite direction which results in equal and opposite changes in momentum in each of them . Hence net change in momentum is zero. In this way momentum is conserved in head on collision of two objects.

victus00 [196]

Answer:

4.88 m/s

Explanation:

Vertical component would be  12 * sin 24  =  4.88 m/s

Horizontal is   12 * cos 24

What magnification is best for the observation of most tissue slides? Explain why this has proved to be true?
Komok [63]

Answer:

The 10X objective is use for the identification of actual size of histology tissues and 4X magnification is best for observation of most tissues slides

Explanation:

4X magnification is best for observation of most tissues slides because it has an objective lens that have lower power and have great high field overview which make it very easier to locate specimens on the slide. It is use to get the overview of histology slides. It is use to showcase more detailed observations about histology.

The 40X objective is use majorly to identify tissue , to observe the finer details and study tissue organization on the histology slide.
