Answer:

75 m

Explanation:

The distance x for a uniform acceleration is given by the equation:

$x = \frac{1}{2}at^{2}+v_ot+x_o$

The given values are:

a = 6 m/s², t = 5 s, v₀ = 0, x₀ = 0

Three beads are placed along a thin rod. The first bead, of mass m1 = 23 g, is placed a distance d1 = 1.1 cm from the left end o

Mila [183]

Answer:

a) $x=\frac{m_{1}d_{1}+m_{2}(d_{1}+d_{2})+m_{3}(d_{1}+d_{2}+d_{3} ) }{m_{1}+m_{2}+m_{3} }$

b) x = 4.47 cm

c) $x=\frac{m_{1}d_{2}+m_{2}(0)+m_{3}d_{3} }{m_{1}+m_{2}+m_{3} }$

d) x = 1.48 cm

Explanation:

a) The center of mass is equal to:

$x=\frac{m_{1}x_{1}+m_{2}x_{2}+m_{3}x_{3} }{m_{1}+m_{2} +m_{3}}$

Where m is the mass of beads and x is the distances, if x₁ = d₁, x₂ = d₂ and x₃ = d₃

$x=\frac{m_{1}d_{1}+m_{2}(d_{1}+d_{2})+m_{3}(d_{1}+d_{2}+d_{3} ) }{m_{1}+m_{2}+m_{3} }$

b) If

m₁ = 23g

m₂ = 15 g

m₃ = 58 g

d₁ = 1.1 cm

d₂ = 1.9 cm

d₃ = 3.2 cm

$x=\frac{23*1.1+15*(1.1+1.9)+58(1.1+1.9+3.2) }{23+15+58 } =4.47cm$

c) The center of the mass of the beads realtive to the center of bead is:

$x=\frac{m_{1}d_{2}+m_{2}(0)+m_{3}d_{3} }{m_{1}+m_{2}+m_{3} }$

d) $x=\frac{23*(-1.9)+(15*0)+(58*3.2) }{23+15+58 } =1.48cm$

What is the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

1. Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not.

2. The ripples made in a pool of water after a stone is thrown in the middle are an example of mechanical wave. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals.

3. Mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude and not by frequency. Electromagnetic Waves are produced by vibration of the charged particles.

4. While an electromagnetic wave is called just a disturbance, a mechanical wave is considered a periodic disturbance.

What is inertia? That is all but I need 20 characters to ask lol

damaskus [11]

Inertia, property of a body by virtue of which it opposes any agency that attempts to put it in motion or, if it is moving, to change the magnitude or direction of its velocity. Inertia is a passive property and does not enable a body to do anything except oppose such active agents as forces and torques.

Light in the air is incident at an angle to the surface of (12.0 A) degrees on a piece of glass with an index of refraction of (

Orlov [11]

The question is incomplete. You dis not provide values for A and B. Here is the complete question

Light in the air is incident at an angle to a surface of (12.0 + A) degrees on a piece of glass with an index of refraction of (1.10 + (B/100)). What is the angle between the surface and the light ray once in the glass? Give your answer in degrees and rounded to three significant figures.

A = 12

B = 18

Answer:

18.5⁰

Explanation:

Angle of incidence i = 12.0 + A

A = 12

= 12.0 + 12

= 14

Refractive index u = 1.10 + B/100

= 1.10 + 18/100

= 1.10 + 0.18

= 1.28

We then find the angle of refraction index u

u = sine i / sin r

u = sine24/sinr

1.28 = sine 24 / sine r

1.28Sine r = sin24

1.28 sine r = 0.4067

Sine r = 0.4067/1.28

r = sine^-1(0.317)

r = 18.481

= 18.5⁰
