Answer:

Amplitude is the vertical distance between a ridge and the midpoint of the wave.

Explanation:

A mechanical wave is a disturbance that travels through a material or substance that is a medium of the wave. For example, when a tense string is pressed, the disturbance caused spreads along it in the form of a wave pulse. The disturbance in this case consists in the variation of The Shape of the string from its equilibrium state

it is important to know:

Crest: the crest is the highest point of this amplitude.

Period: the period is the time it takes the wave to go from one point of maximum amplitude to the next.

Amplitude: amplitude is the vertical distance between a crest and the midpoint of the wave.

Frequency: number of times that vibration is repeated.

Valley: it is the lowest point of a wave.

Wavelength: distance between two consecutive ridges of this size.

Transverse wave velocity.-

The propagation speed of a wave on a string (v) is proportional to the square root of the string tension (T) and inversely proportional to the square root of the linear density (μ) of the string:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{μ} }$

Ber [7]

Answer: 0.5

Explanation:

The modulus of elasticity (called <em>"alargamiento unitario"</em> in spanish) $\epsilon$ of a spring is given by the following formula:

$\epsilon=\frac{\Delta L}{L}$

Where:

$L=10 cm$ is the original length of the spring

$\Delta L=L_{f}-L$ is the elongation of the spring, being $L_{f}=15 cm$ the length of the spring after a force is applied to it.

$\epsilon=\frac{L_{f}-L}{L}=\frac{15 cm - 10 cm}{10 cm}$

Then:

$\epsilon=0.5$

A 4.10 g bullet moving at 837 m/s strikes a 820 g wooden block at rest on a frictionless surface. The bullet emerges, traveling

atroni [7]

Answer:

(a) 1.85 m/s

(b) 4.1 m/s

Explanation:

Data

bullet mass, Mb = 4.10 g

initial bullet velocity, Vbi = 837 m/s

wooden block mass, Mw = 820 g

initial wooden block velocity, Vwi = 0 m/s

final bullet velocity, Vbf = 467 m/s

(a) From the conservation of momentum:

Mb*Vbi + Mw*Vwi = Mb*Vbf + Mw*Vwf

Mb*(Vbi - Vbf)/Mw = Vwf

4.1*(837 - 467)/820 = Vwf

Vwf = 1.85 m/s

(b) The speed of the center of mass speed is calculated as follows:

V = Mb/(Mb + Mw) * Vbi

V = 4.1/(4.1 + 820) * 837

V = 4.1 m/s

What is Kepler’s first law?

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Kepler's First Law: each planet's orbit about the Sun is an ellipse. The Sun's center is always located at one focus of the orbital ellipse. The Sun is at one focus. The planet follows the ellipse in its orbit, meaning that the planet to Sun distance is constantly changing as the planet goes around its orbit.

Do frictional forces act in the same direction or in the opposite direction to the applied force?

Evgesh-ka [11]

Frictional forces act in the direction opposite to the MOTION. That direction could be the same OR opposite to applied force.

-- If you push a loaded heavy wagon from behind, trying to get it going faster, friction is acting against you, opposite to your force.

-- If you push a loaded rolling heavy wagon from in front, trying to make it slow down, friction is acting with you, in the same direction as your force.

-- Opposite to the motion both times.
