However instead of crests and troughs, longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions. Compression. A compression is a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together. Rarefaction. A rarefaction is a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are furthest apart.
Complete question is;
A rocket ship starts from rest and turns on its forward booster rockets, causing it to have a constant acceleration of 4 m/s² rightward. After 3s, what will be the velocity of the rocket ship?
Answer:
v = 12 m/s
Explanation:
We are given;
Initial velocity; u = 0 m/s (because ship starts from rest)
Acceleration; a = 4 m/s²
Time; t = 3 s
To find velocity after 3 s, we will use Newton's first equation of motion;
v = u + at
v = 0 + (4 × 3)
v = 12 m/s
X Represents the distance the spring is stretched or compressed away from its equilibrium or rest position.
Answer:
Explanation:
Initial height from the ground = .41 m
Final height = 1m
Height by which Kelli was raised ( h )= .59 m
When she passes through the lowest point , she loses P E
= mgh
= 440 x .59
= 259.6 J
kinetic energy possessed by her
= 1/2 mv²
= .5 x (440/9.8) x 2²
= 89.8 J
Difference of energy is lost due to work by air friction
work done by friction = 89.8 - 259.6
= - 169.8 J
