What measures the amount of displacement in a transverse wave

Physics
1 answer:
MAVERICK [17]3 years ago

Unlike a longitudinal wave, a transverse wave moves about, perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The particles in a transverse wave do not travel along the direction of propagation, but only oscillate up and down on its equilibrium position. With this, the displacement can be determined by measuring (in the case of electronic waves, using an oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer) and setting the desired units to measure the wave in.

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

31.55 m/s

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity of the arrow is u metre per second.

Angle of projection, θ = 40 degree

range = 100 m

Use the formula for the range.

R = \frac{u^{2}Sin2\theta }{g}

100 = u^2 Sin(2 x 40) / 9.8

100 x 9.8 = u^2 Sin 80

u^2 = 995.11

u = 31.55 m/s

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

M=125 kg

v=1.75 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of linear momentum

  P =mv

Case 1     50*V =M* 0.7     equation 1

               50*V =(M+50)* 0.5    equation 2

equating 1 and 2

               M* 0.7=(m+50)* 0.5

               0.2 M= 25

                    M=125 kg

Putting value of M in equation 1

               50*V =125*0.7

                     V=1.75 m/s

A car is moving 5.82M/S when it accelerates at 2.35M/S^2for 3.25S. What is its final velocity?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

vf=vi+at

vi=5.82 m/s

a=2.35 m/s2

t=3.25 s

vf=5.82+2.35*3.25

vf=5.82+7.64

vf=13.46
