Apply the wave equation:
v = wavelength × frequency
v = 8 m × 4 Hz = 32 m/s.

Sphinxa [80]

The forces between the apple and Earth are the same in magnitude. Force is the same either way, but the corresponding accelerations of each are different.

I have a bottle of gas, the bottle can expand and contract. Initially the gas is at 1 kpa of pressure and a volume of 1 Liter, a

drek231 [11]

Answer:

P₂ = 1.22 kPa

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the equation of state:

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

P₁ = initial pressure = 1 KPa

P₂ = final pressure = ?

V₁ = initial Volume = 1 liter

V₂ = final volume = 1.1 liter

T₁ = initial temperature = 290 k

T₂ = final temperature = 390 k

Therefore,

$\frac{(1\ kPa)(1\ liter)}{290\ k} =\frac{(P_2)(1.1\ liter)}{390\ k}\\\\P_2= \frac{(1\ kPa)(1\ liter)(390\ k)}{(290\ k)(1.1\ liter)}$

A constant torque of 3 Nm is applied to an unloaded motor at rest at time t = 0. The motor reaches a speed of 1,393 rpm in 4 s.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

The moment of inertia of the motor is 0.0823 Newton-meter-square seconds.

Explanation:

From Newton's Laws of Motion and Principle of Motion of D'Alembert, the net torque of a system ( $\tau$ ), measured in Newton-meters, is:

$\tau = I\cdot \alpha$ (1)

Where:

$I$ - Moment of inertia, measured in Newton-meter-square seconds.

$\alpha$ - Angular acceleration, measured in radians per square second.

If motor have an uniform acceleration, then we can calculate acceleration by this formula:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega - \omega_{o}}{t}$ (2)

Where:

$\omega_{o}$ - Initial angular speed, measured in radians per second.

$\omega$ - Final angular speed, measured in radians per second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

If we know that $\tau = 3\,N\cdot m$ , $\omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s }$ , $\omega = 145.875\,\frac{rad}{s}$ and $t = 4\,s$ , then the moment of inertia of the motor is:

$\alpha = \frac{145.875\,\frac{rad}{s}-0\,\frac{rad}{s}}{4\,s}$

$\alpha = 36.469\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$

$I = \frac{\tau}{\alpha}$

$I = \frac{3\,N\cdot m}{36.469\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} }$

$I = 0.0823\,N\cdot m\cdot s^{2}$

The moment of inertia of the motor is 0.0823 Newton-meter-square seconds.

"Two long parallel wires 24.0 cm apart carry currents of 3.0 A and 8.0 A in the same direction. How far from the wire carrying 3

avanturin [10]

Answer:

6.5454 m

Explanation:

Let the distance from the wire carrying 3 A current is x

Then the distance from the the carrying current 8 A is 24-x

We know that magnetic field due to long wire is given by $B=\frac{\mu _0i}{2\pi r}$

It is given that magnetic field is zero at some distance so

$\frac{\mu _0i_1}{2\pi x}=\frac{\mu _0i_2}{2\pi (24-x)}$

Here $i_1=3\ A \ and\ i_2=8\ A$

So $\frac{3}{x}=\frac{8}{24-x}=6.5454\ m$

What type of plate boundary interactions takes place when tectonic plates move apart?

grigory [225]

Tectonic plates interactions are of three different basic types: Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys. <span />
