Answer:

Its state is in uniformly accelerated motion

Explanation:

When an object is acted upon the force of gravity only, we said that the object is in free fall.

According to Newton's second law of motion:

$F=ma$

where F is the net force on an object, m is its mass, a its acceleration, when the net force on an object (F) is non-zero, than the object accelerates (because a is non-zero), so the object is in accelerated motion.

In case of free fall, the rate of acceleration of the object is equal to $g=9.8 m/s^2$ , the acceleration due to gravity, and it is constant. So, the object is moving by uniformly accelerated motion.

Two sinusoidal waves are moving through a medium in the positive x-direction, both having amplitudes of 7.00 cm, a wave number o

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

0.99 m

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Amplitude, A = 7.00cm

Wave number, k = 3.00m^-1

Angular Frequency, ω = 2.50Hz

Period = 6.00 s

Phase, ϕ = π/12 rad

Note: All parameters are the same for both waves except the phase.

Wave 1 has a wave function:

y1(x, t) = Asin(kx - ωt)

y1(x, t) = 7sin(3x - 2.5t)

Wave 2 has a wave function:

y2(x, t) = Asin(kx - ωt + ϕ)

y2(x, t) = 7sin(3x - 2.5t + π/12)

π is in radians.

When Superposition occurs, the new wave is represented by:

y(x, t) = 7sin(3x - 2.5t) + 7sin(3x - 2.5t + π/12)

y(x, t) = 7[sin(3x - 2.5t) + sin(3x - 2.5t + π/12)]

Using trigonometric function:

sin(a) + sin(b) = 2cos[(a - b)/2]sin[(a + b)/2]

Where a = 3x - 2.5t, b = 3x - 2.5t + π/12

We have that:

y(x, t) = (2*7)[cos(π/24)sin(3x - 2.5t + π/24)]

Therefore, when x = 0.53cm and t = 2s,

y(x, t) = (2*7)[cos(π/24)sin{(3*0.53) - (2.5*2)+ π/24}]

y(x, t) = 14 * 0.9914 * 0.0713

y(x, t) = 0.99 m

The height of the resultant wave is 0.99cm

An 800-newton person is standing in an elevator. If the upward force of the elevator on the person is 600 Newtons, the person

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

person is accelerating downwards

Explanation:

We are told that the force of the person standing on the elevator is 800 N acting downwards.

We are also told that the upward force of the elevator on the person is 600 Newtons.

This means that Upward force is lesser than downward force and thus the person is accelerating downwards
