The velocity of a wave is a function of its: energy form medium amplitude

Physics
1 answer:
algol [13]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Amplitude.

Explanation:

The velocity of a wave is given by :

velocity = total distance covered/total time taken

In the case of a wave the total distance covered is equal to the amplitude of a wave. It is the maximum displacement covered by the wave. So, the velocity of a wave is a function of its amplitude. Hence, the correct option is (D).

Suppose that Lisa walks her dog around the block for a little exercise. The block is 1 mile around. If she walks around the bloc
natita [175]
Displacement only measure how far between the starting and ending point. In this case, Lisa walks around the block as a circle so the starting point is the same as the ending point. Thus, displacement is 0mile.
On the other hand, distance measures exactly how far she walks. In this case, the distance is 1 mile, same as the perimeter of the block.

A triangle ∆P QR has vertices P(3, 2, −4), Q(1, 0, −4), R(2, 1, 1). Use the distance formula to decide which one of the followin
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

a. FALSE

b.TRUE

C. FALSE

Explanation:

The formula fot the distance between two points is given as

d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2} +(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2} +(z_{2}-z_{1})^{2}}\\

hence we determine the distances between all the points

a.P(3,2,-4), Q(1,0,-4), R(2,1,1)

PQ=\sqrt{(1-3)^{2} +(0-2)^{2} +(-4-(-4))^{2}}\\PQ=\sqrt{4+4+0}\\ PQ=\sqrt{8}

For point PR

we have

PR=\sqrt{(2-3)^{2} +(1-2)^{2} +(1-(-4))^{2}}\\PR=\sqrt{1+1+9}\\ PR=\sqrt{11}\\

|PQ|\neq |PR|

B. For point RP

RP=\sqrt{(3-2)^{2} +(2-1)^{2} +(-4-1)^{2}}\\RP=\sqrt{1+1+25}\\ RP=\sqrt{27}

for point RQ  we have

RQ=\sqrt{(1-2)^{2} +(0-1)^{2} +(-4-1)^{2}}\\RQ=\sqrt{1+1+25}\\ RQ=\sqrt{27}

|RP|=|R Q|

C.

QP=\sqrt{(3-1)^{2} +(2-0)^{2} +(-4+4)^{2}}\\QP=\sqrt{4+4+0}\\ QP=\sqrt{8}

For point Q R

QR=\sqrt{(2-1)^{2} +(1-0)^{2} +(1-(-4))^{2}}\\QR=\sqrt{1+1+9}\\ QR=\sqrt{11}\\

QP\neq QR

Match each type of wave to the way it moves.
oee [108]

Answer:

Transverse wave- Back and forth at right angles to the direction of the wave arrow.

longitudinal wave- bask and forth in the direction of the motion of the motion of the wave.

electromagnetic wave- two alternating waves moving at right angles to each other.

Explanation:

In a longitudinal wave, the particles vibrate at right angles in reference to the wave motion.

In a transverse wave, the particles vibrate parallel to the wave motion

Electromagnetic waves occur as a result of the interaction between two  waves and are normally transverse in nature.

A man can walk three blocks east and four blocks north in 20 min. He can drive 12 times that distance in the same amount of time
skad [1K]

Answer:  25.2 km

<u>Explanation:</u>

3 blocks east and four blocks east = 7 blocks

1 block = 0.3 km  --> 7 blocks = 2.1 km

12 times 2.1 km = 25.2 km

The age of the universe in seconds
Marianna [84]

Answer:

4.351968e+17 seconds

Explanation:

So I googled age of the universe and it says 13.8 billion years.

you'll have to do some conversions:

in one year, there are 365 days. in one day, there are 24 hours. in one hour, there are 3600 seconds.

\frac{1 year}{365 days} x \frac{1 day}{24 hours} x \frac{1 hour}{3600 seconds}

so you have to add in the current age of the universe to that equation:

\frac{x seconds}{13.8 bil years} x \frac{1 year}{365 days} x \frac{1 day}{24 hours} x \frac{1 hour}{3600 seconds}

arranged so that the proper "units" will read as "x seconds" at the end of the equation.

then you do the math to find x:

13.8 billion x 365 x 24 x 3600 = 4.351968e+17 seconds.

which would be 435,196,800,000,000,000 seconds

Hope this helps :)
