A. the resting position of a wave

Answer:

a. the resting position of the wave

Explanation:

The equilibrium refers to the resting position of the wave or the position it would be if it was undisturbed. And this is normally exactly midway between the highest point of the wave and the lowest point of the wave.

What evidence is there that all states of matter have mass.
Alla [95]

Answer:Anything that has mass is made up of matter – an all-encompassing word for atoms and molecules that make up our physical world. We describe this matter as existing in states (sometimes referred to as phases). Most people are familiar with three states of matter – solids, liquids and gases – but there are two more that are less commonly known but just as important – plasmas and Bose-Einstein condensates.

Explanation:everything has matter

According to a newspaper account, a paratrooper survived a training jump from 1200 ft when his parachute failed to open but prov
Schach [20]
<span>Let's make a few assumptions. 1. The paratrooper's lowest speed will be just prior to impact. 2. Since the jump was from a relatively low altitude, the paratrooper used a static line and the parachute should have opened almost immediately upon jumping. So let's convert 100 mi/h to ft/s 100 mi/h * 5280 ft/mi / 3600 s/h = 146.67 ft/sec Given the 1st assumption above, the MAXIMUM distance the paratrooper would have fallen would be 8 seconds at 146.67 ft/s, so 8 s * 146.67 ft/s = 1173.36 ft The calculated distance is close to the jump distance, which agrees with both assumptions 1 and 2. So this account does seem reasonable. Additionally, looking for the speed of a parachutist doing a freefall in the belly-to-earth position with arms and legs outspread, they will generally reach a terminal velocity of 120 mi/h which is slightly faster than the 100 mi/h in the article. This too is in agreement with the defective parachute flapping and causing some extra air resistance.</span>

Two lamps rated 60W; 240V and 100W, 240Vrespectively are connected in series to a 240V power source. Calculate;
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

The total power of the circuit is equal to the sum of the powers of each lamp.

P=60+100\\P=160 [W]

Now we have a voltage source equal to 240 [V], so by means of the following equation we can find the current circulating in the circuit.

P=V*I

where:

P = power [W]

V = voltage [V]

I = current [amp]

I = P/V\\I=160/240\\I=0.67 [amp]

So this is the answer for c) I = 0.67 [amp]

We know that the voltage of each lamp is 240 [V]. Therefore using ohm's law which is equal to the product of resistance by current we can find the voltage of each lamp.

a)

V=I*R

where:

V = voltage [V]

I = current [amp]

R = resistance [ohms]

Therefore we replace this equation in the first to have the current as a function of the resistance and not the voltage.

P=V*I\\and\\V = I*R\\P = (I*R)*I\\P=I^{2}*R

60 = (0.67)^{2}*R\\R_{60}=133.66[ohm] \\and\\100=(0.67)^{2} *R\\R_{100}=100/(0.66^{2} )\\R_{100}=225 [ohm]

b)

The effective resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the resistors connected in series.

R = 133.66 + 225\\R = 358.67 [ohms]

During each cycle of operation a refrigerator absorbs 56 cal from the freezer compartment and expels 81 cal tothe room. If one c
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

138.18 minutes

Explanation:

L_v = Latent heat of water at 0°C = 80 cal/g

m = Mass of water = 570 g

Heat removed for freezing

Q=mL_v\\\Rightarrow Q=570\times 80\\\Rightarrow Q=45600\ cal

Let N be the number of cycles and each cycle removes 56 cal from the freezer.

So,

55\times N=45600\\\Rightarrow N=\frac{45600}{55}

Each cycle takes 10 seconds so the total time would be

\frac{45600}{55}\times \frac{10}{60}=138.18\ minutes

The total time taken to freeze 138.18 minutes

In Hooke's law, Fspring=kΔx , what does the Fspring stand for?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The amount of force acting on the spring.

Explanation:

Here, Fspring= kΔx  is a equation denoting the amount of force acting on the spring.

where, k = spring constant.

           Δx= change in the length of the spring.

so, for every Δx change in spring length, kΔx force acts on the spring.
