How can the speed of a mechanical wave energy be calculated

Suppose a car is traveling at +25.0 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light turn red. After 0.340 s has elapsed (the reaction t

scoundrel [369]

First, we will get the distance traveled before the driver applied the brakes.
distance = velocity * time
distance = 25*0.34 = 8.5 m

Now, we will calculated the distance that the car traveled after the driver applied the brakes. To do this, we will use the equation of motion:
<span>vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d where:
</span>vf = zero, vi = 25 m/s and a = -7 m/s^2
Note: The negative sign is only to show deceleration
d = <span> 1/2*(625) /(7) = 44.6428 m

The total stopping distance =</span> 8.5 + 44.6428 = 53.1428 m

Calculate the power required of a 60-kg person who climbs a tree 5 meters high in 10 seconds.

Alina [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

Power = Energy/time

-Don't have energy so I'm gonna solve for it

Gravitational Potential Energy = mass x gravity x height

= 60 kg x 9.8 m/s2 x 5m

= 2940 J

Power = Energy/time

=2940 J/10 s

= 294 W

A spaceship is travelling at 20,000.0 m/s. After 5.0 seconds, the rocket thrusters are turned on. At the 55.0 second mark, the s

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

$80 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is given by:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval it takes for the velocity to change from u to v

For the rocket in this problem,

u = 20,000 m/s

v = 24,000 m/s

t = 55.0 - 5.0 = 50.0 s

Substituting,

$a=\frac{24000-20000}{50}=80 m/s^2$

A laser beam is incident at an angle of 30.0° from the vertical onto a solution of corn syrup in water. The beam is refracted to

dimaraw [331]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Angle of incidence, $i=30^{\circ}$

Angle of refraction, $r=19.24^{\circ}$

a.Refractive index of air, $n_1=1$

We know that

$n_2sinr=n_1sini$

$n_2=\frac{n_1sin i}{sin r}=\frac{sin30}{sin19.24}=1.517$

b.Wavelength of red light in vacuum, $\lambda=632.8nm=632.8\times 10^{-9} m$

$1nm=10^{-9} m$

Wavelength in the solution, $\lambda'=\frac{\lambda}{n_2}$

$\lambda'=\frac{632.8}{1.517}=417nm$

c.Frequency does not change .It remains same in vacuum and solution.

Frequency, $\nu=\frac{c}{\lamda}=\frac{3\times 10^8}{632.8\times 10^{-9}}$

Where $c=3\times 10^8 m/s$

Frequency, $\nu=4.74\times 10^{14}Hz$

d.Speed in the solution, $v=\frac{c}{n_2}$

$v=\frac{3\times 10^8}{1.517}=1.98\times 10^8m/s$

Answer:

26.9 Pa

Explanation:

We can answer this question by using the continuity equation, which states that the volume flow rate of a fluid in a pipe must be constant; mathematically:

$A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$ (1)
