-- Well first of all, the waves are transverse waves. The fibers in the rope, and the hand that generates the waves, are moving up and down, but the wave is moving to the right, towards the wall. These directions are perpendicular.

-- Later on, after the waves reflect from the wall and travel back toward the hand, there are going to be standing waves on the rope. But this is probably beyond the scope of the question.

Five wheels are connected as shown in the figure. Find the velocity of the block “Q”, if it is known that: RA= 5 [m], RB= 10 [m]

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

-5 m/s

Explanation:

The linear velocity of B is equal and opposite the linear velocity of E.

vB = -vE

vB = -ωE rE

10 m/s = -ωE (12 m)

ωE = -0.833 rad/s

The angular velocity of E is the same as the angular velocity of D.

ωE = ωD

ωD = -0.833 rad/s

The linear velocity of Q is the same as the linear velocity of D.

vQ = vD

vQ = ωD rD

vQ = (-0.833 rad/s) (6 m)

vQ = -5 m/s

A force F of magnitude 2x^3 is applied to stop a particle moving with an initial velocity of v0. The particle travels from x=0 t

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

F=2x³

Work is given as

The range of x is from x=0 to x=D

W=-∫f(x)dx

Then,

W=-∫2x³dx from x=0 to x=D

W=- 2x⁴/4 from x=0 to x=D

W=-2(D⁴/4-0/4)

W=-D⁴/2

W=1/2D⁴

The correct answer is F

Show that the effective force constant of a series combination is given by 1keff=1k1+1k2. (Hint: For a given force, the total di

Answer:

1keff=1k1+1k2

see further explanation

Explanation:for clarification

Show that the effective force constant of a series combination is given by 1keff=1k1+1k2. (Hint: For a given force, the total distance stretched by the equivalent single spring is the sum of the distances stretched by the springs in combination. Also, each spring must exert the same force. Do you see why?

From Hooke's law , we know that the force exerted on an elastic object is directly proportional to the extension provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded.

Now the spring is in series combination

F $\alpha$ e

F=ke

k=f/e.........*

where k is the force constant or the constant of proportionality

k=f/e

$f_{eff} =f_{1} +f_{2}$ ............................1

also for effective force constant

divide all through by extension

1) Total force is

Ft=F1+F2

Ft=k1e1+k2e2

F = k(e1+e2) 2)

Since force on the 2 springs is the same, so

k1e1=k2e2

e1=F/k1 and e2=F/k2,

and e1+e2=F/keq

Substituting e1 and e2, you get

1/keq=1/k1+1/k2

Hint: For a given force, the total distance stretched by the equivalent single spring is the sum of the distances stretched by the springs in combination.

Explain why the boiling point of a liquid varies with atmospheric pressure

OLEGan [10]

The boiling point of water, or any liquid, varies according to the surrounding atmospheric pressure. A liquid boils, or begins turning to vapor, when its internal vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure.

Balanced forces can change an object's direction. A. True B. False

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Balanced forces result in a net force of 0N. This means no direction or acceleration change will be applied to the object. A torque may be applied, but with no other external forces, the object will not move.
