As an analogy to wave packets, consider an "automobile packet" that occurs near the scene of an accident on a freeway. The phase

speed is analogous to the speed of individual automobiles as they move through the backup caused by the accident. The group speed can be identified as the speed of the leading edge of the packet of cars. For the automobile packet, which of the following is true? a. The group speed is greater than the phase speed. b. The group speed is the same as the phase speed c. The group speed is less than the phase speed

Answer:

c. The group speed is less than the phase speed.

Explanation:

For an individual the speed is given by v phase = w/k

w is angular frequency and k is wave number.

This is called phase speed. Group speed is the speed of wave packet.The rate of advance of a crest on a single wave point which is fixed phase.

As an aid in working this problem, consult Interactive Solution 3.41. A soccer player kicks the ball toward a goal that is 20.0
alekssr [168]

Answer:

V=14.9 m/s

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we are going to use the formulas of parabolic motion.

The velocity X-component of the ball is given by:

Vx=V*cos(\alpha)\\Vx=15.7*cos(31^o)=13.5m/s

The motion on the X axis is a constant velocity motion so:

t=\frac{d}{Vx}\\t=\frac{20.0}{13.5}=1.48s

The whole trajectory of the ball takes 1.48 seconds

We know that:

Vy=Voy+(a)*t\\Vy=15.7*sin(31^o)+(-9.8)*(1.48)=-6.42m/s

Knowing the X and Y components of the velocity, we can calculate its magnitude by:

V=\sqrt{Vx^2+Vy^2} \\V=\sqrt{(13.5)^2+(-6.42)^2}=14.9m/s

Can a average velocity be zero.Why? ​
marishachu [46]

<u>Answer:</u>

Yes

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average velocity is the ratio of total displacement and time taken for that displacement:

average \space\ velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}

This means if displacement is zero, then average velocity will also be zero.

Displacement is zero when an object moves some distance in one direction, and then moves the same distance but in the opposite direction.

∴ As it is possible for displacement to be zero, it is also possible for average velocity to be zero.

Astronomers have observed a small, massive object at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. A ring of material orbits this massive
Burka [1]

Answer:

1.91773\times 10^{37}\ kg

Explanation:

v = Orbital speed = 130 km/s

d = Diameter = 16 ly

r = Radius = \dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{16}{2}=8\ ly

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

1\ ly=9.461\times 10^{15}\ m

As the centripetal force balances the gravitational energy we have the following relation

\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{v^2r}{G}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{130000^2\times 8\times 9.461\times 10^{15}}{6.67\times 10^{-11}}\\\Rightarrow M=1.91773\times 10^{37}\ kg

Mass of the the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is 1.91773\times 10^{37}\ kg
