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.

What would you say to a friend who made this statement, “The visible-light spectrum of the Sun shows weak hydrogen lines and str
Oliga [24]

Explanation:

spectral lines or signatures of elements depend on temperature, the temperature of the sun is about 5800 K.

at this temperature most calcium atoms are excited to higher energy states than hydrogen atoms and this means that calcium atoms are gonna have more signatures than the atoms of hydrogen.

the statement that the sun shows weak hyrogen lines and strong calcium line is wrong because at the sun's temperature most of the hydrogen atoms are in lower energy states while calcium atoms are in higher energy states hence calcium has more or ''strong'' lines than hydrogen.

Average velocity = (x( 2.08 ) - x ( 0 )) / ( 2.08 s - 0 s )
x ( 2.08 ) = 1.42 * 2.08² - 0.05 * 2.08³ =
= 1.42 * 4.3264 - 0.443456 = 6.143484 - 0.443456 ≈ 5.7 m
v = ( 5.7 m - 0 m) / (2.08 s - 0 s ) = 5.7 / 2.08 m/s = 27.4 m/s

A 5.0 kg wooden block is in free fall at 10 m/s. What is the Kinetic Energy for the wooden block?
andre [41]

Answer:

250 J

Explanation:

Apply the formula:

K = 1/2.m.v²

K = 1/2.5.10²

K = 1/2.5.100

K = 5.50

K = 250 Joules

But, remember that if the speed is accelerating or not, if it is, then we need to know the point in time that the question is asking for the Kinetic Energy.

In this case, I think it is just a constant speed.
