If you tie a rope to a tree and move it up and down, you are creating what kind of wave?

1 answer:

4 0

This is called a<em> standing wave</em> since the waves don't move ALONG the rope. They just kind of stand in one place on the rope. if you just whip a long rope that's not tied to anything, you see the wave move along the rope, this is a TRANSVERSE wave. When you crack a qhip you send a transverse wave down the whip which concentrates in the tip, accelerating the tip to faster than the speed of sound resulting in a tiny sonic boom or "whip crack".

Answer:

the direction of the velocity is downward and the acceleration decreases throughout the motion

Explanation:

since the gradient is negative it is decelerating

A submarine sends a signal and receives an echo after 5 seconds. Calculate the speed of sound if distance of object from submari

Reil [10]

$speed = distance \div time$
Since the sound travels from the submarine to the object AND back, it actually travelled 3625x2=7250m.

$7250 \div 5 = 1450$
Speed of sound: 1450m/s

With that push, they have accelerated their masses, which means they have _____ of their bodies.

nexus9112 [7]

As per Definition of acceleration we know that rate of change in velocity of object is known as acceleration

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}$

so when we apply push on an object that push or applied force will change the velocity of object always

so correct answer must be

a.) changed the velocity

A ball is thrown vertically upward (assumed to be the positive direction) with a speed of 24.0 m/s from a height of 3.0 m. (a) H

SashulF [63]

Answer:

a) 29.36 m

b) 2.44 s

c) 2.57 s

d) 25.117 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 24 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=24-9.81\times t\\\Rightarrow \frac{-24}{-9.81}=t\\\Rightarrow t=2.44 \s$

Time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is 2.44 seconds

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=24\times 2.44+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.81\times 2.44^2\\\Rightarrow s=29.35\ m$

The highest point reached by the ball above its release point is 29.36 m

c) Total height is 3+29.35 = 32.35 m

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 32.35=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{32.35\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=2.57\ s$

The ball reaches the ground 2.57 seconds after reaching the highest point

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+9.81\times 2.57\\\Rightarrow v=25.2117\ m/s$

The ball will hit the ground at 25.2117 m/s
