Alternating compressions and rarefactions produce a wave. One compression and one rarefaction is called a wavelength.

Compression happens when molecules are forced, or pressed, together. Rarefaction occurs when molecules are given extra space and allowed to expand.

A car is traveling at a velocity of 22 m/s when the driver puts on the brakes

Brums [2.3K]

The car’s velocity at the end of this distance is 18.17 m/s.

Given the following data:

Initial velocity, U = 22 m/s

Deceleration, d = 1.4 $m/s^2$

Distance, S = 110 meters

To find the car’s velocity at the end of this distance, we would use the third equation of motion;

Mathematically, the third equation of motion is calculated by using the formula;

$V^2 = U^2 + 2dS$

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

$V^2 = 22 + 2(1.4)(110)\\\\V^2 = 22 + 308\\\\V^2 = 330\\\\V^2 = \sqrt{330}$

Final velocity, V = 18.17 m/s

Therefore, the car’s velocity at the end of this distance is 18.17 m/s.

With your hand parallel to the floor and your palm upright, you lower a 3-kg book downward. If the force exerted on the book by

lara31 [8.8K]

According to the net force, the acceleration of the book is 16.47 m/s².

We need to know about force to solve this problem. According to second Newton's Law, the force applied to an object will be proportional to mass and acceleration. Hence, it can be written as

∑F = m . a

where F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration

From the question above, we know that

m = 3 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

F1 = 20 N

Find the net force

∑F = F1 + W

∑F = 20 + m . g

∑F = 20 + 3 . 9.8

∑F = 20 + 29.4

∑F = 49.4 N

Find the acceleration

∑F = m . a

49.4 = 3 . a

a = 16.47 m/s²

block of mass 5kgriding on a horizontal frictionlessxy-plane surface is subjected tothree applied forces:→F1= 12√2N[ 45◦]→F2= (8

dsp73

Answer:

(i) See attached image for the drawing

(ii) net force given in component form: (20, 20)N with magnitude: $\sqrt{800} \,\,\,N$

Explanation:

First try to write all forces in vector component form:

The force F1 acting at 45 degrees would have multiplication factors of $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$ on both axes, to take care of the sine and cosine projections. Therefore, the:

x-component of F1 is $F1_x=12\,\sqrt{2} \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} =12\,\,N$

y-component of F1 is $F1_y=12\,\sqrt{2} \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} =12\,\,N$

As far as force F2, it is given already in x and y components, then:

x-component of F2 = 8 N

y-component of F2 = -6 N (negative meaning pointing down the y-axis)

Force F3 has only component (upwards) in the y-direction

x-component of F3 = 0 N

y-component of F3 =14 N

The additions of all these component by component, gives the resultant force (R) acting on the 5 kg mass:

x-component of R = 12 + 8 = 20 N

y-component of R = 12 + 14 - 6 = 20 N

Therefore, the acceleration that the mass receives due to this force is given in component form as:

x-component of acceleration: 20 N / 5 kg = $4\,\,\,m/s^2$

y-component of acceleration: 20 N / 5 kg = $4\,\,\,m/s^2$

Now we can calculate the components of the velocity of this mass after 2 seconds of being accelerated by this force, using the formula of acceleration times time:

x-component of the velocity is: $v_x=4\,*\,2=8\,m/s$

y-component of the velocity is: $v_y=4\,*\,2=8\,m/s$

qwelly [4]

Answer:

N₂ / N₁ = 13.3

Explanation:

A transformer is a system that induces a voltage in the secondary due to the variation of voltage in the primary, the ratio of voltages is determined by the expression

ΔV₂ = N₂ /N₁ ΔV₁

where ΔV₂ and ΔV₁ are the voltage in the secondary and primary respectively and N is the number of windings on each side.

In this case, they indicate that the primary voltage is 9.0 V and the secondary voltage is 120 V

therefore we calculate the winding ratio

ΔV₂ /ΔV₁ = N₂ / N₁

N₂ / N₁ = 120/9

N₂ / N₁ = 13.3

s good clarify that in transformers the voltage must be alternating (AC)
