Term (symbol) Meaning
Standing wave Waves which appear to be vibrating vertically without traveling horizontally. Created from waves with identical frequency and amplitude interfering with one another while traveling in opposite directions.
Node Positions on a standing wave where the wave stays in a fixed position over time because of destructive interference.
Antinode Positions on a standing wave where the wave vibrates with maximum amplitude.
Fundamental frequency Lowest frequency of a standing wave that has the fewest number of nodes and antinodes.
Harmonic A standing wave that is a positive integer multiple of the fundamental frequency.
Explanation:
The answer is either
b A system in which Newton's Laws are valid
or
c A system in which there are no external forces.
Explanation:
not a, and not d
There are energy changes in a closed system.
A closed system obeys the conservation laws in its physical description.
Answer:
A horse is running at 12m/s accelerated to 38m/s in 10 seconds. What is the horses acceleration.
2.6m/s^2
Answer:
887.1Hz
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Speed of sound wave = 330m/s
Wavelength = 0.372m
Unknown:
Frequency = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we use the expression below:
Speed = Frequency x wavelength
330 = Frequency x 0.372
Frequency = 887.1Hz
Answer:
Torque = 35.60 N.m (rounded off to 3 significant figures.
Explanation:
Given details:
The mass of the rock on the left, ms = 2.25 kg
The total mass of the rocks, mp = 10.1 kg
The distance from the fulcrum to the center of the pile of rocks, rp = 0.360 m
(a) The torque produced by the pile of rock, T = F*rp = m*g*rp
Torque = 9.8*0.360*10.1 = 35.6328
Torque = 35.60 N.m (rounded off to 3 significant figures).
