Answer:

Explanation:

The time taken by a transverse wave to propagate from one end to another depends on the number of oscillation made by the wave itself. If the total number of oscillation of the wave is known, the time taken by the wave to propagate through can be determined.

Note that the term "period" is the time taken by a transverse wave to complete one oscillation. So if we know the number of oscillation made in one second by the wave and the total oscillation made, then we can know determine how long it will take a transverse wave to propagate from one end of the string to the other

JUST PLZ HELP!!! Why does the lightbulb in the right electrical circuit turn on but not the one on the left?

jekas [21]

In the open circuit the current can not flow from one end of the power source to the other. Because of this there is no current flow, and therefore the light does not turn on.

Determine the current in the 7-ohm resistor for the circuit shown in the figure. Assume that the batteries are ideal and that al

seraphim [82]

Answer:

I₁ = 1.6 A (through 7 Ohm Resistor)

I₂ = 1.3 A (through 8 Ohm Resistor)

I₃ = I₁ - I₂ = 1.6 A - 1.3 A = 0.3 A (through 4 Ohm Resistor)

Explanation:

Here we consider two loops doe applying Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL). The 1st loop is the left side one with a voltage source of 12 V and the 2nd Loop is the right side one with a voltage source of 9 V. We name the sources and resistor's as follows:

R₁ = 7 Ω

R₂ = 4 Ω

R₃ = 8 Ω

V₁ = 12 V

V₂ = 9 V

Now, we apply KVL to 1st Loop:

V₁ = I₁R₁ + (I₁ - I₂)R₂

12 = 7I₁ + (I₁ - I₂)(4)

12 = 7I₁ + 4I₁ - 4I₂

I₁ = (12 + 4 I₂)/11 ------------ equation (1)

Now, we apply KVL to 2nd Loop:

V₂ = (I₂ - I₁)R₂ + I₂R₃

9 = (I₂ - I₁)(4) + 8I₂

9 = 4I₂ - 4I₁ + 8I₂

9 = 12I₂ - 4I₁ -------------- equation (2)

using equation (1)

9 = 12I₂ - 4[(12 + 4 I₂)/11]

99 = 132 I₂ - 48 - 16 I₂

147 = 116 I₂

I₂ = 147/116

I₂ = 1.3 A

use this value in equation 2:

9 = 12(1.3 A) - 4I₁

4I₁ = 15.6 - 9

I₁ = 6.6 A/4

I₁ = 1.6 A

Hence, the currents through all resistors are:

I₁ = 1.6 A (through 7 Ohm Resistor)

I₂ = 1.3 A (through 8 Ohm Resistor)

I₃ = I₁ - I₂ = 1.6 A - 1.3 A = 0.3 A (through 4 Ohm Resistor)

You and a partner sit on the floor and stretch out a coiled spring to a length of 7.2 meters. You shake the coil so you

vekshin1

Answer:

Approximately $5.9\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ (assuming that the partner is holding the other end of the coil stationary.)

Explanation:

In a standing wave, an antinode is a point that moves with maximal amplitude, while a node is a point that does not move at all. There is an antinode between every two adjacent nodes. Likewise, there is a node between every two adjacent antinodes.

The side of the spring that is being shaken moving with maximal amplitude. Hence, that point on this spring would also be an antinode. In contrast, the side of the spring that is held still (does not move at all) would be a node.

There would be a node between:

the antinode at the end of the spring that is being shaken, and
the antinode between the two ends of this spring.

Overall, the nodes and antinodes on this spring would be:

node at the end that is being held still,
antinode (as mentioned in the question),
node (inferred, not mentioned in the question), and
antinode at the end that is being shaken.

The distance between two adjacent nodes is equal to one-half (that is, $(1/2)$ ) the wavelength of the wave. The distance between a node and an adjacent antinode is one-quarter (that is, $(1/4)$ ) of the wavelength of the wave.

Thus, if the wavelength of the wave in this question is $\lambda$ , the length of this spring would be:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, \lambda + \frac{1}{4}\, \lambda = \frac{3}{4}\, \lambda$ .

The question states that the length of this coiled spring is $7.2\; {\rm m}$ . In other words, $(3/4) \, \lambda = 7.2\; {\rm m}$ . The wavelength of this wave would be $(7.2\; {\rm m}) / (3/4) = 9.6\; {\rm m}$ .

The frequency $f$ of this wave is the number of cycles in unit time:

$\begin{aligned} f &= \frac{10}{16.3\; {\rm s}} \approx 0.613\; {\rm s^{-1}}\end{aligned}$ .

Hence, the speed $v$ of this wave would be:

$\begin{aligned} v &= \lambda\, f \\ &=9.6\; {\rm m} \times 0.613\; {\rm s^{-1}} \\ &\approx 5.9\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}$ .

True or False. Father of a multitude" obeyed God's command to kill His son because the Ten Commandments had not yet been given.

velikii [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

The father of the Multitude was Abraham. And he did precede the 10 commandments. But the story really has nothing to do with the 10 commandments.

He obeyed God's Command because it was God who issued it. Abraham had complete faith in God's ability to make things come out right. The sacrifice of Isaac was a test of faith.

I would advise you to answer true, but whoever wrote the question employed a twisted kind of logic. The sacrifice of Isaac had nothing to do with the 10 commandments. Thou Shalt not murder is not really covered by this circumstance.

So true might not be the correct answer. The question is very complex and does not lend itself to a simple True/ False answer.
