Garrett throws a large rock into a waveless pond. The impact of the rock hitting the water causes waves to travel along the pond

's surface toward the shore. If Garrett counts the number of waves that reach the shore over a 10 second period, what property of the waves is he measuring?

The number of waves arriving at the same place in a fixed amount
of time is directly related to the frequency of the waves.

Alina [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

Our lunar companion rotates while it orbits Earth. It's just that the amount of time it takes the moon to complete a revolution on its axis is the same it takes to circle our planet — about 27 days. As a result, the same lunar hemisphere always faces Earth.

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at the compressed position. A 4.97-g pellet

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

$v = 2.8898 \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

This is a problem easily solve using energy conservation. As there are no non-conservative forces, we know that the energy is conserved.

When the spring is compressed downward, the spring has elastic potential energy. When the spring is relaxed, there is no elastic potential energy, but the pellet will have gained gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. Lets see what are the terms for each of this.

<h3>Elastic potential energy</h3>

We know that a spring following Hooke's Law has a elastic potential energy:

$E_{ep} = \frac{1}{2} k (\Delta x)^2$

where $\Delta x$ is the displacement from the relaxed length and k is the spring's constant.

To obtain the spring's constant, we know that Hooke's law states that the force made by the spring is :

$\vec{F} = - k \Delta \vec{x}$

as we need 9.12 N to compress 4.60 cm, this means:

$k = \frac{9.12 \ N}{4.6 \ 10^{-2} \ m}$

$k = 198.26 \ \frac{ N}{m}$

So, the elastic energy of the compressed spring is:

$E_{ep} = \frac{1}{2} 198.26 \ \frac{ N}{m} (4.6 \ 10^{-2} \ m)^2$

$E_{ep} = 0.209759 \ Joules$

And when the spring is relaxed, the elastic potential energy will be zero.

<h3>Gravitational potential energy</h3>

To see how much gravitational potential energy will the pellet win, we can use

$\Delta E_{gp} = m g \Delta h$

where m is the mass of the pellet, g is the acceleration due to gravity and \Delta h is the difference in height.

Taking all this together, the gravitational potential energy when the spring is relaxed will be:

$\Delta E_{gp} = 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} 4.6 \ 10^{-2} m$

$\Delta E_{gp} = 0.00224 \ Joules$

<h3>Kinetic Energy</h3>

We know that the kinetic energy for a mass m moving at speed v is:

$E_k = \frac{1}{2} m v^2$

so, for the pellet will be

$E_k = \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2$

<h3>All together</h3>

By conservation of energy, we know:

$E_{ep} = \Delta E_{gp} + E_k$

$0.209759 \ Joules = 0.00224 \ Joules + \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2$

So

$\frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2 = 0.209759 \ Joules - 0.00224 \ Joules$

$\frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2 = 0.207519 \ Joules$

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.207519 \ Joules}{ \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg } }$

$v = 2.8898 \frac{m}{s}$

The question is in the picture

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

e) 120m/s

Explanation:

When the ball reaches its highest point, its velocity becomes zero, meaning

$v_0-gt = 0$ .

where $v_0$ is the initial velocity.

Solving for $t$ we get

$t = \dfrac{v_0}{g}$

which is the time it takes the ball to reach the highest point.

Now, after the ball has reached its highest point, it turns around and falls downwards. After time $t_0$ since it had reached the highest point, the ball has traveled downwards and the velocity $v_f$ it has gained is

$v_f = gt_0$ ,

and we are told that this is twice the initial velocity $v_0$ ; therefore,

$v_f = 2v_0 = gt_0$

which gives

$t_0 = \dfrac{2v_0}{g}.$

Thus, the total time taken to reach velocity $2v_0$ is

$t_{tot} = t+t_0 = \dfrac{v_0}{g}+\dfrac{2v_0}{g}$

$t_{tot} = \dfrac{3v_0}{g}.$

This $t_{tot}$ , we are told, is 36 seconds; therefore,

$36= \dfrac{3v_0}{g},$

and solving for $v_0$ we get:

$v_0 = \dfrac{36g}{3}$

$v_0 = \dfrac{36s(10m/s^2)}{3}$

$\boxed{v_0 = 120m/s}$

which from the options given is choice e.
