Answer:

12 m/s

Explanation:

Standing waves are waves that are formed between two fixed points in space, so they cannot propagate, but they are just oscillations about a fixed points. Examples of standing waves are the waves in a string.

The relationship between wavelength, frequency and speed of a wave is given by the wave equation:

v=f \lambda

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is its frequency

\lambda is its wavelength

For the standing wave in this problem we have:

f = 3 Hz is the frequency of the wave

\lambda=4 m is the wavelength

Solving for v, we find the velocity of the wave:

v=(3)(4)=12 m/s

Three masses are located in the x-y plane as follows: a mass of 6 kg is located at (0 m, 0 m), a mass of 4 kg is located at (3 m
Natali [406]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

D. (1m, 0.5m)

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The center of mass (or center of gravity) of a system of particles is the point where the weight acts when the individual particles are replaced by a single particle of equivalent mass. For the three masses, the coordinates of the center of mass C(x, y) is given by;

x = (m₁x₁ + m₂x₂ + m₃x₃) / M       ----------------(i)

y = (m₁y₁ + m₂y₂ + m₃y₃) / M       ----------------(ii)

Where;

M = sum of the masses

m₁ and x₁ = mass and position of first mass in the x direction.

m₂ and x₂ = mass and position of second mass in the x direction.

m₃ and x₃ = mass and position of third mass in the x direction.

y₁ , y₂ and y₃ = positions of the first, second and third masses respectively in the y direction.

From the question;

m₁ = 6kg

m₂ = 4kg

m₃ = 2kg

x₁ = 0m

x₂ = 3m

x₃ = 0m

y₁ = 0m

y₂ = 0m

y₃ = 3m

M = m₁ + m₂ + m₃ = 6 + 4 + 2 = 12kg

Substitute these values into equations (i) and (ii) as follows;

x = ((6x0) + (4x3) + (2x0)) / 12

x = 12 / 12

x = 1 m  

y = (6x0) + (4x0) + (2x3)) / 12

y = 6 / 12

y = 0.5m

Therefore, the center of mass of the system is at (1m, 0.5m)

An electric motor rotating a workshop grinding wheel at 1.06 102 rev/min is switched off. Assume the wheel has a constant negati
kvasek [131]

Answer:

t = 106π / 30*2.1

Explanation:

w_{i} = 1.06*10^{2}    => 106

    => 106 x 2π/60

    => 106/30π

∝ = -2.1 rad/sec²

w_{f} => 0

w_{f} = w_{i} + ∝t

∴ (w_{f} - w_{i}) / ∝ = t

t = 106π / 30*2.1

vichka [17]

Answer:

230.26 N

Explanation:

Since the speed is constant, acceleration is zero hence the net force will be given by the product of mass, coefficient of friction and acceleration due to gravity

F=0.72*32.6*9.81=230.26 N
