After watching a news story about a fire in a high rise apartment building, you and friend decide to design an emergency escape

device from the top of a building. To avoid engine failure, your friend suggest a gravitational powered elevator. The design has a large, heavy turntable (a horizontal disk that is free to rotate about its center) on teh roof with a cable wound around its edge. The free end of the cable goes horizontally to the edge of the building roof, pases over a heavy vertical pulley, and then hangs straight down. A strong wire cage which can hold 5 people is then attached to the hanging end of the cable. When people enter the cage adn release it, the cable unrolls from the turntable lowering the people as safely to the ground. to see if the design is feasible you decide to calculate the acceleration of the fully loaded elevator to make sure it is much less than g. Your friend design has the radius of the turntable disk as 1.5 m and its mass as 2x that of the fully loaded elevator. The disk which serves as the vertical pulley has 1/4 the radius of the turntable and 1/16 its mass. In your physics book you find that the moment of inertia if a disk is 1/2 that of a ring.

A pure sound wave, generated by a tuning fork, is considered a periodic wave. Which statement is true for this tuning fork sound
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer : Every wave has the same wave pattern.

Explanation : A pure sound wave has a single frequency and its generated by a tuning fork . The sound wave is a  simple periodic wave.

When an object such as a guitar push and pull on the around it. When it pushes on the air, then the pressure increases and when it pull on the air,  then the pressure decreases and sound waves are formed.

Hence, sound wave has the same wave pattern.

Suppose you have a Frisbee with a mass of 0.10 kg. You first throw it with a force of 5N and then change the force you throw it
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The acceleration increases.

Explanation:

From Newton's 2nd Law, we have \Sigma F=ma. We can see that force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration. Therefore, as force increases, either mass or acceleration must increase as well, and vice versa. Since mass is maintained here, if you increase the force applied to the Frisbee, the acceleration will increase as well.

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS :) What does it mean when white light is diffracted and at a particular location the color seen is bl
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

This is because white light consists of 7 colours with different angles o deviation or retraction.

Explanation:

When a narrow beam of light is refracted by a prism the light spreads into a band of colours (called the spectrum of light )

But in this case if a blue colour is observed it is due to the angle of refraction ,for instance red is refracted the least and hence is seen
