Physics
1 answer:
adelina 88 [10]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance in a medium. For example, when some pebbles are thrown in water, the water particles gets disturbed. A wave is characterized by the following parameters i.e.

Frequency

Wavelength etc

The number of oscillations or vibrations in a medium is called the frequency of a wave.

Also, the distance between two consecutive crests and troughs is called the wavelength of a wave. The relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of a wave is given by :

Speed of wave = frequency × wavelength

A 65.0-kg runner has a speed of 5.20 m/s at one instant dur- ing a long-distance event. (a) What is the runner’s kinetic energy
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

a)KE=878.8 J

b)W=2636.4 J      

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m = 65 kg

Initial speed ,u = 5.2 m/s

a)

We know that kinetic energy KE is given as follows

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2

m=mass

u=velocity

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 65\times 5.2^2\ J

KE=878.8 J

b)

We know that

Work done by all forces = Change in the kinetic energy

The final velocity , v= 2 u = 2 x 5.2 m/s

v= 10.4 m/s

W=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 65\times 10.4^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 65\times 5.2^2\ J

W=2636.4 J

a)KE=878.8 J

b)W=2636.4 J

How does the water cycle influence weather in your area? Use complete sentences and a specific example from your experience.
Charra [1.4K]

Evaporation is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor. Evaporation is the primary pathway that water moves from the liquid state back into the water cycle as atmospheric water vapor. Studies have shown that the oceans, seas, lakes, and rivers provide nearly 90 percent of the moisture in the atmosphere via evaporation, with the remaining 10 percent being contributed by plant transpiration.

A 50-kg copper block initially at 140°C is dropped into an insulated tank that contains 90 L of water at 10°C. Determine the fin
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

16.33°C

Explanation:

Applying,

Heat lost by copper = heat gained by water

cm(t₁-t₃) = c'm'(t₃-t₂).............. Equation 1

Where c = specific heat capacity of copper, m = mass of copper, c' = specific heat capacity of water, m' = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature of copper, t₂ = initial temperature of water, t₃ = final equilibrium temperature.

From the question,

Given: m = 50 kg, t₁ = 140°C, m' = 90 L = 90 kg, t₂ = 10°C

Constant: c = 385  J/kg°C, c' = 4200J/kg°C

Substitute these values into equation 1

50(385)(140-t₃) = 90(4200)(t₃-10)

(140-t₃) = 378000(t₃-10)/19250

(140-t₃) = 19.64(t₃-10)

140-t₃ = 19.64t₃-196.6

19.64t₃+t₃ = 196.4+140

20.64t₃ = 336,4

t₃ = 336.4/20.6

t₃ = 16.33°C

What do behaviorism and cognitive psychology have in common?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Both attempt to explain human behavior

Explanation:

Psychology is generally regarded as the science of human behavior. Behaviourism is the psychological theory which holds that behaviour can be fully understood in terms of conditioning, without actually considering thoughts or feelings. The theory holds that psychological disorders can be aptly handled by simply altering the behavioural patterns of the individual. It involves the study of stimulus and responses.

Cognitive psychology attempts to decipher what is going on in people's minds. That is, it looks at the mind as a processor of information. Hence we can define cognitive psychology as the study of the internal mental processes. This according to behaviorists, cannot be studied in measurable terms as in behaviourism (stimulus response approach) even though mental processes are known to influence human behavior significantly.

Hence, both behaviourism and cognitive psychology attempt to study human behavior from different perspectives.
