What is the number of wavelengths that pass a given point each second called?

1 answer:

4 0

Since waves are moving, we define frequency as the number of waves that pass a given point in a specified unit of time. The unit commonly used is Hertz which is the number of wave cycles that pass a point in one second.

A circular-motion addict of mass 80 kg rides a Ferris wheel around in a vertical circle of radius 10 m at a constant speed of 6.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass=80 kg

Radius,r=10 m

Speed,v=6.1 m/s

a.Time period,T= $\frac{2\pi r}{v}=\frac{2\pi\times 10}{6.1}=10.3 s$

b. $F_N=mg-\frac{mv^2}{r}$

Substitute the values

$F_N=80\times 9.8-\frac{80\times(6.1)^2}{10}=486 N$

c. $F_N=mg+\frac{mv^2}{r}$

Substitute the values

$F_N=80\times 9.8+\frac{80\times (6.1)^2}{10}=1081.7 N$

The elastic energy stored in your tendons can contribute up to 35 % of your energy needs when running. Sports scientists have st

irina [24]

Complete Question:

The elastic energy stored in your tendons can contribute up to 35 % of your energy needs when running. Sports scientists have studied the change in length of the knee extensor tendon in sprinters and nonathletes. They find (on average) that the sprinters' tendons stretch 43 mm , while nonathletes' stretch only 32 mm . The spring constant for the tendon is the same for both groups, $31 {\rm {N}/{mm}}$ . What is the difference in maximum stored energy between the sprinters and the nonathlethes?

Answer:

$\triangle E = 12.79 J$

Explanation:

Sprinters' tendons stretch, $x_s = 43 mm = 0.043 m$

Non athletes' stretch, $x_n = 32 mm = 0.032 m$

Spring constant for the two groups, k = 31 N/mm = 3100 N/m

Maximum Energy stored in the sprinter, $E_s = 0.5kx_s^2$

Maximum energy stored in the non athletes, $E_m = 0.5kx_n^2$

Difference in maximum stored energy between the sprinters and the non-athlethes:

$\triangle E = E_s - E_n = 0.5k(x_s^2 - x_n^2)\\\triangle E = 0.5*3100* (0.043^2 - 0.032^2)\\\triangle E = 0.5*31000*0.000825\\\triangle E = 12.79 J$

The sun produces large amounts of energy. By what process does the sun produce energy?

AlladinOne [14]

The sun produces energy by converting gravitational potential energy into radiation via quantum processes in the nucleus of the atoms.

Since the mass of the sun and it's temperature are not quite enough to generate nuclear FUSION on their own, quantum tunneling is the primary process by which nuclear fusion occurs in our sun, SOL. FISSION also occurs as a result of this fusion.

Additionally, gravitational potential energy is also the reason that supernovae are so bright. Cool!

CER (claim, evidence, reasoning)

ira [324]

The reasoning that can be used to agree with the claim that has ben made is that the human powered generators are the best due to the fact that they would not have to require the long time and they would not have to consume resources.

<h3>What is a claim?</h3>

This is the term that is used to refer to a statement or an assertion that has been made which has not yet been proven.

The human powered generators are the best due to the fact that they would not require the resources that are known to be more consuming. That is they are renewable and like fossils they would not have any forms of adverse effects on the environment that they are used.

If nothing is faster than light, how did the dark get there first? O.o

erastova [34]

Nothing is faster than light. Dark is the absence of light, or indeed anything at all. ... Darkness came before light, so light had to be created to get there. It's like turning on s flashlight in a dark room: the darkness is already there, and an outside source (you/the flashlight) needs to create light.
