Issac Newton

In the 17th century, Isaac Newton discovered that prisms could disassemble and reassemble white light, and described the phenomenon in his book Opticks. He was the first to use the word spectrum (Latin for "appearance" or "apparition") in this sense in print in 1671 in describing his experiments in optics.

Write the y-equation for a wave traveling in the negative x-direction with wavelength 50 cm, speed 4.0 m/s, and amplitude 5.0 cm
Zanzabum

Answer:

y = A sin(2\pi(\dfrac{x}{50})+ 8 t)

Explanation:

given,

wavelength, λ = 50 cm

speed, v = 4 m/s

Amplitude, A = 5 cm

general equation of the wave along x- axis

y = A sin(2\pi(\dfrac{x}{\lambda})\pm \nu t)

sign is positive when wave is traveling in negative direction

now,

\nu = \dfrac{v}{\lambda}

\nu = \dfrac{4}{0.5}

\nu = 8\ s^{-1}

inserting all the values

y = A sin(2\pi(\dfrac{x}{50})+ 8 t)

Hence, the y-equation of wave is equal to y = A sin(2\pi(\dfrac{x}{50})+ 8 t)

Technician A says that gears may be used to apply torque to other rotating parts. Technician B says that gears may be used to mu
Goryan [66]

Answer:

Both technicians are right.

Explanation:

Torque is defined as a rotational force that can be calculated by the formula T= F.d. Being F the force applied to a body to make it rotate and d the distance since the force is applied.  

T= F . d

So technician A is saying that gear can apply a torque to another gear, and that is true because it’s applying a rotational force to the gear next to it, in simple terms  -anytime I make something rotate, I'm generating a torque-. And for technician B, the torque also can vary as a function of the distance of the force applied (size of the gear), so, it can multiply the torque and change the rotation speed.

A 5.0-kilogram box is sliding across a level floor. The box is acted upon by a force of 27 newtons east and a frictional force o
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the box is 2 m/s².

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the box, m=5.0 kg

Force acting towards east, F=27 N

Frictional force acting towards west, f=17 N

Let the acceleration be a m/s².

Now, net force acting on the box towards east is given as:

F_{net}=F-f=27-17=10\textrm{ N}

From Newton's second law of motion,

F_{net}=ma\\10=5.0\times a\\a=\frac{10}{5.0}=2\textrm{ }m/s^2

Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration of the box is 2 m/s².
