Answer: The correct answer is "equilibrium to the crest and is called the amplitude".

Explanation:

Amplitude is the maximum displacement of the particle from its equilibrium position in the vertical direction.

The wavelength is the distance between the two consecutive troughs or crests. But it is in horizontal direction.

Frequency is the number of waves that pass in a given time form a fixed point.

Therefore, the vertical displacement of the wave is measured from the equilibrium to the crest and is called the amplitude.

The law of universal gravitation offers a mathematical explanation for the attraction between the moon and Earth.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

The given statement is true that the law of universal gravitation offers a mathematical explanation for the attraction between the moon and Earth.

According to this law, the forces between two masses can be calculated by the product of their masses and divided by the square of the distance between them. Mathematically, it can be written as :

$F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$

G is universal gravitational constant

Hence, the given statement is true.

A car moves at a constant velocity of 30 m/s and has 3.6 × 105 J of kinetic energy. The driver applies the brakes and the car st

LekaFEV [45]

The force needed to the stop the car is -3.79 N.

Explanation:

The force required to stop the car should have equal magnitude as the force required to move the car but in opposite direction. This is in accordance with the Newton's third law of motion. Since, in the present problem, we know the kinetic energy and velocity of the moving car, we can determine the mass of the car from these two parameters.

So, here v = 30 m/s and k.E. = 3.6 × 10⁵ J, then mass will be

$K.E = \frac{1}{2} * m*v^{2} \\\\m = \frac{2*KE}{v^{2} } = \frac{2*3.6*10^{5} }{30*30}=800 kg$

Now, we know that the work done by the brake to stop the car will be equal to the product of force to stop the car with the distance travelled by the car on applying the brake.Here it is said that the car travels 95 m after the brake has been applied. So with the help of work energy theorem,

Work done = Final kinetic energy - Initial kinetic energy

Work done = Force × Displacement

So, Force × Displacement = Final kinetic energy - Initial Kinetic energy.

$Force * 95 = 0-3.6*10^{5}\\ \\Force =\frac{-3.6*10^{5} }{95}=-3.79 N$

Thus, the force needed to the stop the car is -3.79 N.

Which of the following terms best describes why a skier sliding down a hill eventually comes to a stop?

natta225 [31]

Acceleration means you go faster
inertia means it has a tendency to do nothing or remain unchanged
gravity is what pulls things down to earth
<span>Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other.
so i would say friction</span>

Electrons in an x-ray tube are accelerated through 144 kV and directed toward a target to produce x-rays. Calculate the power of

Katarina [22]

Answer:

Power of the electron beam in the x-ray tube is 2304 W

Explanation:

Given;

voltage of the electron beam in the x-ray tube, V = 144 kV = 144 x 10³ V

current of the electron beam in the x-ray tube, I = 16.0 mA = 16 x 10⁻³ A

Power is given as the product of voltage and current in a circuit.

Power of the electron beam in the x-ray tube, P = V x I

Power of the electron beam in the x-ray tube, P = 144 x 10³ V x 16 x 10⁻³ A

P = 2304 W

Therefore, power of the electron beam in the x-ray tube is 2304 W

Three liquids that do not mix are poured into a cylindrical container with a diameter of 10.0 cm. The densities and volumes of t

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

P = 9622.9 Pa = 9.62 KPa

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the mass of all three liquids:

m = ρV

where,

m = mass of liquid

ρ = density of liquid

V = Volume of liquid

FOR LIQUID 1:

m₁ = (2.8 x 10³ kg/m³)(2 x 10⁻³ m³) = 5.6 kg

m₂ = (1 x 10³ kg/m³)(1.5 x 10⁻³ m³) = 1.5 kg

m₃ = (0.6 x 10³ kg/m³)(1 x 10⁻³ m³) = 0.6 kg

The total mass will be:

m = m₁ + m₂+ m₃ = 5.6 kg + 1.5 kg + 0.6 kg

m = 7.7 kg

Hence, the weight of the liquids will be:

W = mg = (7.7 kg)(9.81 m/s²) = 75.54 N

Now, we calculate the base area:

A = πr² = π(0.05 m)²

A = 7.85 x 10⁻³ m²

Now the pressure will be given as:

$P = \frac{F}{A}\\\\P = \frac{75.54\ N}{7.85\ x\ 10^{-3}\ m^2}$
