Which statement is true of a wave that’s propagating along the pavement and girders of a suspension bridge?

1 answer:

3 0

Had to look for the options and here is my answer.
The statement that is considered correct regarding a wave that is propagating along the pavement and girders of a suspension bridge is this: "the wave is mechanical, with particles vibrating in a direction that is perpendicular to that of the wave, forming compressions and rarefactions." Hope this helps.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

a) 3.66 s

b) 124.4 m

c) 3.12s

Explanation:

Given that

Speed of the Red Car, v₁ = 34 m/s

Speed of the Blue Car, v₂ = 28 m/s

Distance between the two cars, d = 22 m

The difference between the speed of the cars is: 34 - 28 = 6 m/s

From this, we can deduce that the red car will be catching up to the blue car at a speed of 6 m/s.

If we divide the distance by the difference in speed. This becomes

d/v = 22/6 = 3.66 s. Which means, It takes 3.66 seconds for the red car to meet up with the blue car.

From the previous part, we were able to confirm that it took 3.66 seconds for the red car to meet up the blue car. Also, the speed with which it were traveling was travelling at, was constant, so we only need to multiply it by the time from (1) to get the distance.

v = d * t = 34 * 3.66 = 124.4

Therefore the red car travels at 124.4 m before catching up to the blue car.

If the red car starts to accelerate the moment we see it, the time it will take, to get to the blue car will be less than what we had gotten. We can find this using one of the equations of motion.

S = ut + ½gt², where

S = 22

u = 6

t = ?

g = 2/3

22 = 6t + 1/3t²

By using the quadratic formula, we find out the two answers listed below

t1 = 3.12 s

t2 = - 21.12 s

We all know that negative time is not possible, so the answer is t1. At 3.12 seconds

kramer

Chameleon's tongue is more fast than thought. Its long sticky tongue moves at an amazing ballistic speed which lashes out unsuspecting insects and bugs. Now let us see how fast it is.

GIven:

acceleration of the chameleon's tongue- 260 m/s
2 for 20 ms
constant speed 30 ms
50 ms total time
1/20 of a second

solution:

260 = n 
20 50
20 n = 13, 000
20 20
n= 650 m/s

For a Physics course containing 10 students, the maximum point total for the quarter was 200. The point totals for the 10 studen

Talja [164]

Answer:

130.5

Explanation:

According to the stemplot attached (Which I think it is, and if not, then you only need to replace the procedure with your data and you should be fine), you need to calculate first the points of all ten students. In that plot, we can easily calculate the points.

The first number in the colum represents the centen of the point, while the numbers of the second column, represents the units of that centen, for example if you see:

16 | 8 5 6

This means that the point for the students are 168, 165 and 166. Three students, three points.

If you watch the stemplot, the points for the students are:

116, 118, 121, 124, 128, 133, 137, 142, 146 and 179.

The median can be calculated using the mean between the two values in the middle of the sequence.

In this case, half of ten is 5, so, the numbers from the middle in this sequence are 128 and 133, therefore:

Median = 128 + 133 / 2 = 130.5

Which of the following statements is most closely associated with Einstein's general theory of relativity?

Fudgin [204]

The answer is the first one. That's because the general theory of relativity is the thing experiencing whatever is experiencing relative to something else. The second answer is just plain wrong. The third answer is just a constant, and doesn't relate to experiencing anything. And the fourth answer is a force between two objects, and it has no second comparison. The first answer is how a subject experiences two different things.
