1. Do the particles in the medium material move in the same direction of the wave or at opposite direction to the wave? Explain

your answer.
2. By inputting more energy into the wave, i.e a large shake of the spring, which wave property also increases?

3. Are there forces of friction acting while a wave is passing through a medium?

1. Both

Assuming we are talking about a longitudinal wave (where particles oscillate in a direction parallel to the direction of motion of the wave), the answer is 'both'. In fact, waves consist of oscillations of the particles of a medium: in the case of the longitudinal waves, the particles oscillate back and forth, back and forth, continuosuly. This means that at some time they are moving forward, while at some time they are moving backward, with respect to the direction of the wave.


2. The amplitude

The energy of a wave is related to its amplitude. More specifically, the energy of a wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude:

E\propto A^2

therefore, if the spring has a larger amplitude of oscillation, it also has more energy.


3. Yes

Forces of friction act while a mechanical wave passes through a medium. As a result, particles during the oscillations lose part of their energy: this means that the amplitude of the oscillations of the wave decrease over time, because the wave loses some energy. Eventually, if the friction lasts enough, the wave can lose all its energy.

Answer:

The offspring is homozygous for eye color.

Explanation:

Brown eyes is the shared allele of both parents (meaning homozygous) and an allele for hair type was not inherited from only one parents but from both however will recieve the dominant trait. (This is my best guess; I haven't studied this in awhile though)

A one-piece cylinder has a core section protruding from the larger drum and is free to rotate around its central axis. A rope wr
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Magnitude the net torque about its axis of rotation is 2.41 Nm

Solution:

As per the question:

The radius of the wrapped rope around the drum, r = 1.33 m

Force applied to the right side of the drum, F = 4.35 N

The radius of the rope wrapped around the core, r' = 0.51 m

Force on the cylinder in the downward direction, F' = 6.62 N

Now, the magnitude of the net torque is given by:

\tau_{net} = \tau + \tau'

where

\tau = Torque due to Force, F

\tau' = Torque due to Force, F'

tau = F\times r

tau' = F'\times r'

Now,

\tau_{net} = - F\times r + F'\times r'

\tau_{net} = - 4.35\times 1.33 + 6.62\times 0.51 = - 2.41\ Nm

The net torque comes out to be negative, this shows that rotation of cylinder is in the clockwise direction from its stationary position.

Now, the magnitude of the net torque:

|\tau_{net}| = 2.41\ Nm

A coin is placed on a vinyl stereo record that is making 33 1/3 revolutions per minute on a turntable. (a) In what direction is
mamaluj [8]

Answer: a) The acceletarion is directed to the center on the turntable. b) 5 cm; ac= 0.59 m/s^2; 10 cm, ac=1.20 m/s^2; 14 cm, ac=1.66 m/s^2

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to consider teh expression of the centripetal accelartion for a circular movement, which is given by:

ac=ω^2*r where ω and r are the angular speed and teh radios of the circular movement.

w=2*π*f

We know that the turntable is set to 33  1/3 rev/m so

the frequency 33.33/60=0.55 Hz

then w=2*π*0.55=3.45 rad/s

Finally the centripetal acceleration at differents radii results equal:

r= 0.05 m  ac=3.45^2*0.05=0.50 m/s^2

r=0.1  ac=3.45^2*0.1=1.20 m/s^2

r=0.14 ac=3.45^2*0.14=1.66 m/s^2
