What is amplitude, wavelength, and frequency?

1 answer:

6 0

Wavelength- distance between successive crests of a wave.

frequency- the rate at which something occurs or is repeated over time.

amplitude- maximum extent of a vibration.

A block pushed along the floor with velocity v0xv0x slides a distance dd after the pushing force is removed. If the mass of the

Volgvan

Answer:

There is no change in distance

Explanation:

Given that block slides a distance dd with initial velocity $v_{ox}$ $v_{ox}$

Work energy theorem states that Work done W is the difference between final kinetic energy $KE_{f}$ and initial kinetic energy $KE_{i}$

W = $KE_{f}$ - $KE_{i}$ ...........(equation 1)

In the given problem, the work is done by frictional force

Hence the work done is given by

$W_{Friction}$ = - $F_{Friction}$ x dd

$F_{Friction}$ is negative since it is resistive force and dd is the distance

$W_{Friction}$ = - μ mg X dd

where μ is coefficient of friction.

Also we know that Kinetic energy KE = $\frac{1}{2}$ $mv^{2}$

$KE_{f}$ = 0 since final velocity is zero

$KE_{i}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ $m(v_{ox} v_{ox}) ^{2}$

Substituting the corresponding values equation 1 becomes

-μ mg x dd = 0 - $\frac{1}{2}$ $m(v_{ox} v_{ox}) ^{2}$

dd= $\frac{(v_{ox}v_{ox} )^{2} }{2g}$ x (1/μ) ........... (equation 2)

To find distance when mass of block is doubled and initial velocity is not changed:

Equation 2 shows that the distance dd is independent of mass, therefore there is no change in distance.

Which picture shows the wave with the smallest wavelength?

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

b. B

Explanation:

Picture B has the smallest peaks among all which henceforth makes the wavelength i.e. distance between two adjacent crests or troughs, small.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: 2.5 m/s and 6.25 m

Explanation:

u = 0

a = 0.5 m/s²

t = 5 s

v = u + at

= 0 + 0.5 × 5

= 2.5 m/s

s = ut + 1/2 at²

= 1/2 × 2.5 × 5

= 6.25 m

stepan [7]

Answer: physical or mechanical weathering

Explanation:

Mechanical weathering which is also referred to as the physical weathering occurs when a rock is broken down into smaller pieces. In this case, there will be a physical change of the rock but its composition will not change.

Some examples include ice freezing and expansion of the cracks in the rock, Smstrong winds that carrycpieces of sand which then sandblast surfaces, moving water which causes abrasion etc.
