Trees. Every time the wind blows there is a wave of motion which is movement

Answer:

The wavelike motion usually can be described by the equation:

X(y,t) = Acos(kx - wt) + Bsin(kx - wt), so wavelike motion is usually a periodic motion.

Where k is the wavenumber and w is the frequency.

You can see a wavelike motion in trees when the wind moves them and the branches start to move in oscillatory motion.

Another example of wave motion can be some fishes, that use wavelike motion to impulse in the water.

Another example can be the Vipera ammodytes that move in a wavelike motion, with the objective of increasing its speed and agility in the sand.

A car whose total mass is 800kg travelling with a uniform velocity of 20m/s suddenly observes a stationary dog 50m ahead on its

maxonik [38]

Answer:

The driver hits the stationery dog because the applied force is less than required force

Explanation:

Kinetic energy will be given by

$KE=0.5mv^{2}$ where m is the mass of the vehicle and v is the speed/velocity of the vehicle.

Substituting 800 Kg for m and 20 m/s for v we obtain

$KE=0.5*800*(20 m/s)^{2}=160,000$

Frictional force by vehicle pads is given by

$Fr=\frac {KE}{d}$ where d is the distance moved

Substituting 160000 for KE and 50 m for d we obtain

$Fr=\frac {160000}{50}=3200 N$

Therefore, the vehicle hits the dog since the required force is 3200N but the driver applied only 2000 N

Why does sound propagate faster in solid bodies than in liquids and faster in liquids than in air?

storchak [24]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

this is because particles in solids are packed very closely together, thus , the particles collide with each other frequently and thus transfer of energy is faster. however, particles in liquid are closely packed but not as close as in solid so the particles do not collide as frequently. thus, transfer of energy slower than in solid. furthermore, the particles in gas are spaced far apart from each other, thus the particles don't collide with each other frequently, thus transfer of energy is very slow in gas.

A 52.0-kg sandbag falls off a rooftop that is 22.0 m above the ground. The collision between the sandbag and the ground lasts fo

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

F = 7,916,955.0N

Explanation:

According to newtons second law

Force = mass * acceleration

Given

mass = 52.0kg

distance S = 22.0m

time t = 17.0 ms = 0.017s

We need to get the acceleration first using the formula;

S = ut+ 1/2at²

22 = 0 + 1/2 a(0.017²)

22 = 0.0001445a

a = 22/0.0001445

a = 152,249.13m/s²

The magnitude of the average force exerted will be;

F = ma

F = 52 * 152,249.13

F = 7,916,955.0N

Mr. Fuller assigned his science class a lab comparing the masses of objects to the nearest gram using a balance. The mass of a p

Tomtit [17]

The scale would need 10 aluminum cubes on one side. Figure out how many paper clips would be needed on the other side to balance this. You have to use more than one aluminum cube because you need to have enough cubes so that you get a whole number mass. 10 cubes gives you a total mass of 27 g for the aluminum.
