What of a wave is a measure of the energy it carries

1 answer:

8 0

The amplitude of a wave is a measure of the energy it carries. The amplitude of a wave is the distance between the midline of a wave and its crest or trough.

Amplitude measures the amount of energy being transported by a wave. The larger the amplitude, the more the energy that a wave has.

Wave such as water waves have energy. Smaller waves have less energy because they have a smaller amplitude. Tsunamis have very high amplitudes and thus have a huge amount of energy

A 1.5kg cart moves along a track at 0.20m/s until it hits a fixed bumper at the end of the track. Find the average force exerted

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Net force will be 4.875 N

Explanation:

We have given mass of the cart m = 1.5 kg

Initial velocity of the cart = 0.2 m/sec

And final velocity of the car = - 0.125 m/sec ( Negative direction is due to opposite direction )

Instant of time $\Delta t=0.1sec$

Change in momentum is given by

$\Delta P=1.5\times (0.2-(-0.125))=1.5\times 0.325=0.4875kgm/sec$

Now force is given by

$F=\frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}=\frac{0.4875}{0.1}=4.875N$

Net force will be 4.875 N

How are gravity and electromagnetic force similar and different?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

The biggest difference is that gravity is an attractive force while electromagnetism is both an attractive and repelling force. Gravity happens between two objects depending on their masses, while electromagnetism is dependent on the objects' electric charges and the distance between them.

A particular balloon can be stretched to a maximum surface area of 1257 cm2. The balloon is filled with 3.1 L of helium gas at a

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem we are going to use the ideal gass law

PV = nRT

Where n (number of moles) and R are constants (in the present case)

Therefore, we can relate to thermodynamic states with their respective pressure, volume and temperature.

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$ --- (*)

Our initial state is:

P1 = 754 torr

V1 = 3.1 L

T1 = 294 K

If we consider the final state at which the ballon will explode, then:

P2 = Pmax

V2 = Vmax

T2 = 273 K

We also know that the maximum surface area is: 1257 cm^2

If we consider a spherical ballon, we can obtain the maximum radius:

$R_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{A_{max}}{4 \pi}}$

Rmax = 10.001 cm

Therefore, the max volume will be:

$V_{max} = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_{max}^3$

Vmax = 4 190.05 cm^3 = 4.19 L

Now, from (*)

$P_{max} = P_1 \frac{V_1T_2}{V_2T_1}$

Therefore:

Pmax= P1 * (0.687)

That is:

Pmax = 518 Torr

Critical angle of glass is 42 .what does it mean?

elena55 [62]

Answer:

i think..its fraction that its have multiple fractions on it..if you minus the 397 000-355 it should be 381+ so i say if you get the 5 multiply it by 9!! so you will get it!
