A wave has a wavelength of 3.0 m, a frequency of 25.0 Hz, and an amplitude of 14.0 cm. The wave travels in the positive x-direct

ion and has a displacement of zero at t = 0 and x = 0. How many complete oscillations has the wave made at t = 20.0 s and x = 4.2 m?

Answer:

The total number of oscillations made by the wave during the time of travel is 1.4 Oscillations. Strictly speaking, the number of complete oscillations is 1.

Explanation:

The required quantity is the number of complete oscillations made by the traveling wave. The amplitude time and frequency are not needed to calculate the number of oscillations as it is the ratio of the distance traveled to the wavelength( minimum distance that must be traveled to complete one oscillation) of the wave. So the total number of oscillations is 1.4 while the number of complete oscillations is 1 (strictly speaking). The detailed solution to this question can be found in the attachment below. Thank you!

Answer:

The  coefficient of kinetic friction  \mu_k =  0.724

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  length of the lane is  l =  36.0 \  m

    The speed of the truck is  v  =  22.6\  m/s

     

Generally from the work-energy theorem we have that  

    \Delta KE  =   N  *  \mu_k *  l

Here N  is the normal force acting on the truck which is mathematically represented as

     \Delta KE is the change in kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

        \Delta KE =  \frac{1}{2} *  m *  v^2

=>     \Delta KE =  0.5  *  m *  22.6^2

=>      \Delta KE =  255.38m

        255.38m =    m *  9.8  *  \mu_k *   36.0

=>     255.38  =    352.8  *  \mu_k

=>   \mu_k =  0.724

Assume a maximum stopping acceleration of g/2 where g is acceleration due to gravity.

Answer:

2.99 m/s

Explanation:

Stopping distance, s = 3 ft = 0.914 m

final velocity, v = 0

a = g/2 = 4.9 m/s²

Use third equation of motion:

v^2-u^2 = 2as

substitute the values to find the speed of train:

0 -u^2 = 2\times -4.9 \times 0.914 \\u^2=8.96 \\u=2.99 m/s

Explain why the atomic mass of an element is weighted average mass
madreJ [45]

Explanation:

The mass written on the periodic table is an average atomic mass taken from all known isotopes of an element. This average is a weighted average, meaning the isotope's relative abundance changes its impact on the final average. The reason this is done is because there is no set mass for an element.
