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

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric forces exist among stationary electric charges; both electric and magnetic forces exist among moving electric charges. ... The magnetic force between two moving charges may be described as the effect exerted upon either charge by a magnetic field created by the other.

K donates, or transfers, one electron to bromine, which has 7 electrons. Both K and Br are now stable with 8 electrons. K become

Charra [1.4K]

K is cation by losing of electron whereas Br is anion due to accepting of electrons.

<h3 /><h3>Is charge appears when an atom lose or accept electron?</h3>

Yes, the positive ion appears on K and become cation whereas the negative ion bears on Br which make it anion because of losing and gaining of electron by these atoms. This transferring of electrons leads to formation of ionic bonds between them.

So we can conclude that K is cation by losing of electron whereas Br is anion due to accepting of electrons.

You place a solid cylinder of mass M on a ramp that is inclined at an angle β to the horizontal. The coefficient of static frict

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the frictional force required be f .

frictional force is responsible in creating rotational motion in the cylinder.

torque created by frictional force = f R

if angular acceleration be α

α = f R / I , I is moment of inertia of cylinder .

α = a / R , a is linear acceleration.

f R / I = a / R

a = f R² / I

linear acceleration a of cylinder down the slope

ma = mgsinθ - f , ( f force is acting upwards and mgsinθ is acting downwards )

mf R² / I = mgsinθ -f

f ( m R² / I + 1) = mgsinθ

f = mgsinθ / ( m R² / I + 1)

= mgsinθ / ( m R² / mk² + 1) , k is radius of gyration of cylinder.

= mgsinθ / ( R² / k² + 1)

Putting the given values

f = Mgsinβ /( R² / k² + 1)

for cylinder , R² / k² = 2

f = Mgsinβ /3

1) The mass of the continent is $3.3\cdot 10^{21}kg$

2) The kinetic energy of the continent is 1683 J

3) The speed of the jogger must be 6.57 m/s

Explanation:

The continent can be represented as a slab of size

$d=5850 km = 5.85\cdot 10^6 m$

and depth

$t = 35 km = 3.5\cdot 10^4 m$

So its volume is

$V=d^2 t = (5.85\cdot 10^6)^2(3.5\cdot 10^4)=1.20\cdot 10^{18} m^3$

We also know that the density of the continent is

$\rho = 2750 kg/m^3$

Therefore, we can calculate its mass as:

$m=\rho V=(2750)(1.20\cdot 10^{18})=3.3\cdot 10^{21} kg$

The kinetic energy of the continent is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is its mass

v is its speed

We have already calculate its mass, while the speed is

v = 3.2 cm/year

We have to convert into SI units first, as follows:

$v=3.2 \frac{cm}{year} \cdot \frac{1}{100 cm/m} \cdot \frac{1}{(365 d/y)(24h/d)(60min/h)(60 s/min)}=1.01\cdot 10^{-9} m/s$

The mass is

$m=3.3\cdot 10^{21} kg$

So, the kinetic energy of the continent is

$K=\frac{1}{2}(3.3\cdot 10^{21})(1.01\cdot 10^{-9})^2=1683 J$

Here we have a jogger having the same kinetic energy of the continent, so

$K=1683 J$

And the kinetic energy of the jogger can be expressed as

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m = 78 kg is the mass of the jogger

v is his speed

We can therefore re-arrange the equation to find the speed of the man, and we get:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1683)}{78}}=6.57 m/s$
