How is a wavelength measured in a compressional wave?

1 answer:

6 0

A wavelength measurement is made by measuring the distance from a compression to the next compression or from a rarefaction to the next rarefaction . Let me know if I really help you my friend !

2 ways in which the effects of friction can be minimised in the experiment

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Friction can be minimized by using lubricants like oil and grease and by using ball bearing between machine parts. A substance that is introduced between two surfaces in contact, to reduce friction, is called a lubricant. Fluid friction can be minimized by giving suitable shapes to the objects moving in the fluids.

A concave mirror has a focal length of 13.5 cm. This mirror forms an image located 37.5 cm in front of the mirror. Find the magn

77julia77 [94]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Focal length of the concave mirror, f = -13.5 cm

Image distance, v = -37.5 cm (in front of mirror)

Let u is the object distance. It can be calculated using the mirror's formula as :

$\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}$

$\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{v}$

$\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{(-13.5)}-\dfrac{1}{(-37.5)}$

u = -21.09 cm

The magnification of the mirror is given by :

$m=\dfrac{-v}{u}$

$m=\dfrac{-(-37.5)}{(-21.09)}$

m = -1.77

So, the magnification produced by the mirror is (-1.77). Hence, this is the required solution.

In a race, Usain Bolt accelerates at

jeka94

Answer:

65.87 s

Explanation:

For the first time,

Applying

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance

From the question,

Given: u = 0 m/s (from rest), a = 1.99 m/s², s = 60 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

v² = 0²+2(1.99)(60)

v² = 238.8

v = √238.8

v = 15.45 m/s

Therefore, time taken for the first 60 m is

t = (v-u)/a............ Equation 2

t = (15.45-0)/1.99

t = 7.77 s

For the final 40 meter,

t = (v-u)/a

Given: v = 0 m/s(decelerates), u = 15.45 m/s, a = -0.266 m/s²

Substitute into the equation above

t = (0-15.45)/-0.266

t = 58.1 seconds

Hence total time taken to cover the distance

T = 7.77+58.1

T = 65.87 s

Block A has a mass of 0.5kg, and block B has a mass of 2kg. Block is is released at a height of 0.75 meters above B. The coeffic

VikaD [51]

Answer:

0.075 m

Explanation:

The picture of the problem is missing: find it in attachment.

At first, block A is released at a distance of

h = 0.75 m

above block B. According to the law of conservation of energy, its initial potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, so we can write:

$m_Agh=\frac{1}{2}m_Av_A^2$

where

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

$m_A=0.5 kg$ is the mass of the block

$v_A$ is the speed of the block A just before touching block B

Solving for the speed,

$v_A=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(0.75)}=3.83 m/s$

Then, block A collides with block B. The coefficient of restitution in the collision is given by:

$e=\frac{v'_B-v'_A}{v_A-v_B}$

where:

e = 0.7 is the coefficient of restitution in this case

$v_B'$ is the final velocity of block B

$v_A'$ is the final velocity of block A

$v_A=3.83 m/s$

$v_B=0$ is the initial velocity of block B

Solving,

$v_B'-v_A'=e(v_A-v_B)=0.7(3.83)=2.68 m/s$

Re-arranging it,

$v_A'=v_B'-2.68$ (1)

Also, the total momentum must be conserved, so we can write:

$m_A v_A + m_B v_B = m_A v'_A + m_B v'_B$

where

$m_B=2 kg$

And substituting (1) and all the other values,

$m_A v_A = m_A (v_B'-2.68) + m_B v_B'\\v_B' = \frac{m_A v_A +2.68 m_A}{m_A + m_B}=1.30 m/s$

This is the velocity of block B after the collision. Then, its kinetic energy is converted into elastic potential energy of the spring when it comes to rest, according to

$\frac{1}{2}m_B v_B'^2 = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$

where

k = 600 N/m is the spring constant

x is the compression of the spring

And solving for x,

$x=\sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(2)(1.30)^2}{600}}=0.075 m$
