Answer:

v = 1.6 \frac{m}{s} *\frac{100cm}{1m}= 160 \frac{cm}{s}

Explanation:

If we have a periodic wave we need to satisfy the following basic relationship:

v = \lambda f

From the last formula we see that the velocity is proportional fo the frequency.

For this case we have the following info given by the problem:

T= 0.2 s, \lambda =32 cm* \frac{1m}{100cm} =0.32 m, A= 3cm*\frac{1m}{100 cm}=0.03 m

We know that the frequency is the reciprocal of the period so we have this formula:

f = \frac{1}{T}

And if we replace we got:

f =\frac{1}{0.2 s}= 5Hz

Now since we have the value for the wavelength we can find the velocity like this:

v = 0.32 m * 5Hz = 1.6 \frac{m}{s}

And if we convert this into cm/s we got:

v = 1.6 \frac{m}{s} *\frac{100cm}{1m}= 160 \frac{cm}{s}

Two forces act on an object. The first force has a magnitude of 17.0 N and is oriented 48.0° counterclockwise from the x ‑axis,
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Fn: magnitude of the net force.

Fn=30.11N , oriented 75.3 ° clockwise from the -x axis

Explanation:

Components on the x-y axes of the 17 N force(F₁)

F₁x=17*cos48°= 11.38N

F₁y=17*sin48° = 12.63 N

Components on the x-y axes of the  the second force(F₂)

F₂x= −19.0 N

F₂y=   16.5 N

Components on the x-y axes of the net force (Fn)

Fnx= F₁x +F₂x= 11.38N−19.0 N= -7.62 N

Fny= F₁y +F₂y= 12.63 N +16.5 N = 29.13 N

Magnitude of the net force.

F_{n} =\sqrt{(F_{nx})^{2} +(F_{ny}) ^{2} }

F_{n} =\sqrt{(-7.62)^{2} +(29.13) ^{2} }

F_{n} = 30.11N

Direction of the net force (β)

\beta =tan^{-1} (\frac{29.13}{7.62} )

β=75.3°

Magnitude and direction of the net force

Fn= 30.11N , oriented 75.3 ° clockwise from the -x axis

In the attached graph we can observe the magnitude and direction of the net force

If a girl is standing still and holding a box, is she doing any work? Why or why not?
sukhopar [10]
I beleive she isnt doing any work due to holding the box motionless, you must be exerting a force in the direction of the box motion. If she is just standing there holding the box their isn't no work becuase no distance has been covered. work = force = distance.

The kitchen in your house measures 10 ft by 10 ft. You need to have 50 footcandles of illumination in the room. How many 60 watt
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

<u>6 bulbs</u> are needed to illuminate the room.

Explanation:

Given:

Measurement of kitchen (A) = 10 ft by 10 ft = 100 sq. ft

Number of footcandles (n) = 50

Lumens emitted by 1 bulb = 834

Number of bulbs (N) = ?

We are also given,

1 foot candle = 1 lumen/sq. ft

So, 50 foot candles = 50 lumens/sq. ft

Now, for an area of 1 sq. ft 50 lumens are emitted.

So, for an area of 100 sq. ft, lumens emitted = 50 × 100 = 5000 lumens

Now, one bulb emits = 834 lumes

Therefore, number of bulbs required for emitting 5000 lumens is given as:

N=\frac{Number\ of\ lumens}{Number\ of\ lumens\ by\ 1\ bulb}\\\\N=\frac{5000}{834}=5.995\approx6

So, 6 bulbs are needed to illuminate the room.

4 applications of elasticity​
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

elasticity

1.price elasticity of demand

2.income elasticity of demand

3.cross elasticity of demand

4.elasticity of supply

Explanation:

1. price elasticity of demand is the degree to which the effective desire for something changes as its price changes. In general, people desire things less as those things become more expensive.

2. income elasticity of demand is the responsiveness of the quantity demanded for a good to a change in consumer income. It is measured as the ratio of the percentage change in quantity demanded to the percentage change in income.

3. cross elasticity of demand or cross-price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of the quantity demanded for a good to a change in the price of another good, ceteris paribus.

4.price elasticity of supply is a measure used in economics to show the responsiveness, or elasticity, of the quantity supplied of a good or service to a change in its price.
