Answer: The correct word for the blank is 'oscillates'

" a mechanical wave is created when a medium oscillates , or moves back and forth or up and down

Explanation:

When the matter oscillates or vibrates it transfers energy through the medium in the form of wave which termed s mechanical wave.For example: Sound wave,slinky waves, water waves are the examples of mechanical waves.

So, " a mechanical wave is created when a medium oscillates , or moves back and forth or up and down

Determine the maximum theoretical speed that may be achieved over a distance of 66 m by a car starting from rest, knowing that t

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

v=32.49 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Distance ,d= 66 m

Initial speed of the car ,u = 0 m/s

Coefficient of friction ,μ = 0.8

Lets take the total mass of the car = m

The acceleration of the car is given as

a = μ g ( g= 10 m/s² )

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

a= 0.8 x 10 m/s²

a= 8 m/s²

We know that ,final speed is given as

v²= u ²+ 2 a d

Now putting the value

v²=0² + 2 x 8 x 66

v²= 1056

v=32.49 m/s

a baseball is pitched with a speed of 35.0m/s. how long does it take the ball to travel 18.4 m from the pitchers mound to home p

Vlad [161]

Given the speed and the distance, to find time you can use the formula speed is equal to distance over time. From there you can manipulate the equation for time to equal the distance divided by speed. Time is equal to 18.4 meters divided by 35m/s which equals 0.526 seconds.

A car is driving away from a crosswalk. The formula d = t 2 + 2 t expresses the car's distance from the crosswalk in feet, d , i

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

1) No, the car does not travel at constant speed.

2) V = 9 ft/s

3) No, the car does not travel at constant speed.

4) V = 5.9 ft/s

Explanation:

In order to know if the car is traveling at constant speed we need to derive the given formula. That way we get speed as a function of time:

V(t) = 2*t + 2 Since the speed depends on time, the speed is not constant at any time.

For the average speed we evaluate the formula for t=2 and t=5:

d(2) = 8 ft and d(5) = 35 ft

$V_{2-5}=\frac{d(5)-d(2)}{5-2}=9 ft/s$

Again, for the average speed we evaluate the formula for t=1.8 and t=2.1:

d(1.8) = 6.84 ft and d(2.1) = 8.61 ft

$V_{1.8-2.1}=\frac{d(2.1)-d(1.8)}{2.1-1.8}=5.9 ft/s$

At an amusement park, a 7.00 kg swimmer uses a water slide to enter the main pool. The swimmer starts at rest, slides without fr

telo118 [61]

Answer:

27.44 J

Explanation:

We can find the energy at the top of the slide by using the potential energy equation:

PE = mgh

At the top of the slide, the swimmer has 0 kinetic energy and maximum potential energy.

The swimmer's mass is given as 7.00 kg.

The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s².

The (vertical) height of the water slide is 0.40 m.

Substitute these values into the potential energy equation:

PE = (7.00)(9.8)(0.40)
PE = 27.44

Since there is 0 kinetic energy at the top of the slide, the total energy present is the swimmer's potential energy.

Therefore, the answer is 27.44 J of energy when the swimmer is at the top of the slide.
