Scouts at a camp shake the rope bridge they have just crossed and observe the wave crests to be 9.70 m apart. If they shake the

bridge twice per second, what is the propagation speed of the waves (in m/s)?
Physics

Effectus [21]3 years ago

Answer:

<em> The speed of the wave is 19.4 m/s</em>

Explanation:

The wave's crest to crest distance (the wavelength of this rope's wave) λ= 9.70 m

The bridge is shaken twice, meaning that two wavelengths passed a given point on the rope per sec. The frequency of a wave is the amount of that wave that passes a given point in a second.

this means that the frequency f = 2 Hz

The speed of a wave = fλ = 9.70 x 2 =<em> 19.4 m/s</em>

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

a) \Delta{t} = 5.39s

b) the motorcycle travels 155 m

Explanation:

Let t_2-t_1 = \Delta{t}, then consider the equation of motion for the motorcycle (accelerated) and for the car (non accelerated):

v_{m2}=v_0+a\Delta{t}\\x+d=(\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2} )\Delta{t}\\v_c = v_0 = \frac{x}{\Delta{t}}

where:

v_{m2} is the speed of the motorcycle at time 2

v_{c} is the velocity of the car (constant)

v_{0} is the velocity of the car and the motorcycle at time 1

d is the distance between the car and the motorcycle at time 1

x is the distance traveled by the car between time 1 and time 2

Solving the system of equations:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}car&motorcycle\\x=v_0\Delta{t}&x+d=(\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2}}) \Delta{t}\end{array}\right]

v_0\Delta{t}=\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2}\Delta{t}-d \\\frac{v_0+v_{m2}}{2}\Delta{t}-v_0\Delta{t}=d\\(v_0+v_{m2})\Delta{t}-2v_0\Delta{t}=2d\\(v_0+v_0+a\Delta{t})\Delta{t}-2v_0\Delta{t}=2d\\(2v_0+a\Delta{t})\Delta{t}-2v_0\Delta{t}=2d\\a\Delta{t}^2=2d\\\Delta{t}=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2*58}{4}}=\sqrt{29}=5.385s

For the second part, we need to calculate x+d, so you can use the equation of the car to calculate x:

x = v_0\Delta{t}= 18\sqrt{29}=96.933m\\then:\\x+d = 154.933

A flywheel in a motor is spinning at 590 rpm when a power failure suddenly occurs. The flywheel has mass 40.0 kg and diameter 75
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

Let's get the data for this question before proceeding to solve the problems.

Mass of flywheel = 40kg

Speed of flywheel = 590rpm

Diameter = 75cm , radius = diameter/ 2 = 75 / 2 = 37.5cm.

Time = 30s = 0.5 min

During the power off, the flywheel made 230 complete revolutions.

∇θ = [(ω₂ + ω₁) / 2] × t

∇θ = [(590 + ω₂) / 2] × 0.5

But ∇θ = 230 revolutions

∇θ/t = (530 + ω₂) / 2

230 / 0.5 = (530 + ω₂) / 2

Solve for ω₂

460 = 295 + 0.5ω₂

ω₂ = 330rpm

a)

ω₂ = ω₁ + αt

but α = ?

α = (ω₂ - ω₁) / t

α = (330 - 590) / 0.5

α = -260 / 0.5

α = -520rev/min

b)

ω₂ = ω₁ + αt

0 = 590 +(-520)t

520t = 590

solve for t

t = 590 / 520

t = 1.13min

60 seconds = 1min

X seconds = 1.13min

x = (60 × 1.13) / 1

x = 68seconds

∇θ = [(ω₂ + ω₁) / 2] × t

∇θ = [(590 + 0) / 2] × 1.13

∇θ = 333.35 rev/min

If two particles have equal charges and are placed near one another, how
navik [9.2K]

Answer: C) The two particles will move away from each other

Explanation:

When two electrically charged bodies come closer, appears a force that attracts or repels them, depending on the sign of the charges of this two bodies.

This is stated by Coulomb's Law:

"The electrostatic force F_{E} between two point charges q_{1} and q_{2} is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance d that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them"  

Mathematically this law is written as:  

F_{E}= K\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{d^{2}}  

Where K is a proportionality constant.  

Now, if q_{1} and q_{2} have the same sign charge (both positive or both negative), a repulsive force will act on these charges.

What does the slope of a velocity-time graph reveal about an objects motion
Ivan

Answer:

The slope of a velocity graph represents the acceleration of the object. So, the value of the slope at a particular time represents the acceleration of the object at that instant.
