Scouts at a camp shake the rope bridge they have just crossed and observe the wave crests to be 8.00 m apart. If they shake it t

he bridge twice per second, what is the propagation speed of the waves?

Answer:

Explanation:

distance between two crests = 8 m

The distance between the two crests is called wavelength.

So, wavelength, λ = 8 m

frequency = 2 Hz

Let v be the velocity of wave.

v = f x λ

v = 2 x 8

v = 16 m/s

Asbestos would most likely be found where in a house?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Asbestos would most likely be found <u>around pipes</u> in a house.

Asbestos is nan organic naturally occurring mineral.

Its composition is similar to thin fibers like crystals of of silicate mineral.

The fibers of Asbestos are so thin and microscopic that they liberate into the atmosphere due to erosion and other processes.

These tiny particles are considered harmful for health as they are carcinogenic in nature and causes mesothelioma.

Its melting point is between 400 to 1,040 °C and is available in blue, green, grey white and yellow color.

As shown in the figure below, Justin walks from the house to his truck on a windy day. He walks 20 m toward

juin [17]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The velocity is $v =0.333 \ m/s$ in positive x -direction

The speed is $s = 0.733 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance from the house to truck is D = 20 m

The distance traveled back to retrieve wind-blown hat is d = 15

The distance from the wind-blown hat position too the truck is k = 20 m

The total time taken is t = 75 s

Generally when calculating the displacement the Justin's backward movement to collect his wind - blown hat is taken as negative

Generally Justin's displacement is mathematically represented as

$L = 20 - 15 + 20$

=> $L = 25 \ m$

Generally the average velocity is mathematically represented as

$v = \frac{L}{t}$

=> $v = \frac{25}{75}$

=> $v =0.333 \ m/s$

Generally the distance covered by Justin is mathematically represented as

$R = D+ d + k$

=> $R = 20 + 15 +20$

=> $R = 55 \ m$

Generally Justin's average speed over a 75 s period is mathematically represented as

$s = \frac{R}{ t}$

=> $s = \frac{55}{ 75}$

=> $s = 0.733 \ m/s$

Natalie accelerate her skateboard along a straight path from 0 m/s to 4.0 m/s in 2.5 s. find her average acceleration

Vikentia [17]

Acceleration=(speed end - speed start)/ time
Data:
speed end=4 m/s
speed start=0 m/s
time=2.5 s

acceleration=(4 m/s - 0 m/s)/2.5 s=1.6 m/s²

Answer: the acceleration would be 1.6 m/s²

Answer:

Part a)

$a = 3.68 m/s^2$

Part b)

$a = 11.8 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Part a)

For force conditions of two blocks we will have

$m_1g - T = m_1 a$

$T - m_2g = m_2 a$

now from above equations we have

$(m_1 - m_2) g = (m_1 + m_2) a$

$a = \frac{m_1 - m_2}{m_1 + m_2} g$

now we know that

$m_1 = \frac{908}{9.8} = 92.65 kg$

$m_2 = \frac{412}{9.8} = 42 kg$

now from above equation we have

$a = \frac{92.65 - 42}{92.65 + 42}(9.8)$

$a = 3.68 m/s^2$

Part b)

When heavier block is removed and F = 908 N is applied at the end of the string then we have

$F - mg = ma$

$908 - 412 = 42 a$

$a = 11.8 m/s^2$
