Answer:

initial velocity=2.4m/s

Explanation:

Using the formula:

v=u+at

v= final velocity (6m/s)

u=initial velocity (???)

a=acceleration (0.2 m/s²)

t=time(18 seconds)

v=u+at

6=u+(0.2*18)

6=u+3.6

u=6-3.6

u (initial velocity)=2.4m/s

What will change the velocity of a periodic wave?

Gwar [14]

The one that will change the velocity of a periodic wave is :
B. Changing the medium of the wave
Waves is always determined by the properties of the medium, which means that changing the medium will change the velocity of the wave

1). The little projectile is affected by friction all the way through the block.
Friction robs some kinetic energy.

2). The block is affected by friction as it scrapes along the top of the post.
Friction robs some kinetic energy.

3). The block is also affected by friction with the air (air resistance) as it
falls to the ground. Friction robs some kinetic energy.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

here as we increase the distance the intensity will decrease and hence the amplitude of the electric field will decrease and vice-versa

Explanation:

As wee know that the amplitude of the wave will decide the energy of the wave

Here we know that energy density of electromagnetic wave is given as

$u = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0E_0^2$

now we have

$\frac{I}{c} = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E_0^2$

so here we can say that intensity of the wave at the given distance from the source is given by formula

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

so here as we increase the distance the intensity will decrease and hence the amplitude of the electric field will decrease and vice-versa.
