What is a period in physics?​

Physics
1 answer:
Citrus2011 [14]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The period of a wave is the time for a particle on a medium to make one complete vibrational cycle. Period, being a time, is measured in units of time such as seconds, hours, days or years. The period of orbit for the Earth around the Sun is approximately 365 days; it takes 365 days for the Earth to complete a cycle.

If 1.4% of the mass of a human body is calcium, how many kilograms of calcium are there in a 195-pound man?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

1.241 kg

Explanation:

The mass of the man in kg is 195 pound * (1/2.2) kg/pound = 195/2.2 = 88.64 kg

If 1.4% of the mass of a human body is calcium, then the mass of calcium inside the 88.64 kg man is

1.4% * 88.64 = 88.64*1.4/100 = 1.241 kg

So there's 1.241 kg of calcium inside a 195-pound man

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

1.  λ = 5.60 m , 2.  T = 5.80 s  3.  v = 0.966 m/s   4.  A = 0.315 m

Explanation:

1. The definition of wavelength is the distance between two consecutive maximums or minimums, so that the wave is repeated, in this case they give us the distance between two consecutive maximums, therefore

    λ = 5.60 m

2. the period is the time it takes for the wave to start repeating itself, going through the same point. They give time to go from the highest point to the lowest point, which is the time for half a wavelength, so the time for a wavelength is

     T = 2 t

     T = 2 2.90

     T = 5.80 s

3. For all waves the speed is the product of the wavelength by the frequency and the frequency is the inverse of the period

    v = λ f

    f = 1 / T

   v =  λ / T

   v = 5.60 / 5.80

   v = 0.966 m / s

4. The amplitude of the wave is the value of the zero displacement point to the maximum displacement point, give the value between the maximum and minimum displacement

     A = d / 2

     A = 0.63 / 2

     A = 0.315 m

An object is swung in a horizontal circle on a length of string that is 0.93 m long. Its acceleration is 26.36 m/s2. What is the
Igoryamba

Answer:

The object takes approximately 1.180 seconds to complete one horizontal circle.  

Explanation:

From statement we know that the object is experimenting an Uniform Circular Motion, in which acceleration (a), measured in meters per square second, is entirely centripetal and is expressed as:

a = \frac{4\pi^{2}\cdot R}{T^{2}} (1)

Where:

T - Period of rotation, measured in seconds.

R - Radius of rotation, measured in meters.

If we know that a = 26.36\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and R = 0.93\,m, then the time taken by the object to complete one revolution is:

T^{2} = \frac{4\pi^{2}\cdot R}{a}

T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{R}{a} }

T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{0.93\,m}{26.36\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} } }

T \approx 1.180\,s

The object takes approximately 1.180 seconds to complete one horizontal circle.

A positive point charge (q = +5.45 x 10-8 C) is surrounded by an equipotential surface A, which has a radius of rA = 1.49 m. A p
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

r_{B} = 3.34\ m

Solution:

As per the question:

Point charge, q = 5.45\times 10^{- 8}\ C

Test charge, q_{o} = 4.96\times 10^{- 11}\ C

Work done by the electric force, W_{AB} = - 9.05\times 10^{- 9}\ J

Now,

We know that the electric potential at a point is given by:

V = \frac{kqq'}{r}

where

r = separation distance between the charges.

Also,

The work done by the electric force i moving a test charge from point A to B in an electric field:

W_{AB} = kqq_{o}(\frac{1}{r_{B} - \frac{1}{r_{A}}}

- 9.05\times 10^{- 9} = 9\times 10^{9}\times 5.45\times 10^{- 8}\times 4.96\times 10^{- 11}(\frac{1}{r_{B}} - \frac{1}{1.49}}

- 0.3719 = (\frac{1}{r_{B}} - 0.67}

r_{B} = \frac{1}{0.299} = 3.34\ m
