Scouts at a camp shake the rope bridge they have just crossed and observe the wave crests to be 5.85 m apart. If they shake the

bridge three times per second, what is the propagation speed of the waves (in m/s)

Answer:

17.55 m/s

Explanation:

The number of times a wave will pass through a particular point is called frequency so, here the frequency is 3 Hz = f

The distance which is measured between two troughs or crests in a wave is called wavelength so, here the wavelength is 5.85 m = \lambda

Velocity is given by

v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow v=3\times 5.85\\\Rightarrow v=17.55\ m/s

The propagation speed of the waves is 17.55 m/s

A snowball is rolling down a hill at 4.5 m/s and accumulating snow as it goes. Its diameter begins at 0.50 m and ends at the bot
Reil [10]
To find the change in centripetal acceleration, you should first look for the centripetal acceleration at the top of the hill and at the bottom of the hill.

The formula for centripetal acceleration is:
Centripetal Acceleration = v squared divided by r

where:
v = velocity, m/s
r= radium, m

assuming the velocity does not change:

at the top of the hill:
centripetal acceleration = (4.5 m/s^2) divided by 0.25 m
                                      = 81 m/s^2

at the bottom of the hill:
centripetal acceleration = (4.5 m/s^2) divided by 1.25 m
                                      = 16.2 m/s^2

to find the change in centripetal acceleration, take the difference of the two.
change in centripetal acceleration = centripetal acceleration at the top of the hill - centripetal acceleration at the bottom of the hill

= 81 m/s^2 - 16.2 m/s^2
= 64.8 m/s^2 or 65 m/s^2

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

a. Technician A

Explanation:

Technician A says that a MAF sensor is a high-authority sensor and is responsible for determining the fuel needs of the engine based on the measured amount of air entering the engine. Technician B says that a cold wire MAF sensor uses the electronics in the sensor itself to heat a wire 20°C below the temperature of the air entering the engine. Who is right

MAF wich stands for  mass airflow sensor determines the mass of air flowing into the engine's air intake system. ... , the wire cools When air flows past the wire, decreasing its resistance, thereby more current flows through the circuit. When the MAf goes bad, it can not sense the amount of air intake into the engine.

cestrela7 [59]

Frequency division multiplexing operates by dividing the signal into different frequencies

<u>Explanation:</u>

The technique that is used in the networking is the Frequency Division Multiplexing. using this technique, the existing bandwidths can be partitioned into different frequency bandwidths. These are not interrupting with each other. Each bandwidth can be used for carrying signals individually.

Using this technique many users can share a particular communication medium and they will not be interrupted with each other's communication.Hence this technique can also be termed as Frequency Division Multiple Access.

Matthew is looking at two different atoms. One has 8 protons and 10 neutrons. The other substance has 8 protons and 12 neutrons.
Lunna [17]

Answer:

They are the same element.

Explanation:

Atom >>>>> Proton >>>> Neutron

A >>>>>>>> 8 >>>>>>>>> 10

B >>>>>>>> 8 >>>>>>>>> 12

From the table above we can see that both atoms have the same proton number.

Therefore, they are the same element because they have the same proton number which means that they have the same atomic number. The element in this case is existing as an isotope in that the atoms have the same proton number but different neutron number.
