Sound waves strike a glass and cause it to shatter.

1 answer:

3 0

1. Resonance. Mechanical waves act on or through a medium, these waves can often have frequencies that are synchronized in a way that makes them act on the matter in the medium more "aggressively."

Suppose we could shrink the earth without changing its mass..?At what fraction of its current radius would the free-fall acceler

Drupady [299]

Answer:

at R/ $\sqrt{3}$

Explanation:

The free-fall acceleration at the surface of Earth is given by

$g=\frac{GM}{R^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

R is the Earth's radius

The formula can be rewritten as

$R=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{g}}$ (1)

We want to shrink the Earth at a radius R' such that the acceleration of gravity becomes 3 times the present value, so

g' = 3g

Keeping the mass constant, M, and substituting into the equation, we have

$3g=\frac{GM}{R'^2}$

$R'=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{3g}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\sqrt{\frac{GM}{g}}=\frac{R}{\sqrt{3}}$

Alex, parked by the side of an east-west road, is watching car P, which is moving in a westerly direction. Barbara, driving east

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

$v_{PB} = 130\ km/h$

Explanation:

Since, Alex is at rest. Therefore, the speed measured by him will be the absolute speed of car P. Therefore, taking easterly direction as positive:

$Absolute\ Velocity\ of\ Car\ P = v_{P} = -78\ km/h$

And the absolute velocity of Barbara's Car is given as: $Absolute\ Velocity\ of\ Barbara's\ Car = v_{B} = 52\ km/h$

Now, for the velocity of Car p with respect to the velocity of Barbara's Car can be given s follows:

$Velocity\ of\ Car\ P\ measured\ by\ Barbara = v_{PB} = v_{B}-v_{P}\\\\v_{PB} = 52\ km/h-(-78\ km/h)$

$v_{PB} = 130\ km/h$

A river flows due south with a speed of 2.0 m/s .You steer a motorboat across the river; your velocity relative to the water is

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

a) $v_m =\sqrt{v^2_x + v^2_y} = \sqrt{(2m/s)^2 +(4.8 m/s)^2}= 5.2 m/s$

b) $\theta= tan^{-1} \frac{v_y}{v_x} = tan^{-1} (\frac{2}{4.8})= 22.62$ degrees and on this case to the South of the East.

c) $t= \frac{w}{v_m}= \frac{600m}{4.8 m/s}= 125 s$

d) $Y = 2 m/s * 125 s = 250m$

So it would be 250 to the South

Explanation:

Part a

For this case the figure attached shows the illustration for the problem.

We know that $v_y = 2 m/s$ represent the velocity of the river to the south.

We have the velocity of the motorboard relative to the water and on this case is $V_x= 4.8 m/s$

And we want to find the velocity of the motord board relative to the Earth $v_m$

And we can find this velocity from the Pythagorean Theorem.

$v_m =\sqrt{v^2_x + v^2_y} = \sqrt{(2m/s)^2 +(4.8 m/s)^2}= 5.2 m/s$

Part b

We can find the direction with the following formula:

$\theta= tan^{-1} \frac{v_y}{v_x} = tan^{-1} (\frac{2}{4.8})= 22.62$ degrees and on this case to the South of the East.

Part c

For this case we can use the following definition

$D = Vt$

The distance would be D = w = 600 m and the velocity V = 4.8m/s and if we solve for t we got:

$t= \frac{w}{v_m}= \frac{600m}{4.8 m/s}= 125 s$

Part d

For this case we can use the same definition but now using the y compnent we have:

$Y = v_y t$

And replacing we got:

$Y = 2 m/s * 125 s = 250m$

So it would be 250 to the South
