One of the major forms of energy driving the water cycle is geothermal energy. Heat is responsible for warming up water, which in turn evaporates, and then again returns to Earth's surface in the form of rain.

A sinusoidal wave travels along a string. The time for a particular point to move from maximum displacement to zero is 0.13 s. W
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Part a)

T = 0.52 s

Part b)

f = 1.92 Hz

Part c)

speed = 3.65 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the particle move from its maximum displacement to its mean position in t = 0.13 s

so total time period of the particle is given as

T = 4\times 0.13 = 0.52 s

now we have

Part a)

T = time to complete one oscillation

so here it will move to and fro for one complete oscillation

so T = 0.52 s

Part b)

As we know that frequency and time period related to each other as

f = \frac{1}{T}

f = \frac{1}{0.52}

f = 1.92 Hz

Part c)

As we know that

wavelength = 1.9 m

frequency = 1.92 Hz

so wave speed is given as

speed = wavelength \times frequency

speed = 1.92 \times 1.9

speed = 3.65 m/s

How fast would a 2-kilogram object need to move to have the same kinetic
siniylev [52]

Answer:

11.3 m/s

Explanation:

KE₁ = KE₂

½m₁v₁² = ½m₂v₂²

½ (2 kg) v² = ½ (4 kg) (8 m/s)²

v ≈ 11.3 m/s

The horizontal distance covered by the ball before hitting the water is 70.4 m

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is the motion of a projectile, so it consists of two independent motions:

  • A uniform motion along the horizontal (x) direction
  • A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical (y) direction

We start by calculating the time of flight of the ball. This can be done by analyzing the vertical motion. We can use the following suvat equation:

s=u_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

where:

s = -16.5 m is the vertical displacement of the ball (it is negative because we take upward as positive direction)

u_y is the initial vertical velocity of the ball, which is given by

u_y = u sin \theta

where

u = 23.5 m/s is the initial velocity

\theta=33.5^{\circ} is the angle of projection

Substituting,

u_y=(23.5)(sin 33.5^{\circ})=13.0 m/s

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity, downward

Substituting everything into the equation we get:

-16.5=13.0t-4.9t^2\\4.9t^2-13.0t-16.5=0

Solving the equation for t, we find the time of flight of the ball:

t = -0.94 s

t = 3.59 s

We ignore the 1st solution since it is negative, so the ball reaches the water after 3.59 seconds.

Now we analyze the horizontal motion of the ball. The horizontal velocity is constant and it is:

v_x=u cos \theta=(23.5)(cos 33.5^{\circ})=19.6 m/s

Therefore, the horizontal distance covered in a time t is

d=v_x t

And substituting t = 3.59 s, we find

d=(19.6)(3.59)=70.4 m

So, the horizontal distance covered by the ball before hitting the water is 70.4 m.
