For a wave, what term is defined as the maximum height of a crest, or depth of a trough, relative to the normal level

Physics
1 answer:
BabaBlast [244]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Amplitude.

Explanation:

Radio waves can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that has its frequency ranging from 30 GHz to 300 GHz and its wavelength between 1mm and 3000m. Therefore, radio waves are a series of repetitive valleys and peaks that are typically characterized of having the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Basically, as a result of radio waves having long wavelengths, they are mainly used in long-distance communications such as the carriage and transmission of data. Some examples of communication technologies that uses radio waves are radio set, mobile phones, television etc.

For a wave, an amplitude is defined as the maximum height of a crest, or depth of a trough, relative to the normal level

Rony fills a bucket with water and whirls it in a vertical circle to demonstrate that the water will not spill from the bucket a
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

0 N, 3.49 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram for the bucket at the top of the swing.  There are two forces acting on the bucket: weight and tension, both downwards.

If we take the sum of the forces in the radial direction, where towards the center is positive:

∑F = ma

W + T = m v² / r

The higher the velocity that Rony swings the bucket, the more tension there will be.  The slowest he can swing it is when the tension is 0.

W = m v² / r

mg = m v² / r

g = v² / r

v = √(gr)

Given that r = 1.24 m:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 1.24 m)

v = 3.49 m/s

A 65-kg skier grips a moving rope that is powered by an engine and is pulled at a constant speed to the top of a 230 hill. The s
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The required power by the engine is 33.0 hp

Explanation:

Solution

Newton's second law says that, the net force Fnet on an object of mass m will accelerates the object

Where

Fnet = ma

a = acceleration

θ = angle of incline,

m = mass of the 30 skiers,

f = frictional force

N = normal force

mg sinθ, mg cos θ are components of weight skier

F = the force applied by engine

Now,

The skier mass  is 65 kg

We calculate the mass of the 30 skier

m = 30 (65kg) = 1950 kg

Calculate the net force acting on the skiers along the x-axis

Fnet, x=ma

Now,

F-mg sin θ - f = 0

F= mg sin θ + f -----(1)

The kinetic frictional force is denoted by

f = μk N ------(2)

μk = The coefficient of the kinetic friction

We now, calculate the net force acting on the skiers along y axis

Fnet, y = ma

N- mg cos θ = 0

so,

N = mg cos θ

This value is  substituted in equation (2)

f = μk mg cos θ

we substitute the value for equation (1)

F = mg sin θ + μk mg cos θ

mg =  sinθ + μk cos θ)-----(3)

The next step is to calculate the work done by the engine in pulling the skiers, the incline top by applying the equation 3

W = Fx

= mg ( sinθ + μk cos θ)x

x = the displacement

we now substitute 1950 kg for m, 23° for θ, 0.10 for μk and 320m for x

so,

W = mg ( sinθ + μk cos θ)x

= (1950 kg) (9.81 m/s²) (sin 23° + (0.10) cos 23°) (320 m)

= 2.99 * 10 ^6 J

Then,

The time from minute to s is converted

t =(2.0min) ( 60sec/1.0min) = 120 sec

Now we calculate the power needed by the engine to pull the skiers at the incline top

Thus,

P = W/t

we substitute  2.955 * 10 ^6 J for W and  120 s for t

we have,

P = 2.955 * 10 ^ 6 J/ 120 s

= ( 2.4625 * 10 ^ 4 W) (1.0 hp/746 W)

= 33.0 hp

In conclusion the required power by the engine is 33.0 hp

An above ground swimming pool of 30 ft diameter and 5 ft depth is to be filled from a garden hose (smooth interior) of length 10
STALIN [3.7K]

This question involves the concepts of dynamic pressure, volume flow rate, and flow speed.

It will take "5.1 hours" to fill the pool.

First, we will use the formula for the dynamic pressure to find out the flow speed of water:

P=\frac{1}{2}\rho v^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2P}{\rho}}

where,

v = flow speed = ?

P = Dynamic Pressure = 55 psi(\frac{6894.76\ Pa}{1\ psi}) = 379212 Pa

\rho = density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Therefore,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2(379212\ Pa)}{1000\ kg/m^3}}

v = 27.54 m/s

Now, we will use the formula for volume flow rate of water coming from the hose to find out the time taken by the pool to be filled:

\frac{V}{t} = Av\\\\t =\frac{V}{Av}

where,

t = time to fill the pool = ?

A = Area of the mouth of hose = \frac{\pi (0.015875\ m)^2}{4} = 1.98 x 10⁻⁴ m²

V = Volume of the pool = (Area of pool)(depth of pool) = A(1.524 m)

V = [\frac{\pi (9.144\ m)^2}{4}][1.524\ m] = 100.1 m³

Therefore,

t = \frac{(100.1\ m^3)}{(1.98\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m^2)(27.54\ m/s)}\\\\

<u>t = 18353.5 s = 305.9 min = 5.1 hours</u>

What is the frequency of radiation whose wavelength is 2.40 x 10-5 cm?
S_A_V [24]
<span>To begin, the formula for finding frequency when wavelength is known is "f = c / w" when c is the constant velocity (3 * 10^8 m/s). To convert the wavelength into a common form (m/s), it will have to be multiplied by 10^-2. This leaves the equation as "f = 3.0 * 10^8 / (2.4 * 10^-5 * 10^-2), or 2.4 * 10^-7. This gives 1.25 * 10^15 m/s as the frequency.</span>
