Answer:

For longitudinal waves, amplitude is the distance from rest to crest.

Explanation:

Longitudinal Waves.

In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.

longitudinal waves properties includes wavelength, amplitude, period, frequency and wave speed. However instead of peaks and troughs, longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions.

The amplitude of a wave refers to the maximum amount of displacement of a particle on the medium from its rest position. In a sense, the amplitude is the distance from rest to crest. Similarly, the amplitude can be measured from the rest position to the trough position.

For longitudinal waves, amplitude is the distance from rest to crest.

An airplane in a holding pattern flies at constant altitude along a circular path of radius 3.38 km. If the airplane rounds half
Andrej [43]

Answer:

a) 6076 m

b) 43.33 m/s

c) 68 m/s

Explanation:

(a) If the airplane rounds half the circle in 156s, its displacement is the circle diameter in 156s, or twice the circle's radius

s = 2r = 2* 3.38km = 6.76 km or 6760 m

(b) The average velocity would be displacement over unit of time

v = s/t = 6760 / 156 = 43.33 m/s

(c) The length of the chord it's swept in 156s is half of the circle perimeter

c = πr = π3.38 = 10.62 km or 10620 m

The airplane average speed is its chord length over a unit of time

c / t = c / 156 = 68 m/s

The height a ball bounces is less than the height of the previous bounce due to friction. The heights of the bounces form a geom
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the first height be h . second height .75h

third height .75h . fourth height .75²h

fifth height .75²h , sixthth height .75³ and so on

Total distance consists of two geometric series as follows

1 ) first series

h + .75h + .75²h + .75³h......

2 )  second series

.75h +.75²h +.75³h + .75⁴h .......

Sum of first series :

first term a = h , commom ratio r = .75

sum = a / (1 - r )

= h / 1 - .75

= h / .25

4h

sum of second series :--

first term a = .75 h , commom ratio r = .75

sum = a / (1 - r )

= .75h / 1 - .75

= .75h / .25

3h

Total of both the series

= 4h + 3h

= 7h .

h = 1 m

Total distance = 7 m

hjlf

Answer:

Sam is providing the biggest power i.e. 50 W

Explanation:

Sam is moving house and is carrying a 300N box of books up a flight of steps 5m high, it takes her 30 seconds.

Sam's power :

P_1=\dfrac{W_1}{t_1}\\\\P_1=\dfrac{F_1d}{t_1}\\\\P_1=\dfrac{300\times 5}{30}\\\\P_1=50\ W

Gary follows her carrying a bag of clothes doing 1000 J of work; it only takes him 25 seconds.

Gary's power :

P_2=\dfrac{W_2}{t_2}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{1000}{25}\\\\P_2=40\ W

So, it is clear that Sam is providing the biggest power.
