If a water wave completes one cycle in 2 seconds, what is the period of the wave?

2 answers:

8 0

The definition of the period of a wave is the time that it takes for the wave to complete one cycle. As stated in the problem, the certain water wave completes one cycle in 2 seconds. From this information alone, we can conclude that the period of the wave is indeed, 2 seconds.

a fan acquires a speed of 180 rpm in 4s, starting from rest. calculate the speed of the fan at the end of the 5th second startin

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

225 rpm

Explanation:

The angular acceleration of the fan is given by:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}$

where

$\omega_f$ is the final angular speed

$\omega_i$ is the initial angular speed

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

For the fan in this problem,

$\omega_i = 0\\\omega_f = 180 rpm\\\Delta t=4 s$

Substituting,

$\alpha = \frac{180-0}{4}=45 rpm/s$

Now we can find the angular speed of the fan at the end of the 5th second, so after t = 5 s. It is given by:

$\omega' = \omega_i + \alpha t$

where

$\omega_i = 0\\\alpha = 45 rpm/s\\t = 5 s$

Substituting,

$\omega' = 0 + (45)(5)=225 rpm$

A glass bottle of soda is sealed with a screw cap. The absolute pressure of the carbon dioxide inside the bottle is 1.50 x 105 P

MArishka [77]

Answer:

$F \approx 19.5 N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Pressure of $P_{CO_2}=1.50 * 105 Pa.$

Bottle cap area $A_b= 4.40 * 10-4 m^2$

Generally the equation for Resultant pressure $P_r$ is give as is mathematically given by

$P_r=P_{CO_2}-P_a$

Where

$P_a=atmospheric\ pressure = 1.013*10^5 pa$

$P_r=1.50 * 105 Pa-1.013*10^5 pa$

$P_r=0.487*10^5 pa$

Generally the equation for Force exerted by screw F is give as is mathematically given by

$F = P*A\\F = 0.487*10^5*4.00*10^-4\\ F = 19.48 N$

$F \approx 19.5 N$

Why is the top of a wave called a crest

Molodets [167]

Answer: A crest is the highest point the medium rises to and a trough is the lowest point the medium sinks to. It is also a point on the wave where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum.

Sound waves that enter the external acoustic meatus eventually encounter the __________, which then vibrates at the same frequen

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

tympanic membrane (eardrum)

Explanation:

The sound waves spread through the air and reach the outer ear, into which they penetrate through the ear canal. In doing so, they stimulate the eardrum, which closes the inner end of the duct. By vibrating this membrane, the vibration of a chain of ossicles located in the middle ear is induced. These ossicles transmit their vibration to the oval window, which is a membranous structure that communicates the middle ear with the cochlea of the inner ear. When the oval membrane moves, it moves the liquid (perilymph) that fills one of the three cavities of the cochlea generating waves in it. These waves mechanically stimulate the sensory cells (hair cells) located in the organ of Corti, within the cochlea in the central cavity, the middle ramp. This cavity is filled with a liquid rich in K +, endolymph. The cells embedded in the endolymph, change their permeability to K + due to the movement of the cilia and respond by releasing a neurotransmitter that excites the nerve terminals, which initiate the auditory sensory pathway.
