What causes a wave to begin

kakasveta [241]

Wind or gravitational pull. A wave is made by friction between wind and the water’s surface. Waves can also be made by the sun and moon’s gravitational pull on the earth.

A 3.00-kg object has a velocity 1 6.00 i ^ 2 2.00 j ^2 m/s. (a) what is its kinetic energy at this moment? (b) what is the net w

tatyana61 [14]

(a) The velocity of the object on the x-axis is 6 m/s, while on the y-axis is 2 m/s, so the magnitude of its velocity is the resultant of the velocities on the two axes:
$v= \sqrt{(6.00m/s)^2+(2.00 m/s)^2}=6.32 m/s$
And so, the kinetic energy of the object is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(3.00 kg)(6.32 m/s)^2=60 J$

(b) The new velocity is 8.00 m/s on the x-axis and 4.00 m/s on the y-axis, so the magnitude of the new velocity is
$v= \sqrt{(8.00 m/s)^2+(4.00 m/s)^2}=8.94 m/s$
And so the new kinetic energy is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(3.00 kg)(8.94 m/s)^2=120 J$

So, the work done on the object is the variation of kinetic energy of the object:
$W=\Delta K=120 J-60 J=60 J$

A light bulb converts electrical energy into light energy and also some thermal energy. The amount of electrical energy is 50 Jo

Kitty [74]

If the amount of electrical energy is 50 Joules before the conversions, then it would be 50 Joules after the conversion.

According to law of conservation of energy, we cannot create or destroy energy so it remains constant

Hope this helps!

Which term describes the number of crests that pass a point in a given amount of time

joja [24]

The term is frequency.

The frequency is the number of vibrations per unit of time or the number of waves that passes a point per unit of time.

Every crest (and every trough) represents a pass of the wave so you can count the number of crests in an intervavl of time to find the frequency as the number of crests divided by the time elapsed.
