Explanation :

The amplitude of the wave illustrates the energy of the wave. The energy of the depends on the amplitude and the frequency of the wave.

The maximum distance covered by the wave is called its amplitude. The topmost point on the wave is called its crest and the down most point is called its trough (as shown in the attached figure).

From the given data, the wave having the amplitude of 3 cm has the least energy while the wave having an amplitude of 12 cm have maximum energy.

So, the correct order of the wave from the lowest energy to the highest energy is :

1 < 4 < 2 < 3

Hence, this is the required solution.

A general contractor drives 5 miles to the hardware store in 10 minutes. He shops for needed tools for 30 minutes, then drives t

Alex17521 [72]

Given parameters:

Distance to hardware shop = 5 miles

Time to reach hardware shop = 10 minutes

Time spent at the shop = 30 minutes

Average speed to customer home = 45 mph

Time taken for the travel = 20 minutes

Unknown:

Average speed of the contractor = ?

Solution:

Average speed is the total distance covered divided by the total time taken.

Average speed = $\frac{total distance}{total time taken}$

total distance = distance to hardware shop + distance to customer's home

We do not know the distance to customer's home but we have been given the speed and time, so we can find the distance.

Distance = speed x time

Convert the time to hrs and solve;

60 minutes = 1 hr

20 minutes = $\frac{20}{60} hr$ = $\frac{1}{3} hr$

So, Distance = 45mph x $\frac{1}{3} hr$ = 15miles

Now;

Total distance = 5 + 15 = 20miles

Total time = time to reach hardware shop + time to reach customer's house

= 10 + 20

= 30 minutes

Convert the time from minutes to hrs;

60 minutes = 1hr

30 minutes = $\frac{30}{60}$ = 0.5hr

So;

Average speed = $\frac{20}{0.5}$ = 40mph

The average speed is 40mph

A car experiences a centripetal acceleration of 4.4 m/s ^2 as ur rounds a corner with a speed of 15 m/s. What is the radius of t

damaskus [11]

The calculation of the centripetal acceleration of an object following a circular path is based on the equation,

a = v² / r

where a is the acceleration, v is the velocity, and r is the radius.

Substituting the known values from the given above,

4.4 m/s² = (15 m/s)² / r

The value of r from the equation is 51.14 m.

Answer: 51.14 m

A bat emitts a sonar sound wave (343 m/s) that bounces off a mosquito 8.42 m away

Varvara68 [4.7K]

The time lapse between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Velocity of sound (v) = 343 m/s

Distance (x) = 8.42 m

Time (t) =?

We can obtain obtained the time as illustrated below:

v = 2x / t

343 = 2 × 8.42 / t

343 = 16.84 / t

Cross multiply

343 × t = 16.84

Divide both side by 343

t = 16.84/343

t = 0.05 s

Thus, the time between when the bat emits the sound and when it hears the echo is 0.05 s.

<h3>How does a bat know how far away something is?</h3>

A bat emits a sound wave and carefully listens to the echoes that return to it. The returning information is processed by the bat's brain in the same way that we processed our shouting sound with a stopwatch and calculator. The bat's brain determines the distance of an object by measuring how long it takes for a noise to return.
