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.

A Van de Graaff generator causes a total charge q to build up on a metal sphere of radius r. Which variable does not affect the
Maru [420]

Answer:

The radius r of the metal sphere.

Explanation:

From Gauss's law we know that for a spherical charge distribution with charge Q, the electrical field at distance R from the center of the sphere is given by

E=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_oR^2}

What is important to notice here is that the radius of the sphere does not matter because any test charge sitting at distance R feels the force as if all the charge Q were sitting at the center of the sphere.

This situation is analogous to the gravitational field. When calculating gravitational force due to a body like the sun or the earth, we take not of only the mass of the sun and the distance from it's center; the sun's radius does not matter because we assume all of its mass to be concentrated at the center.

Write the equation that links current, potential difference, and resistance
mrs_skeptik [129]

You can write the equation in 3 different ways, depending on which quantity you want to be the dependent variable.  Any one of the three forms can be derived from either of the other two with a simple algebra operation.  They're all the same relationship, described by "Ohm's Law".

==> Current = (potential difference) / (resistance)

==> Potential difference = (current) x (resistance)

==> Resistance = (potential difference) / (resistance)
