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)
Physics

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

Identify and compare 4 Fundamental forces (lesson 1.04)
Tom [10]
4 fundamental forses are: strong, electro-magnetic, weak, gravity.
The strong force is the force which can hold nucleus together against enormous forces of repulsion of the protons is strong indeed. In comparasing to electro magnetic force, this force in not an inverse square and it has very short range.
The electro-magnetic force manifests itself as trough the forces between charges(Colubos law) and the magnetic force, both of which are summarized in the Lorentz force law. The electro-magnetic force holds atoms and moleculs together.
The weak force is a force between elementary particles certain processes that take place with low probability, as radio-active beta-decay and collisions between neutrinos and other particles.
The gravity force is the weakest of all 4 fundamental forces. It is the force of  attraction between all masses in the universe, especially the attraction of the earth's mass for bodies near its suface. Newton's law of gravity states that gravitational force between two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Which three factors are used to calculate gravitational potential energy?
Elis [28]

Explanation:

PEgrav = m *• g • h

In the above equation, m represents the mass of the object, h represents the height of the object and g represents the gravitational field strength (9.8 N/kg on Earth) - sometimes referred to as the acceleration of gravity.

Suppose you have a rock that, when it solidifies, contains 1 microgram of a radioactive isotope. How much of this isotope remain
algol13

Answer:

d) 1/32 microgram

Explanation:

First half life is the time at which the concentration of the reactant reduced to half.

Second half reaction is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/4.

Third half life is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/8.

Forth half life is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/16.

Fifth half life is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/32.

The initial mass of the sample = 1 microgram

After 5 half-lives, the mass should reduce to 1/32 of the original.

So the concentration left = 1/32 of 1 microgram = 1/32 microgram

Relativistic velocity is of the order of _____ of velocity of light A- 1/15th of the velocity of light B-1/20th of the velocity
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Relativistic velocity is of the order of 1/10th of the velocity of light

Explanation:

We define relativistic speed (or velocity) as a speed that is a significant fraction of the speed of light: c = 3*10^8 m/s

Such that for these speeds, the special relativity theory starts to apply (the relativity effects starts to apply).

Usually, we define relativistic speeds as those that are of the order (or larger) of c/10, which is one-tenth of the speed of light.

Then the correct option is C:

Relativistic velocity is of the order of 1/10th of the velocity of light
