Answer:

Amplitude: 2cm

Period: 1/12 s

Wavelength: 10 cm

Speed: 120 cm/s

Explanation:

The amplitud is the vertical distance from the resting position to the crest or to the trough, and the vertical distance from a crest to a trough is two times the amplitude. Therefore the amplitud (A) is:

A= 4cm/2= 2cm

The period (T) is:

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{12} s

The wavelength is defined as the horizontal distance from a crest to the nearest crest or from a trough to the nearest trough. The distance from a crest to the nearest tough was given. Therefore two times that distance is the distance from a crest to the nearest crest.

The wavelenght (λ) is:

λ=(2)(5)=10cm

The speed (v) in a wave is given by:

v = λf

v=(10)(12)=120 cm/s

Gemiola [76]

Answer: The density of glycerine will be 0.028lbm/foot^3

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}

Given:

Density of glycerine= 1.26\times 10^3kg/m^3

1 lbm = 0.454 kg

1 kg =\frac{1}{0.454}=2.2lbm

Thus 0.454kg=\frac{2.2}{1}\times 0.454=0.99

Also 1m^3=35.3147foot^3

Putting in the values we get:

Density=\frac{0.99lbm}{35.3147}=0.028lbm/foot^3

Thus density of glycerine will be 0.028lbm/foot^3

a group of students working in a high school chemistry lab believe they have discovered a new element! how exciting! upon furthe
maw [93]

Explanation:

From the experiment:

      Number of protons  = 74

      Number of neutrons  = 110

Number of protons in an element is the atomic number of the element. It is used to locate and position and element on the periodic table.

For a neutral or uncharged atom, the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons.

The element whose number of protons or atomic number if 74 is Tungsten

  Mass number  = 74 + 110  = 184g/mol

A bicycle has a momentum of 50.00 kg·m/s and a velocity of 5.0 m/s. What is the bicycle’s mass?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

10 kilograms

Explanation:

The formula for mass

mass (kg)= momentum ( p) divided by velocity (v)

therefore this translates to 50 divided by 5

which gives the final answer as <u>10kgs</u>
