the amount of time for one particle of the medium to make one comlpete vibration cycle is a good description of

-Dominant- [34]

That's the definition of the PERIOD of the vibration.
It's exactly the reciprocal of the vibration's frequency.

A 12.8-kg monkey hangs from a cord suspended from the ceiling of an elevator. The cord can withstand a tension of 156N and break

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

$2.4 m/s^2$

Downward

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of monkey=12.8 kg

Tension=156 N

We have to find the magnitude of the elevator's minimum acceleration.

$T=m(g+a)$

Where $g=9.8 m/s^2$

Substitute the values

$156=12.8(a+9.8)$

$9.8+a=\frac{156}{12.8}=12.2$

$a=12.2-9.8=2.4 m/s^2$

Hence, the acceleration = $a=2.4 m/s^2$

Direction of the elevator's minimum acceleration is downward because the elevator moves downwards.

A particle moves along a straight line. Its position at any instant is given by x = 32t− 38t^3/3 where x is in metre and t in se

Rudik [331]

Answer:

The acceleration of the object is -69.78 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

postion of the particle:

$x = 32t - 38\frac{t^3}{3} \\\\$

The velocity of the particle is calculated as the change in the position of the particle with time;

$v = \frac{dx}{dt} = 32 - 38t^2\\\\when \ the \ particle \ is \ at \ rest, \ v = 0\\\\32-38t^2 = 0\\\\38t^2 = 32\\\\t^2 = \frac{32}{38} \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{32}{38} } \\\\t = 0.918 \ s$

Acceleration is the change in velocity with time;

$a = \frac{dv}{dt} = -76t\\\\recall , \ t = 0.918 \ s\\\\a = -76(0.918)\\\\a = -69.78 \ m/s^2$

How does an environmental change (ex. hurricane, drought, etc.) affect the organisms that are adapted to the environment before

rjkz [21]

The environmental changes can will negatively affect different organisms differently, for example some organisms might die due to failure of the organisms to adapt to the new changes. Some organisms will be forced to migrate in order to counter these changes, this may lead to this organisms leaving their old living routine and adapt to the new methods of living, this may lead to evolution caused by new environment.
