______ is the maximum distance the particles of the medium move from their resting positions when a wave passes through.

Physics

UkoKoshka [18]4 years ago

Answer:

Amplitude

Explanation:

A wave is a periodic oscillation that carries energy, but not matter, through space or through a medium.

A wave is characterized by the fact that the particles in the medium oscillate around a fixed point, but there is no overall movement of particles in the direction of the wave (this means, only energy is transferred, while matter is not transferred).

A wave is also characterized by several properties, namely:

Amplitude: it is the maximum distance the particles of the medium move from their resting positions

Frequency: the number of oscillations of a certain particle per second

Wavelenght: the distance between two points of the wave that have same shape

Period: the time it takes for one particle of the wave to complete one oscillation

So, the answer is

Amplitude

A spherical snowball is melting in such a way that its radius is decreasing at a rate of 0.1 cm/min. At what rate is the volume
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: 80.384 cubic cm /min

Explanation:

Let V denote the volume and r denotes the radius of the spherical snowball .

Given : \dfrac{dr}{dt}=-0.1\text{cm/min}

We know that the volume of a sphere is given by :-

V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Differentiating on the both sides w.r.t. t (time) ,w e get

\dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi(3r^2)\dfrac{dr}{dt}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{dV}{dt}=4\pi r^2 (-0.1)=-0.4\pi r^2

When r= 8 cm

\dfrac{dV}{dt}=-0.4(3.14)(8)^2=-80.384

Hence, the volume of the snowball decreasing at the rate of 80.384 cubic cm /min.

A 2.00 kg, frictionless block s attached to an ideal spring with force constant 550 N/m. At t = 0 the spring is neither stretche
gladu [14]

Answer:

a)    A = 0.603 m , b) a = 165.8 m / s² , c)  F = 331.7 N

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the law of conservation of energy

Starting point before touching the spring

    Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

End Point with fully compressed spring

    Em_{f} = K_{e} = ½ k x²

    Emo = Em_{f}

    ½ m v² = ½ k x²

    x = √(m / k)    v

    x = √ (2.00 / 550)   10.0

    x = 0.603 m

This is the maximum compression corresponding to the range of motion

     A = 0.603 m

b) Let's write Newton's second law at the point of maximum compression

    F = m a

    k x = ma

    a = k / m x

    a = 550 / 2.00 0.603

    a = 165.8 m / s²

With direction to the right (positive)

c) The value of the elastic force, let's calculate

    F = k x

    F = 550 0.603

   F = 331.65 N

AnnZ [28]
Maybe the picture helps. The blue block represents the cart with a mass of 3 kg. The person(black block) is pulling the cart to the right with a force F so that the acceleration a is 2 m/s². According to Newton's 2nd law: F = m*a.
