We have seen that when you generate a wave on a stretched spring, as long as the medium doesn’t change (that is, the tension and

the linear mass density remain the same), the speed of the wave on the spring is constant. Does this mean that the particles of the spring always have zero acceleration? Explain why or why not.

Answer:

No, the acceleration is not always zero.

Explanation:

It does not mean that the acceleration of the particle is zero.

The velocity of wave is different from the velocity of particle.

The acceleration of wave is different from the acceleration of particle.

the acceleration of the particle is given by

a =- w^2 y

where, w is the angular frequency and y is the displacement from the mean position.

So, the acceleration is zero at mean position only and it varies as the position changes.

Which wave has a longer period and how many times, the wave with a frequency of 7000Hz or the wave with a frequency of 21.000Hz?
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

I would say the answer is the wave of 21.000Hz

Explanation:

Because it has more frequency, and as more frequency you add, the time or longer period also increases.

A vector quantity must include both magnitude and direction. Which measurement is a vector quantity? A) the rain accumulation at
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

B)The motion of water in an ocean current

Explanation:

With respect to measurements, a vector has both a magnitude and a direction. The first three examples (maximum height of a hill, air temperature, and rain accumulation) are magnitudes only. The fourth example (motion of water in an ocean current) is a vector, because it has a magnitude (speed) and a direction (with the current).

What step of the rock cycle happens as the sea stacks are broken down
fiasKO [112]

But rocks are not unchangeable! Just like the water cycle, rocks undergo changes of form in a rock cycle. A metamorphic rock can become an igneous rock, or a sedimentary rock can become a metamorphic one. Unlike the water cycle, you can’t see the process happening on a day-to-day basis. Rocks change very slowly under normal conditions, but sometimes catastrophic events like a volcanic eruption or a flood can speed up the process. So what are the three types of rocks, and how do they change into each other? Keep reading to find out!

Which has more gravitaatoinal potental energy: a bird on the ground or the same bird in the tree? why?
julsineya [31]
The same bird on the tree has more gravitational potential energy. This is because it is at a higher distance from the ground as it is on the tree, than when it is on the ground.

Considering also the formula for Gravitational Potential Energy GPE = mgh

For the bird on the ground, h =0,  therefore GPE = m*9.8*0 = 0

For that on the tree = mgh = m*9.8*h

Of course the one on the tree has a value greater than zero.
