' D ' is the only correct statement on the list.

Electromagnetic waves are capable of traveling through

many substances, and they're also capable of traveling

through vacuum. Mechanical waves can't travel in vacuum.

A mass-spring system has k = 56.8 N/m and m = 0.46 kg.

andriy [413]

Answer:

A. $\omega=11.1121\ rad.s^{-1}$

B. $f=1.7685\ Hz$

C. $T=0.5654\ s$

Explanation:

Given:

spring constant, $k=56.8\ N.m^{-1}$

mass attached, $m=0.46\ kg$

for a spring-mass system the frequency is given as:

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{56.8}{0.46}}$

$\omega=11.1121\ rad.s^{-1}$

frequency is given as:

$f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}$

$f=\frac{11.1121}{2\pi}$

$f=1.7685\ Hz$

Time period of a simple harmonic motion is given as:

$T=\frac{1}{f}$

$T=0.5654\ s$

The distance between 4 nodes (3 sections, 2 sections= wavelength) is 15.0cm. The frequency of the source is 10Hz. What's the spe

Natalija [7]

Answer:

the speed of the waves is 150 cm/s

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the wave, f = 10 Hz = 10

distance between 4 nodes, L = 15.0 cm

The wavelength (λ) of the wave is calculated as follows;

Node to Node = λ/2

L = 2(Node to Node) = (4 Nodes) = 2 (λ/2) = λ

Thus, λ = L = 15.0 cm

The speed (v) of the wave is calculated as follows;

v = fλ

v = 10 Hz x 15.0 cm

v = 150 cm/s

Therefore, the speed of the waves is 150 cm/s

A truck accelerates From being stopped to 18 m/s in 5.5 seconds. A bus accelerates from being stopped to 24 m/s in 6.0 seconds.

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The bus

Explanation:

a = (v-u)/t

Where

a = acceleration

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

For truck to get its acceleration,

a = (18-0)/5.5 = 3.27 ms⁻²

For bus to get its acceleration,

a = (24-0)/6 = 4 ms⁻²

As 4 > 3.27 bus has a greater acceleration.

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Cross Product of two vectors as well as to obtain the angle through the magnitude of the angles.

The vector product between the Force and the radius allows us to obtain the torque, in this way,

$\tau = \vec{F} \times \vec{r}$

$\tau = (8i+6j)\times(-3i+4j)$

$\tau = (8*4)(i\times j)+(6*-3)(j\times i)$

$\tau = 32k +18k$

$\tau = 50 k$

Therefore the torque on the particle about the origen is 50k

PART B) To find the angle between two vectors we apply the definition of the dot product based on the vector quantities, that is,

$cos\theta = \frac{r\cdot F}{|\vec{r}|*|\vec{F}|}$

$cos\theta = \frac{(8*-3)+(4*3)}{\sqrt{(-3)^2+4^2}*\sqrt{8^2+6^2}}$

$cos\theta = -0.24$

$\theta = cos^{-1} (-0.24)$

$\theta = 103.88\°$

Therefore the angle between the ratio and the force is 103.88°
