The amplitude of a wave decreases gradually as the wave travels down a long, stretched string. What happens to the energy of the

wave when this happens? (The frequency is the same).

Setler79 [48]3 years ago

Answer:

energy decreases

Explanation:

The energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of amplitude of a wave.

Amplitude is defined as the maximum displacement of the wave particle from its mean position.

So, as the amplitude goes on decreasing, the energy of the wave is also decreasing.

Calculate the speed of a car that traveled 200 kilometers in 3 hours.
nignag [31]

Answer:

The units (km/h) tell you how to do this! 200km/3h = 66.66666666…. BUT technically you only have ONE significant digit: 3 so 66.666… rounded to ONE digit is 70km/h but that is probably not important in this intro class so V = 66.67 or 67 km/h

2. Two toy cars are involved in a race. Car A has mass m while car B has mass 2m. a. The two cars have the same force applied to
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

a) The kinetic energy of the two cars is the same

the moment of car 2 is greater than the moment of car 1

b)  the kinetic energy of car 1 is greater than that of car 2

the moment of the two cars is the same

Explanation:

a) to know the kinetic energy of each car, we must find the speed, use Newton's second law to find the acceleration

Car 1

     F = m a

    a = F / m

Let's use kinematics to find the velocity after x = 1 m

       v² = v₀² + 2 a x

The initial speed is zero

       v = √ (2 F/m  x)

For the distance of x = 1 m

        v₁ = √ (2 F / m)

Car 2

      F = 2m a

      a = F / 2m

      v² = 2 a x

      v = √ (F/m  x)

 For x = 1 m

       v₂ = √(F / m)

Let's calculate the kinetic energy of each car

Car 1

      K₁ = ½ m v₁²

      K₁ = ½ m 2F / m

      K₁ = F

Car 2

      K₂ = ½ 2m v₂²

      K₂ = ½ 2m F / m

      K₂ = F

The kinetic energy of the two cars is the same

Let's calculate the moment

Car 1

   P₁ = m v₁

   P₁ = m √ (2F / m)

Car 2

    P₂ = 2m v²

    P₂ = 2m √(F / m)

We see that the moment of car 2 is greater than the moment of car 1

b) in this part the force is applied by t = 10 s

Acceleration is the same, let's find the speed

Car1

          v = v₀ + a t

          v = F / m t

          v₁ = F / m 10

Car 2

           v₂ = F / 2m 10

           v₂ = F / m 5

Let's calculate the kinetic energy of each car

Car 1

           K₁ = ½ m v₁²

           K₁ = ½ m (F / m 10)²

           K₁ = 50 F² / m

Car2

         K₂ = ½ 2m v₂²

         K₂ = m (F / m 5)²

         K₂ = 25 F² / m

In this case we see that the kinetic energy of car 1 is greater than that of car 2

Let's calculate the moment

Car 1

         P₁ = m v₁

         P₁ = m F / m 10

         P₁ = 10 F

 

Car 2

        P₂ = 2m v₂

        P₂ = 2m F / m 5

        P₂ = 10 F

In this case the moment of the two cars is the same

A baseball 0.145kg is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 20m/s. Use the law of conservation of energy to find
kvasek [131]

Answer: 20.4m

Explanation:

Mass = 0.145kg

Initial velocity, Vi =20m/s

Initial kinetic energy K =1/2mv^2

Initial potential energy Ui = mgx = 0joules

: From conservation of energy,

Uf + Kf = Ui + Ki ( where f represent (final) )

Thus

mgXf + 0 = 0+1/2 mv^2

Xf = Vi^2/ 2g

= (20m/s) ^2/ 2(9.81m/s)^2

=20.4m

Describe what happens to pressure as the force exerted on a given area increases.
Goryan [66]

That's the definition of pressure ... force on a given area.

So when that force increases, it's an increase in pressure.
