Answer:

Explanation:

If a cat walk 100m East, this means that it is walking in the positive x direction, the distance will therefore be +100m

If it turns around and walks 25 m west, the direction of movement is in the negative x direction i.e -25m

Taking the sum;

Displacement = +100m - 25m

Displacement of the cat = 75m

hence the cats displacement is 75m

A sinusoidal transverse wave of amplitude ym = 8.4 cm and wavelength = 5.3 cm travels on a stretched cord. Find the ratio of the

Scilla [17]

Answer:

The ratio is 9.95

Solution:

As per the question:

Amplitude, $y_{m} = 8.4\ cm$

Wavelength, $\lambda = 5.3\ cm$

Now,

To calculate the ratio of the maximum particle speed to the speed of the wave:

For the maximum speed of the particle:

$v_{m} = y_{m}\times \omega$

where

$\omega = 2\pi f$ = angular speed of the particle

Thus

$v_{m} = 2\pi fy_{m}$

Now,

The wave speed is given by:

$v = f\lambda$

Now,

The ratio is given by:

$\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi fy_{m}}{f\lambda}$

$\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi \times 8.4}{5.3} = 9.95$

an athlete whirls an 8.71 kg hammer tied to the end of a 1.5 m chain in a simple horizontal circle where you should ignore any v

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

T = 692.42 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of hammer, m = 8.71 kg

Length of the chain to which an athlete whirls the hammer, r = 1.5 m

The angular sped of the hammer, $\omega=1.16\ rev/s=7.28\ rad/s$

We need to find the tension in the chain. The tension acting in the chain is balanced by the required centripetal force. It is given by the formula as follows :

$F=m\omega^2r\\\\=8.71\times (7.28)^2\times 1.5\\\\=692.42\ N$

So, the tension in the chain is 692.42 N.
