The flat line running through the middle of the wave - Rest Position
Distance from rest position to the crest or trough - Amplitude
Highest point of a wave - Crest
Distance from two consecutive crests or troughs - Wavelength
Lowest point of a wave - Trough
Answer:
x = 2.69 cm
Explanation:
We are given ;
Density of oil; ρ_oil = 924 kg/m³
Density of wood; ρ_wood = 970 kg/m³
h = 3.79cm
Density of water ( ρ_water) has a constant value of 1000 kg/m³
At equilibrium position, we have;
ρ_wood•g•h - ρ_oil•g•(h - x) - ρ_water•g•x = 0
This is because the density of oil is lower than that of water while density of wood is higher than that of oil but lower than that of water.
x is the distance below the interface between the two liquids is the bottom of the block.
Thus, let's make x the subject;
x = [(ρ_wood - ρ_oil)/(ρ_water - ρ_oil)] x h
Plugging in the relevant values to get ;
x = [(970 - 924)/(1000 - 924)] x 3.79
x = (54/76) x 3.79 = 2.69cm
Answer:
(a). 19.0 m/s
(b). 9.5m/s
Explanation:
Assuming speed of sound is 343m/s.
(a).
As the train approaches, from the the Doppler equation we have
solving for we get:
.
And as the train cuts its speed in half, the equation gives
substituting the value of we get:
or 68.6 km per hour, which is the speed of the train before slowing down.
(b).
The speed of the train after slowing down is half the previous speed; therefore,
or 34.3 km per hour.
Answer:
Lifeless because of the lack of rain
