Physics
1 answer:
rewona [7]3 years ago
6 0

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.

a person hears an echo from the top of a tower , 2.2 second after the sound is produced.how far away is the tower from the perso
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

730.4 m

Explanation:

The sound waves travels with a uniform motion (=constant velocity), therefore we can calculate the distance it travels using the formula:

d=vt

where

d is the distance

v is the speed of the sound wave

t is the time taken

In this problem we have:

v = 332 m/s is the speed of sound in air

t = 2.2 s is the time elapsed

Therefore, the distance between the tower and the person is

d=(332)(2.2)=730.4 m

What is the motional kinetic energy of a 25 kg object moving at a speed of 10 m/s?
Soloha48 [4]

1250kgm²/s is the motional kinetic energy of a 25kg object moving at a speed of 10m/s

Kinetic energy of an object is defined as the energy which is possessed when that is  in motion. It is the energy of the kinetic mass of an object. Kinetic energy is never negative and is a scalar quantity. That is, it shows only size, not orientation.

Given to us

Mass of the object, m=25kg

Velocity of the object, v=10m/s  

K.E=1/2x25x10²

 =1250

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass and velocity squared (K.E.) of an object. =1/2xMxV². If the mass is in kilograms and the velocity is in meters/second, then the kinetic energy is in kilograms - meters squared/second.

Energy that vibrates electrons causing electricity
tresset_1 [31]
Answer: Electromagnetic waves are generated by moving electrons. An electron generates an electric field which we can visualize as lines radiating from the electron Figure 10a. If the electron moves, say it vibrates back and forth, then this motion will be transferred to the field lines and they will become wavy Figure 10b.

A circuit is built based on the circuit diagram shown. What is the current in the 50 Ω resistor
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

1.2 A

Explanation:

From the diagram attached, The three resistors are parallel because the each ends of the resistors are connected together. Since they are in parallel, the voltage across each resistor is the same. The voltage source connected in parallel to the resistors is 60 V. Therefore the voltage across the 50 Ω resistor is 60 V. Using ohm law:

Voltage (V) = Current (I) × Resistance (R)

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 60 V/ 50 Ω

I = 1.2 A

The current in the 50 Ω resistor is 1.2 A
