Answer:

A: the full height of a wave

Explanation:

Amplitude of wave is defined as the maximum displacement of wave from it's mean position.

So here when we draw the wave shape then the maximum displacement of wave will be the height of wave which we can draw here as amplitude

mean position is defined as the middle of the wave at which we can say that its net force will be zero and all particles will be at mid point at that.

so we can find the distance of mid point and maximum distance from that which is known as amplitude

The amplitude of the wave is the 'full height of the wave.' Amplitude is measured in m (meters) and is measured over the change of a single period.

A mass m is attached to an ideal massless spring with spring constant k. In experiment 1 the mass oscillates with amplitude a, a

Trava [24]

Time period remains the same in both the experiment as change in amplitude does not affect time period.

What are the factors on which time period depends in SHM?

Time period is given by:

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

where,

T = time period

m = mass

k = spring constant

In a straightforward harmonic motion, we see from the preceding formula that the time period depends only on the object's mass and spring constant (SHM). The time period will adjust to any variations in the object's mass or the spring constant.

What is Spring Constant?

A spring's "spring constant" is a property that quantifies the relationship between the force acting on the spring and the displacement it produces. In other words, it characterises a spring's stiffness and the extent of its range of motion.

If it takes a planet 2.8 × 108 s to orbit a star with a mass of 6.2 × 1030 kg, what is the average distance between the planet a

Levart [38]

Answer:

9.36*10^11 m

Explanation

Orbital velocity v=√{(G*M)/R},

G = gravitational constant =6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²,

M = mass of the star

R =distance from the planet to the star.

v=ωR, with ω as the angular velocity and R the radius

ωR=√{(G*M)/R},

ω=2π/T,

T = orbital period of the planet

To get R we write the formula by making R the subject of the equation

(2π/T)*R=√{(G*M)/R}

{(2π/T)*R}²=[√{(G*M)/R}]²,

(4π²/T²)*R²=(G*M)/R,

(4π²/T²)*R³=G*M,

R³=(G*M*T²)/4π²,

R=∛{(G*M*T²)/4π²},

Substitute values

R=9.36*10^11 m

awhite billiard ball with mass mw = 1.47 kg is moving directly to the right with a speed of v = 3.01 m/s and collides elasticall

pochemuha

Answer:

speed of white ball is 1.13 m/s and speed of black ball is 2.78 m/s

initial kinetic energy = final kinetic energy

$KE = 6.66 J$

Explanation:

Since there is no external force on the system of two balls so here total momentum of two balls initially must be equal to the total momentum of two balls after collision

So we will have

momentum conservation along x direction

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1x} + m_2v_{2x}$

now plug in all values in it

$1.47 \times 3.01 + 0 = 1.47 v_1cos68 + 1.47 v_2cos22$

so we have

$3.01 = 0.375v_1 + 0.927v_2$

similarly in Y direction we have

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1y} + m_2v_{2y}$

now plug in all values in it

$0 + 0 = 1.47 v_1sin68 - 1.47 v_2sin22$

so we have

$0 = 0.927v_1 - 0.375v_2$

$v_2 = 2.47 v_1$

now from 1st equation we have

$3.01 = 0.375 v_1 + 0.927(2.47 v_1)$

$v_1 = 1.13 m/s$

$v_2 = 2.78 m/s$

so speed of white ball is 1.13 m/s and speed of black ball is 2.78 m/s

Also we know that since this is an elastic collision so here kinetic energy is always conserved to

initial kinetic energy = final kinetic energy

$KE = \frac{1}{2}(1.47)(3.01^2)$

$KE = 6.66 J$

Why would a red apple appear black if you looked at it through a blue filter?

<span>Because the reflected red light from the apple will not pass through the blue filter and since no light gets through it will appear black.</span>
