Explanation:
Draw a free body diagram for each disc.
Disc A has three forces acting on it: 86.5 N up, T₁ down, and Wa down.
∑F = ma
86.5 N − T₁ − Wa = 0
Wa = 86.5 N − T₁
ma × 9.8 m/s² = 86.5 N − 55.6 N
ma = 3.2 kg
Disc B has three forces acting on it: T₁ up, T₂ down, and Wb down.
∑F = ma
T₁ − T₂ − Wb = 0
Wb = T₁ − T₂
mb × 9.8 m/s² = 55.6 N − 36.5 N
mb = 1.9 kg
Disc C has three forces acting on it: T₂ up, T₃ down, and Wc down.
∑F = ma
T₂ − T₃ − Wc = 0
Wc = T₂ − T₃
mc × 9.8 m/s² = 36.5 N − 9.6 N
mc = 2.7 kg
Disc D has two forces acting on it: T₃ up and Wd down.
∑F = ma
T₃ − Wd = 0
Wd = T₃
md × 9.8 m/s² = 9.6 N
md = 0.98 kg
Answer:
Amplitude.
Explanation:
A wave can be defined as a disturbance in a medium that progressively transports energy from a source location to another location without the transportation of matter.
In Science, there are two (2) types of wave and these include;
I. Electromagnetic waves: it doesn't require a medium for its propagation and as such can travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of an electromagnetic wave is light.
II. Mechanical waves: it requires a medium for its propagation and as such can't travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of a mechanical wave is sound.
An amplitude can be defined as a waveform that's measured from the center line (its origin or equilibrium position) to the bottom of a trough or top of a crest.
Hence, an amplitude is a word that describes the maximum displacement a point moves from its rest position when a wave passes.
On a graph, the vertical axis (y-axis) is the amplitude of a waveform and this simply means that, it's measured vertically.
Mathematically, the amplitude of a wave is given by the formula;
x = Asin(ωt + ϕ)
Where;
x is displacement of the wave measured in meters.
A is the amplitude.
ω is the angular frequency measured in rad/s.
t is the time period measured in seconds.
ϕ is the phase angle.
if in series one lightbulb burns out the rest are unable to turn on.
In parallel a single light bulb burns out any other light bulbs are able to work.
Parallel is the best to use during holidays.
Answer:
State A = piece of metal; State B = air
Explanation:
For the three main states of matter here's how it breaks down.
Solid - Cannot be compressed and retains its shape
Liquid - Cannot be compressed and does not retain its shape
Gas - Compressible and does not retain its shape.
Knowing this State A has to be solid. Only one of the options has A as a solid, so that's the answer. Worth knowing state B is a gas though, only one compressible, just like solid is the only one that retains its shape.
