A 65-kg ice skater stands facing a wall with his arms bent and then pushes away from the wall by straightening his arms. At the

instant at which his fingers lose contact with the wall, his center of mass has moved 0.55 m , and at this instant he is traveling at 3.5 m/s .
Part A: What is the average force exerted by the wall on him? Express your answer with the appropriate units. FavF a v = 720 N

Part B: What is the work done by the wall on him?

Our values can be defined like this,

$m = 65kg$

$v = 3.5m / s$

$d = 0.55m$

The problem can be solved for part A, through the Work Theorem that says the following,

$W = \Delta KE$

Where

KE = Kinetic energy,

Given things like that and replacing we have that the work is given by

W = Fd

and kinetic energy by

$\frac {1} {2} mv ^ 2$

So,

$Fd = \frac {1} {2} m ^ 2$

Clearing F,

$F = \frac {mv ^ 2} {2d}$

Replacing the values

$F = \frac {(65) (3.5)} {2 * 0.55}$

$F = 723.9N$

B) The work done by the wall is zero since there was no displacement of the wall, that is d = 0.

If the wave represents a sound wave, explain how increasing amplitude will affect the loudness of the sound? If we decrease the

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Think of a sound wave like a wave on the ocean, or lake... It's not really water moving, as much as it's energy moving through the water. Ever see something floating on the water, and notice that it doesn't come in with the wave, but rides over the top and back down into the trough between them? Sound waves are very similar to that. If you looked at a subwoofer speaker being driven at say... 50 cycles a second, you'd actually be able to see the speaker cone moving back and forth. The more power you feed into the speaker, the more it moves back and forth, not more quickly, as that would be a higher frequency, but further in and further out, still at 50 cycles per second. Every time it pushed out, it's compressing the air in front of it... the compressed air moves away from the speaker's cone, but not as a breeze or wind, but as a wave through the air, similar to a wave on the ocean

More power, more amplitude, bigger "wave", louder ( to the human ear) sound.

If you had a big speaker ( subwoofer ) and ran a low frequency signal with enough power in it, you could hold a piece of paper in front of it, and see the piece of paper move in and out at exactly the same frequency as the speaker cone. The farther away from the speaker you got, the less it'd move as the energy of the sound wave dispersed through the room.

Sound is a wave

We hear because our eardrums resonates with this wave I.e. our ear drums will vibrate with the same frequency and amplitude. which is converted to an electrical signal and processed by our brain.

By increasing the amplitude our eardrums also vibrate with a higher amplitude which we experience as a louder sound.

Of course when this amplitude is too high the resulting resonance tears our eardrums so that they can't resonate with the sound wave I.e. we become deaf

Complete Question

The compete question is shown on the first uploaded question

Answer:

The speed is $v = 350 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance of separation is d = 4.00 m

The distance of the listener to the center between the speakers is I = 5.00 m

The change in the distance of the speaker is by $k = 60 cm = 0.6 \ m$

The frequency of both speakers is $f = 700 \ Hz$

Generally the distance of the listener to the first speaker is mathematically represented as

$L_1 = \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2}$

$L_1 = \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2}$

$L_1 = 5.39 \ m$

Generally the distance of the listener to second speaker at its new position is

$L_2 = \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2 + k}$

$L_2 = \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2 + 0.6}$

$L_2 = 5.64 \ m$

Generally the path difference between the speakers is mathematically represented as

$pD = L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * \lambda}{2}$

Here $\lambda$ is the wavelength which is mathematically represented as

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$

=> $L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * \frac{v}{f}}{2}$

=> $L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * v}{2f}$

=> $L_2 - L_1 = \frac{n * v}{2f}$

Here n is the order of the maxima with value of n = 1 this because we are considering two adjacent waves

=> $5.64 - 5.39 = \frac{1 * v}{2*700}$

=> $v = 350 \ m/s$

gregori [183]

Answer:

E = 0 r <R₁

Explanation:

If we use Gauss's law

Ф = ∫ E. dA = $q_{int}$ / ε₀

in this case the charge is distributed throughout the spherical shell and as we are asked for the field for a radius smaller than the radius of the spherical shell, therefore, THERE ARE NO CHARGES INSIDE this surface.

Consequently by Gauss's law the electric field is ZERO

E = 0 r <R₁
