You are still breaking it down physically, but you need your stomach acid to break down the food, chemically.

It is both.

<span>It is a physical change because when you chew your food you break it up into smaller pieces and are therefore changing its size and shape which are physical changes. </span>

<span>However, digestion begins in the mouth. When we chew our food, it mixes with enzymes from our saliva and begins to break down the food. Digestion is a chemical change.</span>

A certain electromagnetic wave traveling in seawater was observed to have an amplitude of 98.02 (V/m) at a depth of 10 m, and an

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The value is $\alpha = 0.002 Np/m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first amplitude of the wave is $E_{max}1 = 98.02 \ V/m$

The first depth is $D_1 = 10 \ m$

The second amplitude is $E_{max}2 = 81.87 \ (V/m)$

The second depth is $D_2 = 100 \ m$

Generally from the spatial wave equation we have

$v(x) = Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x + \phi_o)$

=> $\frac{v(x)}{v(x)} =\frac{ Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x + \phi_o)}{ Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x + \phi_o)}$

So considering the ratio of the equation for the two depth

$\frac{A}{A_S} = \frac{e^{-D_1 \alpha }}{e^{-D_2 \alpha }}$

=> $\frac{98.02}{81.87} = \frac{e^{-10 \alpha }}{e^{-100 \alpha }}$

=> $\alpha = \frac{0.18}{90}$

=> $\alpha = 0.002 Np/m$

This is physics 11th grade and a homework question I don’t understand how to do this or what the question is asking me

Alexxx [7]

a) Frequency is the number of complete oscillations per second. Looking at the graph, there are 9 complete oscillations in 5 seconds. Thus,

Frequency = 9/5 = 1.8 oscillations per second

Frequency = 1.8 Hz

Period = 1/frequency = 1/1.8

Period = 0.056 s

b) When we differenctiate displacement with respect to time, the result is velocity.

Recall, period = 1/f = 5/9 cycles

1/4 cycle behind = 1/4 x 5/9 = 5/36

It is delayed with 5/36 sec with respect to displacement.

5/36 sec = 0.139 sec

Acceleration = first derivative of velocity = second derivative of displacement = 1/4 cycle behind velocity = 1/2 cycle behind displacement =

5/36 = 0.139 sec delayed with respect to velocity

= 5/18 = 0.2777 secs delayed with respect to displacement

Thus, the number of seconds out of phase with the displacements is 0.278 seconds

c) The formula for calculating the period of an ideal pendulum anywhere is

T = 2π√length/local gravity). We would calculate the local gravity.

From the information given,

length = 0.2

T = P = 5/9

Thus,

5/9 = 2π√0.2/local gravity)

(5/9)/2π = √0.2/local gravity

Square both sides. It becomes

[(5/9)/2π]^2 = 0.2/local gravity

local gravity = 0.2/[(5/9)/2π]^2

local gravity = 25.56 m/s^2

Thus,

acceleration due to gravity = 25.56 m/s^2

Recall, earth's gravity = 9.8 m/s^2

number of g forces = 25.56/9.8

number of g forces = 2.61

The altitude of the International Space Station ttt minutes after its perigee (closest point), in kilometers, is given by \qquad

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

T = 92.8 min

Explanation:

Given:

The altitude of the International Space Station t minutes after its perigee (closest point), in kilometers, is given by:

$A(t) = 415 - sin(\frac{2*\pi (t+23.2)}{92.8})$

Find:

- How long does the International Space Station take to orbit the earth? Give an exact answer.

Solution:

- Using the the expression given we can extract the angular speed of the International Space Station orbit:

$A(t) = 415 - sin({\frac{2*\pi*t }{92.8} + \frac{23.2*2*\pi }{92.8} )$

- Where the coefficient of t is angular speed of orbit w = 2*p / 92.8

- We know that the relation between angular speed w and time period T of an orbit is related by:

T = 2*p / w

T = 2*p / (2*p / 92.8)

Hence, T = 92.8 min
