Answer

Correct answer is amplitude

Explanation:

Frequency: frequency is the number of complete waves which passes through a point in one second. SI unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz). Frequency depends on Wavelength. Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength. It means if wavelength of wave is higher, then its frequency will be shorter.

Wavelength: wavelength is the distance between adjacent crests. SI unit of wavelength is meters. Wavelength depends on frequency. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency, it means if frequency of wave is higher, then its wavelength will be shorter.

Speed : Speed of wave is defined as the speed with which a wave propagate in a medium or vacuum. SI unit of speed is m/s. Wave speed depends on wavelength and frequency by following equation

$speed=frequency\times wavelength$

Amplitude: Amplitude is the height of the wave. SI unit of amplitude is meter. Amplitude is independent of frequency, wavelength and speed. So it is correct answer

A ferry coming into port is sailing at 12 m/s. It takes 2.5km to come to rest in the port. Calculate the deceleration of the fer

pogonyaev

Answer: -0.0288 m/s^2

Explanation:

Let's suppose that the ferry decelerates at a constant rate A (deceleration is an acceleration in the opposite direction to the original motion of an object)

Then the acceleration equation of the ferry will be:

a(t) = -A

(the negative sign is because this acceleration is in the opposite direction with respect to the movement of the ferry)

To get the velocity equation of the ferry, we need to integrate with respect to the time, t, we will get:

v(t) = -A*t + v0

where v0 is the initial velocity of the ferry, v0 = 12m/s.

v(t) = -A*t + 12m/s

For the position equation of the ferry we need to integrate again over time:

p(t) = (-A/2)*t^2 + (12m/s)*t + p0

Where p0 is the initial position of the ferry, in this case, it can be zero, because it will depend on where we put the origin on our coordinate axis.

then p0 = 0m

P(t) = (-A/2)*t^2 + (12m/s)*t

The ferry will come to rest at the moment when it's velocity is equal to zero, this will happen when:

v(t) = 0m/s = -A*t + 12m/s

We need to find the value of t.

A*t = 12m/s

t = (12m/s)/A

Now we can replace this in the position equation because we know that the ferry needs 2.5 km or 2500 meters to come to rest.

p( (12m/s)/A) = 2500m = (-A/2)*( (12m/s)/A)^2 + (12m/s)*((12m/s)/A)

2500m = (-72 m^2/s^2)/A + (144m^2/s^2)/A

2500m = (72 m^2/s^2)/A

2500m*A = (72 m^2/s^2)

A = (72 m^2/s^2)/2500m = 0.0288 m/s^2

and the acceleration of the ferry was -A, then the acceleration of the ferry is:

-0.0288 m/s^2

A split highway has a number of lanes for traffic. For traffic going in one direction, the radius for the inside of the curve is

Andrew [12]

Answer:

The correct one is that the force on B is half of the force on A

Explanation:

Because radius for the inside of the curve is half the radius for the outside and Car A travels on the inside while car B, travels at equal speed on the outside of the curve. Thus force on B will be half on A

A physical pendulum consists of a meter stick that is pivoted at a small hole drilled through the stick a distance d from the 50

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

(a). The value of d is 0.056 cm and 1.496 cm.

(b). The time period is 1.35 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 50.00 cm

Time period = 2.50 s

Time period of pendulum is defined as the time for one complete cycle.

The period depends on the length of the pendulum.

Using formula of time period

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{I}{mgh}}$

Where, I = moment of inertia

We need to calculate the value of d

Using parallel theorem of moment of inertia

$I=I_{cm}+md^2$

For a meter stick mass m , the rotational inertia about it's center of mass

$I_{cm}-\dfrac{mL^2}{12}$

Where, L = 1 m

Put the value into the formula of time period

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{\dfrac{mL^2}{12}+md^2}{mgd}}$

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L^2}{12gd}+\dfrac{d}{g}}$

$T^2=4\pi^2(\dfrac{L^2}{12gd}+\dfrac{d}{g})$

Multiplying both sides by d

tex]T^2d=4\pi^2(\dfrac{L^2}{12g}+\dfrac{d^2}{g})[/tex]

$(\dfrac{4\pi^2}{g})d^2-T^2d+\dfrac{\pi^2L^2}{3g}=0$

Put the value of T, L and g into the formula

$4.028d^2-6.25d+0.336=0$

$d = 0.056\ m, 1.496\ m$

The value of d is 0.056 cm and 1.496 cm.

(b). Given that,

L = 50-5 = 45 cm

We need to calculate the time period

Using formula of period

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}$

Put the value into the formula

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{45\times10^{-2}}{9.8}}$

$T=1.35\ sec$

Hence, (a). The value of d is 0.056 cm and 1.496 cm.

(b). The time period is 1.35 sec.

Which of the following factors can negatively affect development?

PtichkaEL [24]

The answer would be D. It's D because if there was corruption and instability, how will we fund the project? If there was lack of resources, how will the house be completed? If there was a lack of education, how will buildings be able to be engineered?
