Answer:

B. Amplitude is the height of a wave.

Explanation:

Amplitude may have differing (and sometimes tricky) definitions. The most frequent, for symmetric waves) is one that declares an amplitude the change of a signal/wave-height from the zero-intercept/equilibrium point, or, similarly, half the difference between the maximum and the minimum peak within one period.

Four uniform spheres, with masses mA = 200 kg, mB = 250 kg, mC = 1700 kg, and mD = 100 kg, have (x, y) coordinates of (0, 50 cm)

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

$F_2=2.43\times10^{-19}\ N$

$\theta=21.496^{\circ}$ in the anticlockwise direction from the positive x- axis.

Explanation:

Given are the masses of various spheres with their names in subscript:

$m_A=200\ kg$

$m_B=250\ kg$

$m_C=1700\ kg$

$m_D=100\ kg$

Now their respective coordinate positions (in cm) are as given below:

$P_A=(0,50)$

$P_B=(0,0)$

$P_C=(-80,0)$

$P_D=(40,0)$

Now force on B due to A:

$F_{BA}=G\times \frac{200\times 250}{50^2}$

$F_{BA}=20G\ N$

Now force on B due to C:

$F_{BC}=G\times \frac{1700\times 250}{80^2}$

$F_{BC}=66.406G\ N$

Now force on B due to D:

$F_{BD}=G\times \frac{100\times 250}{40^2}$

$F_{BD}=15.625G\ N$

We observe that the forces due to masses C&D act opposite in direction.

So, the net force in the x-direction:

$F_x=F_{BC}-F_{BD}$

$F_x=66.406G-15.625G$

$F_x=50.781G\ N$ in the positive x-direction

We have only one force in y-direction due to mass A.

So,

$F_y=20G\ N$ in the positive y-direction.

Now the net force:

$F_2=\sqrt{F_y^2+F_x^2}$

$F_2=\sqrt{(20G)^2+(50.781G)^2}$

$F_2=54.5776G^2\ N$

$F_2=2.43\times10^{-19}\ N$

Now the direction of this force with respect to x-axis:

$tan\ \theta=\frac{F_y}{F_x}$

$tan\ \theta=\frac{20G}{50.781G}$

$\theta=21.496^{\circ}$ in the anticlockwise direction from the positive x- axis.

A 90.00-kg hockey goalie, at rest in front of the goal, stops a puck (m = 0.16 kg) that is traveling at 30.00 m/s. at what speed

Ivahew [28]

5.3 cm/s This is a matter of conservation of momentum. Since there's no mention of the puck rebounding, I will consider this to be a totally non-elastic collision. So, let's determine the starting momentum of the system. Goalie is at rest, so his momentum is 0. Puck is moving at 30.00 m/s with a mass of 0.16 kg, so: 30.00 m/s * 0.16 kg = 4.8 kg*m/s So the starting momentum is 4.8 kg*m/s moving towards the goal. After the collision, the puck and goalie will have the same momentum. So figure out the mass of the new system: 90.00 kg + 0.16 kg = 90.16 kg And divide the system momentum by the system mass: 4.8 kg*m/s / 90.16 kg = 0.053238687 m/s Finally, round to the least precise datum, so the result to 2 significant figures is 0.053 m/s, or 5.3 cm/s.

Please Please I only need help in Questions 4 and 5!

sdas [7]

I'm not sure but for the first one, if there were more electrons than protons that would mean the object would have a positive charge so you could put another object that is positively charged near it, to see if it would attract and if it would it would mean it's negatively charged and if it wouldn't it would mean it's positively charged. (not sure)

for the second one, after you've rubbed the balloon oh hair, the electrons from your hair have transferred onto the balloon, meaning that the balloon is now negatively charged. because the wall is neutral, it means that it has the SAME number of both protons and electrons ( positive and negative charges cancel out to create a neutral charge). because the protons are positively charged, and the balloon is negatively charged, the two objects will attract because opposite charges attract. this happens because of static electricity.

hope this helps :)

A charged balloon will stick to a neutral wall. which process is involved?

Leokris [45]

The charged balloon will stick to a neutral wall because of the Static Electricity:

The matter is formed by atoms and these atoms are composed of electrons, protons and neutrons (the electrons have a negative charge, the protons have a positive charge and the neutrons have no charge).

As the balloon is charged (It gained electrons), and the charge of the same sign repel each other, when it approaches the wall, the electrons of this wall will move away, and the positive charges (protons) will remain in the nearest area to the balloon. As the charges of different signs are attracted, the balloon will be stuck to the wall.
