A certain electromagnetic wave traveling in seawater was observed to have an amplitude of 98.02 (V/m) at a depth of 10 m, and an

amplitude of 81.87 (V/m) at a depth of 100 m. What is the attenuation constant of seawater

Answer:

The  value is   \alpha =  0.002 Np/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The first amplitude of the wave is  E_{max}1 =  98.02 \  V/m

  The first  depth  is  D_1 =  10 \  m

   The second amplitude is  E_{max}2 =  81.87 \  (V/m)

   The second depth is D_2 = 100 \ m

Generally from the spatial wave equation we have

   v(x) =  Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x  + \phi_o)

=>       \frac{v(x)}{v(x)} =\frac{  Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x  + \phi_o)}{ Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x  + \phi_o)}

So considering the ratio of the equation for the  two depth

\frac{A}{A_S}  =  \frac{e^{-D_1 \alpha }}{e^{-D_2 \alpha }}

=>   \frac{98.02}{81.87}  =  \frac{e^{-10 \alpha }}{e^{-100 \alpha }}

=>   \alpha  =  \frac{0.18}{90}

=>    \alpha =  0.002 Np/m

Particle A and particle B are held together with a compressed spring between them. When they are released, the spring pushes the
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

 K_a = 8,111 J

Explanation:

This is a collision exercise, let's define the system as formed by the two particles A and B, in this way the forces during the collision are internal and the moment is conserved

initial instant. Just before dropping the particles

          p₀ = 0

final moment

          p_f = m_a v_a + m_b v_b

          p₀ = p_f

          0 = m_a v_a + m_b v_b

tells us that

          m_a = 8 m_b

         

           0 = 8 m_b v_a + m_b v_b

           v_b = - 8 v_a                    (1)

indicate that the transfer is complete, therefore the kinematic energy is conserved

starting point

           Em₀ = K₀ = 73 J

final point. After separating the body

          Em_f = K_f = ½ m_a v_a² + ½ m_b v_b²

           K₀ = K_f

           73 = ½ m_a (v_a² + v_b² / 8)

           

we substitute equation 1

           73 = ½ m_a (v_a² + 8² v_a² / 8)

           73 = ½ m_a (9 v_a²)

           73/9 = ½ m_a (v_a²) = K_a

            K_a = 8,111 J

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer: This type of questions are called probing questions. The correct option is D.

Explanation:

Probing questions are the type of questions that are asked to investigate an ongoing event. It helps the investigator to know more about what is happening and how to obtain conclusive decisions through the personal opinions of the respondent . For example from the question, Liza wanted to know more about the project updates which was held in the weekly meetings. She asked her employees questions like:

- Why were you late meeting your last deadline?

-Were there external factors that delayed your work?

-Did other coworkers get their part of the assignment to you on time?

- Do you need more help from me?".

Improving your cardiovascular endurance, such as aerobic activity, can get your heart pumping, make you sweaty, and quicken your
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - oxygen.

Explanation:

Cardiovascular endurance is the ability to do physical activity or exercise without affecting or being tired for a longer time period. Aerobic exercise or activity can help to increase cardiovascular endurance.

Improving the cardiovascular system helps in delivering oxygen as per the demands with the help of the heart that pumps the oxygen-rich blood to different organs of an individual and lungs by inhaling enough oxygen.

A large helium filled balloon is used as the center piece for a graduation party. The balloon alone has a mass of 225 kg and it
Orlov [11]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Newton's second law, the definition of density and sum of forces in bodies.

From Newton's second law we understand that

F= ma (\rightarrow Gravity at this case)

Where,

m = mass

a= acceleration

Also we know that

\rho = \frac{m}{V} \Rightarrow m = \rho V

Part A) The buoyant force acting on the balloon is given as

F_b = ma

As mass is equal to the density and Volume and acceleration equal to Gravity constant

F_b = \rho V g

F_b = 1.2*323*9.8

F_b = 3798.5

PART B) The forces acting on the balloon would be given by the upper thrust force given by the fluid and its weight, then

F_{net} = F_b -W

F_{net} = F_b -(mg+\rho_H Vg)

F_{net} = 3798.5-(9.8*225*9.8*0.179*323)

F_{net} = 1030N

PART C) The additional mass that can the balloon support in equilibrium is given as

F_{net} = m' g

m' =\frac{F_{net}}{g}

m' = \frac{1030}{9.8}

m' = 105Kg
