Answer:

person when the point-light walker is moving

Explanation:

A point light walker is an arrangement of dots that moves in a way that mimics a human walking. This is used in the field of Biological Motion Perception.

Biological motion perception is the science that deals with how our brain perceives motion. In order to understand how the brain perceives motion a point light walker is used.

A ball is thrown upwards at an unknown speed. in a time of

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

a) Initial speed of the ball = 14.45 m/s

b) At height 6 m speed of ball = 9.55 m/s

c) Maximum height reached = 10.65 m

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion $s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ , where s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, t is the time taken and a is the acceleration.

s = 6 m, t = 0.5 seconds, a = acceleration due to gravity value = -9.8 $m/s^2$

Substituting

$6=u*0.5-\frac{1}{2} *9.8*0.5^2\\ \\ u=14.45m/s$

Initial speed of the ball = 14.45 m/s

b) We have equation of motion $v^2=u^2+2as$ , where v is the final velocity

s = 6 m, u = 14.45 m/s, a = -9.8 $m/s^2$

Substituting

$v^2=14.45^2-2*9.8*6\\ \\ v=9.55m/s$

So at height 6 m speed of ball = 9.55 m/s

c) We have equation of motion $v^2=u^2+2as$ , where v is the final velocity

u = 14.45 m/s, v =0 , a = -9.8 $m/s^2$

Substituting

$0^2=14.45^2-2*9.8*s\\ \\ s=10.65 m$

Maximum height reached = 10.65 m

Standing waves can ruin the acoustics of a concert hall if there is excessive reflection of the sound waves that the performers

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The answer to the questions is;

In terms of standing waves, the listener moves from a location with high amplitude to one with lower amplitude or vibration (anti-node to node)

The distance 4.1 cm is equivalent to λ/4

Explanation:

For standing waves we have is a stationary wave comprising of two opposite direction moving waves that have equal amplitude and frequency, resulting in the superimposition of the waves. As such certain points are fixed along the wave path that is the peaks amplitude of the wave oscillation is constant at a particular point. A node occurring at a point and an anti-node occurring at another fixed point

When the listener moves 4.1 cm he or she has left the anti-node to the node hence the faintness of the sound

The distance from the node to the anti-node is 1/4 wavelength, or 1/4×λ

Therefore 4.1 cm is λ/4
