Answer:

a. 14.68m/s

b. 1.043N

Explanation:

a.

Given

Mass = m = 144g = 0.144kg

Height = h = 11m

Using energy conservation,

½mv² = mgh where g = 9.8m/s² ----- divide both sides by m

½v² = gh ---- divide both sides by ½

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

v = √(2 * 9.8 * 11)

v = 14.68332387438212m/s

v = 14.68m/s ----- Approximated

b.

v = 7.5m/s

By definition, “the average force of air resistance,”

When work done against air resistance is solved by multiplying height by the average force of resistance ------ by definition

i.e. W = -Fh

Minus is used because F and h points to different direction (when viewed as vectors).

This is proved by:

W = Fhcos(180) because h points toward the direction of motion (downward) while F points opposite.

W = Fh * -1

W = Fh

Using energy conservation,

mgh - Fh = ½mv² ---- Make Fh, the subject of formula

Fh = mgh - ½mv² ---- Divide through by h

F = mg - mv²/2h

F = 0.144 * 9.8 - 0.144 * 7.5²/(2 * 11)

F = 1.043N

You wiggle a string,that is fixed to a wall at the other end, creating a sinusoidalwave with a frequency of 2.00 Hz and an ampli

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A general wave function is given by:

$f(x,t)=Acos(kx-\omega t)$

A: amplitude of the wave = 0.075m

k: wave number

w: angular frequency

a) You use the following expressions for the calculation of k, w, T and λ:

$\omega = 2\pi f=2\pi (2.00Hz)=12.56\frac{rad}{s}$

$k=\frac{\omega}{v}=\frac{12.56\frac{rad}{s}}{12.0\frac{m}{s}}=1.047\ m^{-1}$

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{2.00Hz}=0.5s\\\\\lambda=\frac{2\pi}{k}=\frac{2\pi}{1.047m^{-1}}=6m$

b) Hence, the wave function is:

$f(x,t)=0.075m\ cos((1.047m^{-1})x-(12.56\frac{rad}{s})t)$

c) for x=3m you have:

$f(3,t)=0.075cos(1.047*3-12.56t)$

d) the speed of the medium:

$\frac{df}{dt}=\omega Acos(kx-\omega t)\\\\\frac{df}{dt}=(12.56)(1.047)cos(1.047x-12.56t)$

you can see the velocity of the medium for example for x = 0:

$v=\frac{df}{dt}=13.15cos(12.56t)$

If you have two uncertainties, and they are from two different sources and contribute to the uncertainty of a measurement, what

Darya [45]

The propagation errors we can find the uncertainty of a given magnitude is the sum of the uncertainties of each magnitude.

Δm = ∑ $| \frac{dm}{dx_i} | \ \Delta x_i$

Physical quantities are precise values of a variable, but all measurements have an uncertainty, in the case of direct measurements the uncertainty is equal to the precision of the given instrument.

When you have derived variables, that is, when measurements are made with different instruments, each with a different uncertainty, the way to find the uncertainty or error is used the propagation errors to use the variation of each parameter, keeping the others constant and taking the worst of the cases, all the errors add up.

If m is the calculated quantity, x_i the measured values and Δx_i the uncertainty of each value, the total uncertainty is

Δm = ∑ $| \frac{dm}{dx_i } | \ \Delta x_i$ | dm / dx_i | Dx_i

for instance:

If the magnitude is a average of two magnitudes measured each with a different error

m = $\frac{m_1+m_2}{2}$

Δm = | $\frac{dm}{dx_1}$ | Δx₁ + | $\frac{dm}{dx_2}$ | Δx₂

$\frac{dm}{dx_1}$ = ½

$\frac{dm}{dx_2}$ = ½

Δm = $\frac{1}{2}$ Δx₁ + ½ Δx₂

Δm = Δx₁ + Δx₂

In conclusion, using the propagation errors we can find the uncertainty of a given quantity is the sum of the uncertainties of each measured quantity.

Distance and direction of an objects change in position from starting point

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

An object changes position if it moves relative to a reference point. The change in position is determined by the distance and direction of an object's change in position from the starting point (displacement). Direction • Direction is the line, or path along which something is moving, pointing, or aiming.
