This distance is known as the amplitude of the wave, and is the characteristic height of the wave, above or below the equilibrium position. Normally the symbol A is used to represent the amplitude of a wave. The SI unit of amplitude is the metre (m).
As a wave moves through a medium, particles are displaced and return to their normal position after the wave passes.
Explanation:
A wave is a traveling disturbance that carries energy from one location to another. All waves move in straight lines outward and away from the source of a disturbance. Like the radiating circular ripples, the waves of water carry energy away from where a rock was dropped into the pond.
Waves can move as a single pulse or as a continuous series of waves, carrying energy away from its source. A pulse is a single disturbance, wave, or ripple that moves outward from the point of disturbance. A train of waves are many waves emitted over and over again from a single source.
As waves travel through matter, they will temporarily displace the molecules or particles in matter up-and-down or side-to-side. Waves move the energy but they do not carry the matter with them longitudinally as they move through matter. Once the disturbance passes, the medium will return to its original state or position.
Therefore, as the waves move through a medium, particles are displaced and return to their normal position after the wave passes.
Answer:
Al's mass is 102.92 kg
Explanation:
As there are no external forces in the horizontal direction, the horizontal net force must be zero:
As the force is the derivative in time of the momentum, this means that the horizontal momentum is constant:
where the suffix i and f means initial and final respectively.
The initial momentum will be:
But, as they are at rest, initially
So, this means:
We know that the have an combined mass of 195 kg:
.
so:
.
Now, we can use the values:
where the minus sign appears as they are moving at opposite directions
and this is the Al's mass.
Answer:
Mixtures are materials that contain two or more chemical substances dispersed among each other (mixed together). If no chemical reaction occurs when two materials are mixed, they form a mixture. The chemical properties of the components don't change.
Explanation:
Q: ken, 0.75 kg, moves toward a wall (his path normal to the wall) at 52 m/s. 13.0 ms after he touches the wall he pushes himself off in the opposite direction at 60 m/s. What is the magnitude of the average force the wall exerts on Ken during this rapid maneuver
Answer:
-6461.54 N
Explanation:
From Newton's Fundamental equation,
F = m(v-u)/t.................... Equation 1
Where F = Force exerted in sonic, m = mass of ken, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.
Given: m = 0.75 kg, v = - 60 m/s (opposite direction), u = 52 m/s, t = 13 ms = 0.013 s
Substitute into equation 1
F = 0.75(-60-52)/0.013
F = 0.75(-112)/0.013
F = -84/0.013
F = -6461.54 N
Note: The negative sign tells that the force act in opposite direction to the initial motion of ken.
Hence the magnitude of the average force of the wall = -6461.54 N
