What is a compression and a rare fraction on a sound wave

Physics
1 answer:
Aliun [14]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Waves are made up of compressions and rarefactions. Compression happens when molecules are forced, or pressed, together. Rarefaction is just the opposite, it occurs when molecules are given extra space and allowed to expand. Remember that sound is a type of kinetic energy.

Suppose we want to calculate the moment of inertia of a 56.5 kg skater, relative to a vertical axis through their center of mass
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

a. 0.342 kg-m² b. 2.0728 kg-m²

Explanation:

a. Since the skater is assumed to be a cylinder, the moment of inertia of a cylinder is I = 1/2MR² where M = mass of cylinder and r = radius of cylinder. Now, here, M = 56.5 kg and r = 0.11 m

I = 1/2MR²

= 1/2 × 56.5 kg × (0.11 m)²

= 0.342 kgm²

So the moment of inertia of the skater is

b. Let the moment of inertia of each arm be I'. So the moment of inertia of each arm relative to the axis through the center of mass is (since they are long rods)

I' = 1/12ml² + mh² where m = mass of arm = 0.05M, l = length of arm = 0.875 m and h = distance of center of mass of the arm from the center of mass of the cylindrical body = R/2 + l/2 = (R + l)/2 = (0.11 m + 0.875 m)/2 = 0.985 m/2 = 0.4925 m

I' = 1/12 × 0.05 × 56.5 kg × (0.875 m)² + 0.05 × 56.5 kg × (0.4925 m)²

= 0.1802 kg-m² + 0.6852 kg-m²

= 0.8654 kg-m²

The total moment of inertia from both arms is thus I'' = 2I' = 1.7308 kg-m².

So, the moment of inertia of the skater with the arms extended is thus I₀ = I + I'' = 0.342 kg-m² + 1.7308 kg-m² = 2.0728 kg-m²

What ethical concepts inform your personal code of ethics? How has it changed, if at all, from Unit 1? Explain.
musickatia [10]
A code of ethics is a set of principles and rules used by individuals and organizations to govern their decision making process, as well as to distinguish right from wrong. These codes are often more complex and contextual than simple morality, acknowledging specific situations and providing guidance. Many codes of ethics also specify penalties for violations. Professional and personal codes of ethics ensure that adherents are behaving in a socially acceptable manner. Organizations with an established code of ethics usually have review processes and appeal procedures in place to guard against malicious or self-serving use of the code.

A rifle bullet leaves the barrel at 1500 meters per second. If it does not slow down or hit anything, how far can it travel in h
galben [10]

Since we are dividing a second in 2, we can simply divide the amount of meters by 2.

1500/2=750

It travels 750 meters in half a second.

Hope this helps!
