Answer:

T = 0.96 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of wave, v = 2.6 m/s

The distance between wave crests, \lambda=2.5\ m

We need to find the period of the wave motion. Let T be the period. So,

v=\dfrac{\lambda}{T}\\\\T=\dfrac{\lambda}{v}\\\\T=\dfrac{2.5}{2.6}\\\\T=0.96\ s

So, the period of the wave motion is equal to 0.96 seconds.

If a car is taveling with a speed 6 and comes to a curve in a flat road with radius ???? 13.5 m, what is the minumum value the c
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

\mu_s \geq 0.27

Explanation:

The centripetal force acting on the car must be equal to mv²/R, where m is the mass of the car, v its speed and R the radius of the curve. Since the only force acting on the car that is in the direction of the center of the circle is the frictional force, we have by the Newton's Second Law:

f_s=\frac{mv^{2}}{R}

But we know that:

f_s\leq \mu_s N

And the normal force is given by the sum of the forces in the vertical direction:

N-mg=0 \implies N=mg

Finally, we have:

f_s=\frac{mv^{2}}{R}  \leq \mu_s mg\\\\\implies \mu_s\geq \frac{v^{2}}{gR}  \\\\\mu_s\geq \frac{(6\frac{m}{s}) ^{2}}{(9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}})(13.5m) }\\\\\mu_s\geq0.27

So, the minimum value for the coefficient of friction is 0.27.

Of the three primary forms of subaerial volcanoes, ________ are large cone-shaped mountains that consist of alternating layers o
Alborosie

Answer:

Strato-volcano

Explanation:

Strato-volcanoes are usually characterized by the presence of steep-sided slopes, with distinct craters, and are frequently erupted and conical in appearance. This type of volcano is generally felsic in nature. Due to the presence of high silica content, the magma being highly viscous, moves at a relatively slower rate. These are highly explosive and produce a large number of pyroclastic materials, lava flow, volcanic ashes, and gases.

They are also commonly considered as the composite volcano, and are comprised of alternating tephra and solidified lava layers.

Find your mass if a scale on earth reads 650 N when you stand on it.
netineya [11]

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

Acceleration of gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

                                           Weight on Earth = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)

Divide each side by  (9.8 m/s²):          Mass = (weight) / (9.8 m/s²)

                                                            Mass = (650 N) / (9.8 m/s²)

                                                           Mass = 66.33 kg  (rounded)

Why are neutral objects attracted to charged objects?
kow [346]

Explanation:

When neutral objects are placed in the vicinity of charged objects,they get attracted.

The isolated neutral object has positive charge and negative charge spread throughout it completely.

When a charged particle is brought,the opposite charges in the neutral object occupy the positions near to the charged particle and the like charges occupy the positions far from the charged particle.

This creates a dipole with some dipole moment.

This dipole attracts to the field of the charged particle.
