Answer:

A surface wave is a wave that moves along the interface of two different materials, like air and water.

Explanation:

A surface wave (from its name) travels on a surface that is found between two different materials.

The motion of the particles of a surface wave is either in the form of ellipse (elliptical motion) or circle (circular motion.

The motion of the particles of a surface wave is considered to be a combination of both transversal motion and longitudinal motion.

A certain light truck can go around a flat curve having a radius of 150 m with a maximum speed of 35.5 m/s. a) What is the coeff

postnew [5]

Answer:

The coefficient of friction present between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is 0.833.

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the curve (R) = 150 m

Maximum speed of truck (v) = 35.5 m/s

Let the coefficient of friction between the roadway and the wheels of the truck be "μ".

As the truck is moving around a circular curve. So, the force acting on it is centripetal force which acts in the radial inward direction towards the center of the circular curve.

The centripetal force acting on the truck is given as:

$F_c=\frac{mv^2}{R}$

Now, the friction between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is responsible for providing the necessary centripetal force. So, frictional force is equal to the centripetal force necessary for circular motion.

Frictional force is given as:

$f=\mu N$

Where, 'N' is the normal force. Since there is no vertical motion, the normal force is equal to weight of truck. So,

$N=mg$

Therefore, frictional force, $f=\mu mg$

Now, frictional force = centripetal force

$f=F_c\\\\\mu mg=\frac{mv^2}{R}\\\\\mu = \frac{v^2}{Rg}$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'μ'. This gives,

$\mu=\frac{(35\ m/s)^2}{(150\ m)(9.8\ m/s^2)}\\\\\mu=\frac{1225\ m^2/s^2}{1470\ m^2/s^2}\\\\\mu=0.833$

Therefore, the coefficient of friction present between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is 0.833

Write a hypothesis about how the number of half-lives affects the number of radioactive atoms. Use the "if . . . then . . . beca

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

The half life is the time taken for half of a radioactive substance to disintegrate.

The shorter the half life, the larger the decay constant and the faster the decay process.

For a very large half life, it would take a very long time for the radioactive nuclide to decay to half.

With each half life reached, a new set of daughter cell is formed. Atoms that have short half life would decay rapidly. Every radionuclide has its own characteristic half-life.

If the number of half-lives increases, then the number of radioactive atoms decreases, because approximately half of the atoms' nuclei decay with each half-life. With this observation, we can hypothesise and conduct experiment to support the assertion that as the number of half-lives increases then the number of radioactive atoms decreases.

A sled of mass m is being pulled horizontally by a constant horizontal force of magnitude F. The coefficient of kinetic friction

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The average velocity of the sled is vavg = s/t.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average velocity is calculated as the traveled distance over time:

vavg = Δx/Δt

Where:

vavg = average velocity.

Δx = traveled distance.

Δt = elapsed time.

We already know the traveled distance (s) and also know the time it takes the sled to travel that distance (t). Then, the average velocity can be calculated as follows:

vavg = s/t

Have a nice day!

How can you tell if something has a lot of kinetic energy? How can you tell if something only has a little bit of kinetic energy

dezoksy [38]

Based on the equation KE = 1/2(m)(v^2), Kinetic Energy can be measured based on velocity. If an object has a large velocity, it have a larger kinetic energy than if the velocity is small.
