Answer:

190.3759 pounds

Explanation:

If the astronaut weighs 210 pounds when he is at a distance of 3978 miles from the Earth's center, then he will weigh

210 [3978 / (3978 + 200) ]² = 190.3759 pounds

at an altitude of 200 km.

Ten students stand in a circle and are told to make a transverse wave. What best describes the motion of the students? Each stud
Bond [772]

Lifting hands and the down by one student at a time best describe the presentation of the transverse wave by students. Option D is correct.

<h3>What is a Transverse wave?</h3>
  • The wave in which the oscillation of particles is is perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.

  • The students can make a transverse wave by raising their hands up and then down, one student at a time.

  • The raised hand represents the oscillation of particles while the sequence of the raising hand represents the direction of energy transfer.

Therefore, lifting hands and the down by one student at a time best describe the presentation of the transverse wave by students.

A 23.3-kg mass is attached to one end of a horizontal spring, with the other end of the spring fixed to a wall. The mass is pull
sdas [7]

In spring mass system we know that angular frequency is given as

\omega = 2\pi f

f = 8.38 Hz

\omega = 2\pi(8.38)

\omega = 52.65  rad/s

now we know that speed of SHM at its extreme position is given by

v = A\omega

here we know that

A = 17.5 cm

v = 0.175 (52.65)

v = 9.21 m/s

so maximum speed is 9.21 m/s
