The area-

The area under the line in a velocity-time graph represents the distance travelled. To find the distance travelled in the graph above, we need to find the area of the light-blue triangle and the dark-blue rectangle.

Area of light-blue triangle -
The width of the triangle is 4 seconds and the height is 8 meters per second. To find the area, you use the equation: area of triangle = 1⁄2 × base × height so the area of the light-blue triangle is 1⁄2 × 8 × 4 = 16m. Area of dark-blue rectangle The width of the rectangle is 6 seconds and the height is 8 meters per second. So the area is 8 × 6 = 48m. Area under the whole graph The area of the light-blue triangle plus the area of the dark-blue rectangle is:16 + 48 = 64m.This is the total area under the distance-time graph. This area represents the distance covered.

A scientist is studying a shock wave from an earthquake. What kind of wave is being studying?

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Longitudinal Mechanical Wave

Explanation:

Mechanical waves are the waves that require medium to propagate. And a longitudinal wave is a wave in which the vibration of the energy(here: mass specifically) is in the direction of propagation of wave.

Shock wave, strong pressure wave in any elastic medium such as air, water, or a solid substance, produced by supersonic aircraft, explosions, lightning, or other phenomena that create violent changes in pressure.

Shock waves travel faster than sound and their speed increases as the amplitude of the wave is increased but their intensity fades faster due to the fact that some of its energy gets expended in the form of heat due to the resistance of the medium.

The angular momentum of a flywheel having a rotational inertia of 0.140 kg ·m2 about its central axis decreases from 3.00 to 0.8

Rasek [7]

Answer

given,

I = 0.140 kg ·m²

decrease from 3.00 to 0.800 kg ·m²/s in 1.50 s.

a) $\tau = \dfrac{\Delta L}{\Delta t}$

$\tau = \dfrac{0.8-3}{1.5}$

τ = -1.467 N m

b) angle at which fly wheel will turn

$\theta= \omega t +\dfrac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

$\theta= \dfrac{L}{I} t +\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\tau}{I}t^2$

$\theta= \dfrac{3}{0.14}\times 1.5+\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{-1.467}{0.14}\times 1.5^2$

θ = 20.35 rad

c) work done on the wheel

W = τ x θ

W = -1.467 x 20.35 rad

W = -29.86 J

d) average power of wheel

$P_{av} =-\dfrac{W}{t}$

$P_{av} =-\dfrac{(-29.86)}{1.5}$

$P_{av} =19.91\ W$

When a police officer receives information that you are speeding in your vehicle, she is using the ______________ of the wave to

Alex

I think the corect answer would be C. When a police officer receives information that you are speeding in your vehicle, she is using the frequency of the wave to measure the Doppler Effect. As the speed of a vehicle increases, the greater the change of the frequency of the waves would be transmitted to the radar guns which is being used by the police officer. Doppler effect is an effect that is observed in sound and light waves as these waves move away or to the direction of the observer. This is being used in many applications like in astronomy, weather balloons, the radar guns,and for underwater researches.

Does displacement must be straight and must include direction

Solnce55 [7]

Displacement is the total space between point a and b. For example, If I walk 3 times North, 6 times East, and 7 times North, what is the displacement? The answer is 10 because when I walked East there was on object blocking my way.
