Answer:
wavelength refers to the length of a wave from one peak to the next.the amplitude of a wave Is measured from the peak to the trough
Answer:
A. -5488J
B. 273.8J
C. 372.44N
Explanation:
Given:
m = 40kg
h = 14 m
v= 3.7 m/s
Part(a)
The change in the potential energy of the bear Earth system during the slide
AU = -mgh = -40(9.8) (14) = -5488 J
Part(b)
The kinetic energy of the bear just before hitting the ground is
Ks 1/2 mV^2= (40)(3.7)2 = 547.6 /2 = 273.8J
Part(c)
The change in the thermal energy of the system due to friction is
AEth = fxh=-(AK +AU) = 5488– 273.8 = 5214.2 J
The average frictional force that acts on the sliding bear is
F = Eth / 14= 5214.2/14 =372.44N
In a collision an object experiences impulses, this impulse can be determined by the product of net force exerted upon it in the specific course of time.
<u>Explanation:</u>
An object experiences impulse due to the force exerted upon it in a particular time period.
i.e.

Where,
F - Force acted upon the object
- time interval for which the force act
According to the definition of Impulse, it is the integral of force (F) that acts upon any object over a time interval ∆t. It produces an equivalent change in the momentum and that too in the same direction as of the applied force (F).
Therefore, in order to find the impulse on an object, we have to find the force acted on it in a specific time interval.
