Ike is at the beach watching the waves in the ocean. Ike notices that some of the waves are short. Other waves are very tall and come up high above the water. Two waves that are different heights because They have different amplitudes.

Answer: Option (D) is correct

Explanation:

The different heights of the waves are due to their different amplitudes. The Amplitude of a particular wave depends upon the amount of energy being carried by waves. It the waves carry more energy than their amplitude will be higher.

But if energy carried by a wave is less than the wave will have a low amplitude. The Amplitude shows the distance covered from the rest position to peak position.

Answer:

Approximately 8.4 \times 10^{2}\; \rm N, assuming that g = 9.8\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.

Explanation:

Let m and a denote the mass and acceleration of Spiderman, respectively.

There are two forces on Spiderman:

  • Downward gravitational attraction from the earth: W = m \cdot g.
  • Upward tension force from the strand of web F(\text{tension}).

The directions of these two forces are exactly opposite of one another. Besides, because Spiderman is accelerating upwards, the magnitude of F(\text{tension}) (which points upwards) should be greater than that of W (which points downwards towards the ground.)

Subtract the smaller force from the larger one to find the net force on Spiderman:

(\text{Net Force}) = F(\text{tension}) - W.

On the other hand, apply Newton's Second Law of motion to find the value of the net force on Spiderman:

(\text{Net Force}) = m \cdot a.

Combine these two equations to get:

m \cdot a = (\text{Net Force}) = F(\text{tension}) - W.

Therefore:

\begin{aligned}& F(\text{tension})\\ &= m \cdot a + W \\ &= m \cdot (a + g)\\ &= 76\; \rm kg \times \left(1.3\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} + 9.8\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\right)\\ &\approx 8.4\times 10^{2}\; \rm N\end{aligned}.

By Newton's Third Law of motion, Spiderman would exert a force of the same size on the strand of web. Hence, the size of the force in the strand of the web should be approximately 8.4\times 10^{2}\; \rm N (downwards.)

What is kinetic energy and what is net force formula
Over [174]

Answer:

Here's the equation for net force: F = ma. The work done on the plane, which becomes its kinetic energy, equals the following: Net force F equals mass times acceleration. Assume that you're pushing in the same direction that the plane is going; in this case, cos 0 degrees = 1, so.

Explanation:

In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes

Hope this help also looking it up helps ;)

49. \ A rectangular plate is rotating with a constant angular speed about an axis that passes perpendicularly through one corner
faust18 [17]

Answer:

    \frac{L_1}{L_2} = \sqrt{(n^2 - 1)}

Explanation:

For this interesting problem, we use the definition of centripetal acceleration  

      a = v² / r  

angular and linear velocity are related  

     v = w r  

we substitute  

    a = w² r

the rectangular body rotates at an angular velocity w  

We locate the points, unfortunately the diagram is not shown. In this case we have the axis of rotation in a corner, called O, in one of the adjacent corners we call it A and the opposite corner A  

the distance OB = L₂  

the distance AB = L₁

the sides of the rectangle  

It is indicated that the acceleration in in A and B are related  

      a_A = n \ a_B  

we substitute the value of the acceleration  

    w² r_A = n r_B  

the distance from the each corner is  

    r_B = L₂  

    r_A = \sqrt{L_1^2 + L_2^2}  

we substitute  

   \sqrt{L_1^2 + L_2^2} = n L₂  

    L₁² + L₂² = n² L₂²  

    L₁² = (n²-1) L₂²

The human ear canal is about 2.9 cm long and can be regarded as a tube open at one end and closed at the eardrum. What is the fu
solniwko [45]

The frequency of the human ear canal is 2.92 kHz.

Explanation:

As the ear canal is like a tube with open at one end, the wavelength of sound passing through this tube will propagate 4 times its length of the tube. So wavelength of the sound wave will be equal to four times the length of the tube. Then the frequency can be easily determined by finding the ratio of velocity of sound to wavelength. As the velocity of sound is given as 339 m/s, then the wavelength of the sound wave propagating through the ear canal is  

Wavelength=4*Length of the ear canal

As length of the ear canal is given as 2.9 cm, it should be converted into meter as follows:

wavelength = 4*2.9*10^{-2} =0.116

Then the frequency is determined as

f=c/λ=339/0.116=2922 Hz=2.92 kHz.

So, the frequency of the human ear canal is 2.92 kHz.

How does Physics help you as a student?
Sonja [21]

Answer:

The goal of physics is to understand how things work from first principles. ... Courses in physics reveal the mathematical beauty of the universe at scales ranging from subatomic to cosmological. Studying physics strengthens quantitative reasoning and problem solving skills that are valuable in areas beyond physics
