Answer:

2 seconds

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is related to its wavelength and speed by the equation

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where

f is the frequency

v is the speed of the wave

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the wave in this problem,

v = 2 m/s

$\lambda=8 m$

So the frequency is

$f=\frac{2}{8}=0.25 Hz$

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency, so for this wave:

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.25}=4 s$

This means that the wave takes 4 seconds to complete one full cycle.

Therefore, the time taken for the wave to go from a point with displacement +A to a point with displacement -A is half the period, therefore for this wave:

$t=\frac{T}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2 s$

Answer:

The answer is " $15.38\%$ "

Explanation:

Background $= 13 \ mv\\\\$

corrected signal $= 91 \ mv-13\ mv= 78\ mv\\\\$

with attenuator $=25\ mv-13\ mv= 12\ mv\\\\$

$\to \frac{p_t}{p_i}=\frac{12}{78}\times 100= 15.38\%$

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at the compressed position. A 4.97-g pellet

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

$v = 2.8898 \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

This is a problem easily solve using energy conservation. As there are no non-conservative forces, we know that the energy is conserved.

When the spring is compressed downward, the spring has elastic potential energy. When the spring is relaxed, there is no elastic potential energy, but the pellet will have gained gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. Lets see what are the terms for each of this.

<h3>Elastic potential energy</h3>

We know that a spring following Hooke's Law has a elastic potential energy:

$E_{ep} = \frac{1}{2} k (\Delta x)^2$

where $\Delta x$ is the displacement from the relaxed length and k is the spring's constant.

To obtain the spring's constant, we know that Hooke's law states that the force made by the spring is :

$\vec{F} = - k \Delta \vec{x}$

as we need 9.12 N to compress 4.60 cm, this means:

$k = \frac{9.12 \ N}{4.6 \ 10^{-2} \ m}$

$k = 198.26 \ \frac{ N}{m}$

So, the elastic energy of the compressed spring is:

$E_{ep} = \frac{1}{2} 198.26 \ \frac{ N}{m} (4.6 \ 10^{-2} \ m)^2$

$E_{ep} = 0.209759 \ Joules$

And when the spring is relaxed, the elastic potential energy will be zero.

<h3>Gravitational potential energy</h3>

To see how much gravitational potential energy will the pellet win, we can use

$\Delta E_{gp} = m g \Delta h$

where m is the mass of the pellet, g is the acceleration due to gravity and \Delta h is the difference in height.

Taking all this together, the gravitational potential energy when the spring is relaxed will be:

$\Delta E_{gp} = 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} 4.6 \ 10^{-2} m$

$\Delta E_{gp} = 0.00224 \ Joules$

<h3>Kinetic Energy</h3>

We know that the kinetic energy for a mass m moving at speed v is:

$E_k = \frac{1}{2} m v^2$

so, for the pellet will be

$E_k = \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2$

<h3>All together</h3>

By conservation of energy, we know:

$E_{ep} = \Delta E_{gp} + E_k$

$0.209759 \ Joules = 0.00224 \ Joules + \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2$

$\frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2 = 0.209759 \ Joules - 0.00224 \ Joules$

$\frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2 = 0.207519 \ Joules$

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.207519 \ Joules}{ \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg } }$

$v = 2.8898 \frac{m}{s}$

A person is diving in a lake in the depth of h = 5.5 m. The density of the water is rho = 1.0 x10^3 kg/m^3. The pressure of the

Cloud [144]

Answer:a) P = Po + rho×h×g

b) P = 5.4 × 10^9 pa

c) F = P/A = (Po + rho×h×g)/A

d) 1.174×10^11N

Explanation: Using the formula

P = Po + rho×h×g

P = 1.0 x 10^5 + 1000 × 5.5 × 9.81

P = 5.4 × 10^9pa

The magnitude of the force exerted by water on the top of the person's head F at the depth h in terms of P

F = P/A = (Po + rho×h×g)/A

Using the above formula

Where A = 0.046m^2

F = P/ A = 5.4×10^9/0.046

F = 1.174×10^11N
