A transverse wave is found to have a vertical distance of 4 cm from a trough to a crest, a frequency of 12 Hz, and a horizontal

distance of 5 cm from a crest to the nearest trough. Determine the amplitude, period, wavelength and speed of such a wave.

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

What is the acceleration of a proton moving with a speed of 6.5 m/s at right angles to a magnetic field of 1.5 T?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The acceleration of the proton is 9.353 x 10⁸ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the proton, u =  6.5 m/s

magnetic field strength, B = 1.5 T

The force of the proton is given by;

F = ma = qvB(sin90°)

ma = qvB

where;

m is mass of the proton, = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

charge of the proton, q = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

The acceleration of the proton is given by;

a = \frac{qvB}{m}\\\\a = \frac{(1.602*10^{-19})(6.5)(1.5)}{1.67*10^{-27}}\\\\a = 9.353*10^8 \ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the proton is 9.353 x 10⁸ m/s²

A car travelling at a constant speed of 70km/h passes a stationary police car. The police car immediately goes on the chase acce
Virty [35]

Answer:

18.24 seconds

Explanation:

First you convert the km/h to m/s, 70km/h=(175/9)m/s,85km/h=(425/18)m/s.

You know it took 10 seconds for the police to reach 85 km/h. Calculate the distance that the car is ahead of the police (175/9)*10=1750/9m. Then by divide 1750/9 with 425/18, you will get the value 8.24. Add the 10 seconds with the 8.24 you will get 18.24 sec which is the total time.

A person kicks a 4.0-kilogram door with a 48-newton force causing the door to accelerate at 12 meters per second squared. What i
inna [77]

Answer:

-48 N

Explanation:

mass of door (m) = 4 kg

acceleration of the door = 12 m/s^{2}

force exerted by the person = 48 N

From Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal but opposite. Therefore the force exerted on the door by the person which is 48 N will be the same as the force exerted on the person by the door but opposite in its direction, and this would be - 48 N

What net force would be necessary to cause a block of wood with a mass of 2.5 kg to accelerate at a rate of 3.0 m/s2
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

<h2>7.5 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question

mass = 2.5 kg

acceleration = 3.0 m/s²

We have

force = 2.5 × 3.0 = 7.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>7.5 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
