Answer:wave travel

Explanation:Because gravity pulls the water in the crest downward .Forced out from beneath the falling crests ,the falling water pushes former troughs upwards and the wave moves to a new position causing a disturbance.

A 310-g air track cart is traveling at 1.25 m/s and a 260-g cart traveling in the opposite direction at 1.33 m/s. What is the sp

UNO [17]

Answer:

$v_{CM}=0.0732\ m/s$

Explanation:

given,

mass of the cart 1, m₁ = 310 g

speed of car 1 , v₁ = 1.25 m/s

mass of cart 2, m₂ = 260 g

speed of cart 2, v₂ = -1.33 m/s

speed of center of mass

$v_{CM}=\dfrac{m_1v_1 + m_2 v_2}{m_1 + m_2}$

$v_{CM}=\dfrac{0.31\times 1.25 +0.26\times (-1.33)}{0.31+0.26}$

$v_{CM}=\dfrac{0.0417}{0.57}$

$v_{CM}=0.0732\ m/s$

Hence, speed of center of mass of the system is equal to 0.0732 m/s

A wave is incident on the surface of a mirror at an angle of 41° with the normal. what can you say about its angle of reflection

Umnica [9.8K]

It's angle of reflection must be 41 degrees

we know, by the first law of reflection that angle of incidence is always equal to angle of reflection..........

A parallel-plate air capacitor is made from two plates 0.190 m square, spaced 0.770 cm apart. It is connected to a 120 V battery

Naddik [55]

Answer:

aaksj

Explanation:

a) the capacitance is given of a plate capacitor is given by:

C = \epsilon_0*(A/d)

Where \epsilon_0 is a constant that represents the insulator between the plates (in this case air, \epsilon_0 = 8.84*10^(-12) F/m), A is the plate's area and d is the distance between the plates. So we have:

The plates are squares so their area is given by:

A = L^2 = 0.19^2 = 0.0361 m^2

C = 8.84*10^(-12)*(0.0361/0.0077) = 8.84*10^(-12) * 4.6883 = 41.444*10^(-12) F

b) The charge on the plates is given by the product of the capacitance by the voltage applied to it:

Q = C*V = 41.444*10^(-12)*120 = 4973.361 * 10^(-12) C = 4.973 * 10^(-9) C

c) The electric field on a capacitor is given by:

E = Q/(A*\epsilon_0) = [4.973*10^(-9)]/[0.0361*8.84*10^(-12)]

E = [4.973*10^(-9)]/[0.3191*10^(-12)] = 15.58*10^(3) V/m

d) The energy stored on the capacitor is given by:

W = 0.5*(C*V^2) = 0.5*[41.444*10^(-12) * (120)^2] = 298396.8*10^(-12) = 0.298 * 10 ^6 J

Find the height or length of these natural wonders in km, m, and cm.A. A cave system with a mapped length of 354 miles.B. A wate

cricket20 [7]

Explanation:

Some standard unit conversion are 1 mile = 1.609344 km, 1 ft.= 30.48 cm,

1 km= 1000 m or 1 m = 0.001 km and 1 m= 100 cm or 1 cm=0.01 m.

Now, use these values to convert the given lengths.

A. length of cave = 5 miles (given)

From standard value 1 mile = 1.609344 km

$\Rightarrow$ 5 miles = $\times$ 1.609344 km= 8.04672 km,

$\Rightarrow$ 5 miles =8.04672 $\times$ 1000 m= 8046.72 m [ as 1 km = 1000 m]

$\Rightarrow$ 5 miles = 8046.72 $\times$ 100 cm=804672 cm

B. Height of the waterfall = 1235 ft. (given)

1 ft.= 30.48 cm [ from standard value]

$\Rightarrow$ 1235.2 ft.= 1235.2 $\times$ 30.48 cm=37648.896 cm,

$\Rightarrow$ 1235.2 ft.=37648.896 $\times$ 0.01 m =376.48896 m [ as 1 cm = 0.01 m]

$\Rightarrow$ 1235.2 ft.=376.48896 $\times$ 0.001 km =0.37648896 km [ as 1 m = 0.001 km]

C. Height of the mountain= 21320 ft. (given)

From standard value: 1 ft.= 30.48 cm

$\Rightarrow$ 21320 ft.= 21320 $\times$ 30.48 cm=649833.6 cm,

$\Rightarrow$ 21320 ft.=649833.6 $\times$ 0.01 m =6498.336 m [ as 1 cm = 0.01 m]

$\Rightarrow$ 21320 ft.=6498.336 $\times$ 0.001 km =6.498336 km [ as 1 m = 0.001 km].

D. Depth of canyon =6630 ft.

From standard value: 1 ft.= 30.48 cm

$\Rightarrow$ 6630 ft.= 6630 $\times$ 30.48 cm=202082.4 cm,

$\Rightarrow$ 6630 ft.=202082.4 $\times$ 0.01 m =2020.824 m [ as 1 cm = 0.01 m]

$\Rightarrow$ 6630 ft.=2020.824 $\times$ 0.001 km =2.020824 km [ as 1 m = 0.001 km].
