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).

How is newtons third law of motion demonstrated on a roller coaster?

butalik [34]

Newton's Third Law of Action-Reaction is that for each and every action that happens, there is an equal and opposite reaction to it. In the scenario of a roller coaster, this is when you push down on the seat of the roller coaster as it flies along and the seat pushes back against you.

Two charged particles separated by a distance of = 3 and experienced electrostatic forces of = 60 . What would be this force if

klemol [59]

Answer: 539.4 N

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that Coulomb's Law establishes the following:

"The electrostatic force $F_{E}$ between two point charges $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance $d$ that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them"

What is written above is expressed mathematically as follows:

$F_{E}= K\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{d^{2}}$ (1)

Where:

$F_{E}=60 N$ is the electrostatic force

$K=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

$q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ are the electric charges

$d=3 m$ is the separation distance between the charges

Then:

$60 N= 8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{(3 m)^{2}}$ (2)

Isolating $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ :

$q_{1}q_{2}=6(10)^{-8} C^{2}$ (3)

Now, if we keep the same charges but we decrease the distance to $d_{1}=1 m$ , (1) is rewritten as:

$F_{E}=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{6(10)^{-8} C^{2}}{(1 m)^{2}}$ (4)

Then, the new electrostatic force will be:

$F_{E}= 539.4 N$ (5) As we can see, the electrostatic force is increased when we decrease the distance between the charges.

You stand on a merry-go-round which is spinning at f = 0:25 revolutions per second. You are R = 200 cm from the center. (a) Find

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

(a) ω = 1.57 rad/s

(b) ac = 4.92 m/s²

Explanation:

(a)

The angular speed of the merry go-round can be found as follows:

ω = 2πf

where,

ω = angular speed = ?

f = frequency = 0.25 rev/s

Therefore,

ω = (2π)(0.25 rev/s)

ω = 1.57 rad/s

(b)

The centripetal acceleration can be found as:

ac = v²/R

but,

v = Rω

Therefore,

ac = (Rω)²/R

ac = Rω²

therefore,

ac = (2 m)(1.57 rad/s)²

ac = 4.92 m/s²

(c)

In order to avoid slipping the centripetal force must not exceed the frictional force between shoes and floor:

Centripetal Force = Frictional Force

m*ac = μs*R = μs*W

m*ac = μs*mg

ac = μs*g

μs = ac/g

μs = (4.92 m/s²)/(9.8 m/s²)

μs = 0.5

(b) The distance of mass from mass A if there is no gravitational force acted on C

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

(a) The force, acting on object 'C' is approximately 2.66972 × 10⁻¹⁰ Newtons

(b) The distance of 'C' from 'A', in the direction particle 'B' if there is no meters gravitational force acting on 'C' is appromimately 0.829 meters or 1.877 meters

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of particle, A, m₁ = 2 kg

The mass of particle, B, m₂ = 0.3 kg

The mass of particle, C, m₃ = 0.05 kg

The distance between particle 'A' and particle 'B', r₁ = 0.15 m

The distance between particle 'B' and particle 'C', r₂ = 0.05 m

(a) The gravitational force, 'F', is given as follows;

$F =G \times \dfrac{m_{1} \times m_{2}}{r^{2}}$

Where;

F = The force between the two masses

G = The gravitation constant = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²

m₁ = The mass of object 1

m₂ = The mass of object 2

If 'C' is placed at 0.05 m from 'B', we have;

F₂₃ = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ × 0.05 × 0.3/(0.05²) ≈ 4.00458 × 10⁻¹⁰

The gravitational force between force between particle 'B' and particle 'C', F₂₃ = 4.00458 × 10⁻¹⁰ N (towards the right)

F₁₃ = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ × 0.05 × 2/(0.1²) ≈ × 10⁻¹⁰

The gravitational force between force between particle 'A' and particle 'B', F₁₃ = 6.6743 × 10⁻¹⁰ N (towards the left)

The force, 'F', acting on object 'C' = F₁₃ - F₂₃

F = (6.6743 - 4.00458) × 10⁻¹⁰ = 2.66972 × 10⁻¹⁰ N

The force, acting on object 'C' ≈ 2.66972 × 10⁻¹⁰ N

(b), When there is no gravitational force acting on 'C', let the distance of 'C' from 'A' = x

We have;

F₂₃ = F₁₂

$F_{23} =G \times \dfrac{m_{1} \times m_{2}}{r_1^{2}} = F_{13} =G \times \dfrac{m_{1} \times m_{3}}{r_2^{2}}$

By plugging in the values and removing like terms, we get;

$\dfrac{0.3 \times 0.05}{(1.15 - x)^{2}} = \dfrac{2 \times 0.05}{x^2}$

(1.15 - x)² × 2 × 0.05 = 0.3 × 0.05 × x²

0.1·x² - 0.23·x + 1.3225 = 0.015·x²

0.1·x² - 0.23·x + 1.3225 - 0.015·x² = 0

0.085·x² - 0.23·x + 0.13225= 0

x = (0.23± √((-0.23)² - 4 × 0.085 × ( 0.13225)))/(2 × 0.085))

x ≈ 0.829, or x ≈ 1.877

Therefore, the distance of 'C' from 'A', if there is no gravitational force acting on 'C', x ≈ 0.829 m, or x = 1.877 m, in the direction of 'B'
