Answer:

<u>Amplitude - remains the same</u>

<u>Frequency - increases</u>

<u>Period - decreases</u>

<u>Velocity - remains the same.</u>

<u />

Explanation:

The amplitude of the wave remains the same since you are not changing the distance your hand moves and the amplitude of the wave depends on how much distance your hand covers while moving.

The frequency of your wave increases since now you are moving your hand more number of times in the same period i.e. your hand is moving faster in one second. So, the frequency of your wave increases.

The period is the time taken by the wave to travel a certain distance. Since your hand is now moving faster, the wave will travel faster and will take less time to cover the same distance hence, we can say that its period will decrease.

The velocity of a wave depends on the medium in which it is travelling. Your wave was previously travelling in air and the new wave is also travelling in the same medium so the velocity of the wave remains unchanged.

Stars are called blackbody radiators because they
scoundrel [369]
The answer is D) absorb most of the light that falls on them

A blackbody is an object that absorbs most (theoretically all) of the light that falls on it. Stars are called black bodies because they demonstrate something close to this property. Why do they appear white and not black? As black body radiators heat up, they slowly turn from black to grey to white, according to the human eye. Since stars are incredibly hot, they appear white to us.

A ball is suspended by a lightweight string, as shown in the figure above.
Irina18 [472]

<u>Answer </u>

A. 1 and 2

<u>Explanation </u>

At point 1 we have the highest potential energy and the kinetic energy is zero.

At 2 the potential energy is minimum and the kinetic energy is maximum.

The law of conservation of energy says that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. So, the change in P.E = Change in K.E.

P.E = height × gravity × mass. The height referred here is the perpendicular height. Gravity and mass are constant in this case.

From the diagram it can be seen clearly that the vertical height from 2 to 1 is much greater than from 4 to 3.

This shows that the change in P.E is greater between 1 and 2 and so is kinetic energy.

A 0.73-m aluminum bar is held with its length parallel to the east-west direction and dropped from a bridge. Just before the bar
Tasya [4]

Answer:

A)  B = 5.4 10⁻⁵ T, B) the positive side of the bar is to the West

Explanation:

A) For this exercise we must use the expression of Faraday's law for a moving body

            fem = -  \frac{d \phi }{dt}

            fem = - \frac{d (B l y}{dt}= - B l v- d (B l y) / dt = - B lv

            B = - \frac{fem}{l \ v}

we calculate

             B = - 7.9 10⁻⁴ /(0.73 20)

             B = 5.4 10⁻⁵ T

B) to determine which side of the bar is positive, we must use the right hand rule

the thumb points in the direction of the rod movement to the south, the magnetic field points in the horizontal direction and the rod is in the east-west direction.

Therefore the force points in the direction perpendicular to the velocity and the magnetic field is in the east direction; therefore the positive side of the bar is to the West

A 500-Ω resistor, an uncharged 1.50-μF capacitor, and a 6.16-V emf are connected in series. (a) What is the initial current? (b)
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

a) 0.01232 A

b) 0.00075 s = 0.75 ms

c) 0.0045323 A = 4.532 mA

d) 3.894 V

Explanation:

R = 500 Ω

V = 6.16 V

C = 1.50 μF

Let Vs be the voltage of the emf source

Let Vc be the voltage across the capacitor at any time

a) Current flows as a result of potential difference between two points. So, the current flows according to difference in voltage between the emf source and the capacitor.

At time t = 0,

There is no voltage on the capacitor; Vc = 0 V

Current in the circuit is given by

I = (Vs - Vc)/R

I = (6.16 - 0)/500

I = 0.01232 A

b) Time constant for an RC circuit is given by τ

τ = RC = (500) (1.5 × 10⁻⁶) = 0.00075 s

c) The current decay in an RC circuit (called decay because the current in the circuit starts to fall as the capacitor's voltage rises as the capacitor charges) is given by

I = I₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

where k = (1/τ)

I₀ = Current in the circuit at t = 0 s; I₀ = 0.01232 A

At t = τ = 0.00075 s, kt = (τ/τ) = 1

I = 0.01232 e⁻¹ = 0.0045323 A = 4.532 mA

d) The voltage for a charging capacitor is given by

Vc = Vs (1 - e⁻ᵏᵗ)

where k = (1/τ)

At t = τ = 0.00075 s, Vc = ?, Vs = 6.16 V, kt = 1

Vc = 6.16 (1 - e⁻¹) = 6.16 (0.6321)

Vc = 3.894 V
