Nataliya [291]3 years ago

Answer:

Distance = 26.0m Displacement = 4.0m

Explanation:

Distance specifies only how far an object has traveled while displacement is the distance traveled in a specified direction.

Total distance traveled by the object will be distance travelled through north + distance travelled through south i.e 15.0m + 11.0m = 26.0m

Displacement is gotten by using the Pythagoras theorem. Since the object traveled in the same vertical direction (15.0m through north which is upward i.e positive y direction and 11.0m through south i.e in the negative y direction), the displacement will be 15.0m - 11.0m = 4.0m

The wrong statement is that sound waves created vibration Option A.

<h3>What are sound waves?</h3>

Sound is a type of waves that moves in compressions and rare factions. This implies that sound is a mechanical wave. Recall that a mechanical wave is one that requires a material medium for propagation. Now we know that if we set the medium into vibration, that is when the sound waves begins to vibrate. That brings us to the idea that it is the vibration that causes the sound waves and not the sound waves that creates the vibration.

Thus, knowing that sound is a mechanical wave which moves through solids liquids and gas and that the vibration of the source of sound is what causes the air to vibrate, we conclude that the wrong statement is that sound waves created vibration Option A.

A skier leaves the horizontal end of a ramp with a velocity of 25.0 m/s and lands 70.0 m from the base of the ramp. How high is
Valentin [98]

Answer:

<em>The end of the ramp is 38.416 m high</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Motion </u>

When an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v and from a height h, it follows a curved path ruled by gravity.

The maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object can be calculated as follows:

\displaystyle d=v\cdot\sqrt{\frac  {2h}{g}}

If the maximum horizontal distance is known, we can solve the above equation for h:

\displaystyle h=\frac  {d^2g}{2v^2}

The skier initiates the horizontal motion at v=25 m/s and lands at a distance d=70 m from the base of the ramp. The height is now calculated:

\displaystyle h=\frac  {70^2\cdot 9.8}{2\cdot 25^2}

\displaystyle h=\frac  {4900\cdot 9.8}{2\cdot 625}

h= 38.416 m

The end of the ramp is 38.416 m high

A woman is standing in the ocean, and she notices that after a wave crest passes, five more crests pass in a time of 54.0 s. The
timama [110]

Answer:

a) f=0.1 Hz ; b) T=10s

c)λ= 36m

d)v=3.6m/s

e)amplitude, cannot be determined

Explanation:

Complete question is:

Determine, if possible, the wave's (a) frequency, (b) period, (c) wavelength, (d) speed, and (e) amplitude.

Given:

number of wave crests 'n'= 5

pass in a time't' 54.0s

distance between two successive crests 'd'= 36m

a) Frequency of the waves 'f' can be determined by dividing number of wave crests with time, so we have

f=n/t

f= 5/ 54 => 0.1Hz

b)The time period of wave 'T' is the reciprocal of the frequency

therefore,

T=1/f

T=1/0.1

T=10 sec.

c)wavelength'λ' is the distance between two successive crests i.e 36m

Therefore, λ= 36m

d) speed of the wave 'v' can be determined by the product of frequency and wavelength

v= fλ => 0.1 x 36

v=3.6m/s

e) For amplitude, no data is given in this question. So, it cannot be determined.
