Answer:

C. The particles in longitudinal waves travel parallel to the direction of the wave, whereas the particles in transverse waves travel perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

Explanation:

Longitudinal waves are waves that propagates energy from their source by movement of particles in a direction parallel to the wave motion.

Transverse waves produce oscillations that are perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

  • Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves, seismic p-waves
  • Examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves

A wave is a disturbance that transmits energy from one point to another.

An object oscillates with an angular frequency of 8.0 rad/s. At t = 0, the object is at x0 = 4 cm with an initial velocity v0 =
KatRina [158]

Answer:

\phi = 0.66 rad

A = 5.06 cm

Explanation:

We have here a simple harmonic motion, so the equation of the position in this motion is:  

x(t)=Acos(\omega t+\phi) (1)

A: Amplitude

ω: angular frequency

φ: phase constant

If we take the derivative of x with respect to t from (1), we can find the velocity equation of this motion:

v(t)=\frac{dx(t)}{dt}=-A\omega sin(\omega t+\phi) (2)

Let's evaluate (1) and (2) in t=0.

x(0)=Acos(\phi) (3)

v(0)=-A\omega sin(\phi) (4)

Dividing 4 by 3 we have:

\frac{v(0)}{x(0)}=-\omega tan(\phi)

\phi = tan^{-1}(\frac{-v(0)}{\omega x(0)})

\phi = 0.66 rad

Now, using (3) we can find the amplitude.

A = \frac{x(0)}{cos(\phi)} = 5.06 cm

I hope it helps!

You jump off a truck and accelerate toward the surface of the Earth. Does the Earth accelerate toward you?
Triss [41]

When we jump from the truck and accelerate towards the earth surface, the earth also accelerates towards us but it's acceleration is very negligible.

To find the answer, we need to know about the acceleration of earth due to the gravitational attraction.

<h3>What's the gravitational force between the earth and a person?</h3>
  • Gravitational attraction force is GMm/r² between the earth and a person.
  • M= mass of the earth

m= mass of the person

r= separation between them.

<h3>What's the acceleration of the earth towards the person when he jumps from a truck?</h3>
  • According to Newton's second law, Force = M×acceleration
  • Acceleration= Force / M
  • Here, Force = GMm/r²,

so acceleration of earth= Gm/r²

  • As this acceleration is very small, so we can't notice it.

Thus, we can conclude that the earth also accelerates towards us.
