Answer:

Explanation:

equation of wave is given by the following equation

y = (2.6 cm) sin[1.8 - (5.8 s-1)t].

Comparing it with standard form of wave

y = A sin ( ωt - kx )

we get

ω = 5.8

2πn = 5.8

n = .92 per second

kx = 1.8

k x 6 = 1.8

k = 0.3

$\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$ = 0.3

λ = 20.9 cm

Kaylis [27]

<span>The velocity will be 41.25 m/s2 after 9 seconds. To find velocity after a specific time period, multiply the acceleration (2.75) times the number of seconds (9) to receive 24.75 m/s, then add that to the initial velocity of 16.5 m/s. 24.75 + 16.5 = 41.25 m/s2.</span>

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Just as distance and displacement have distinctly different meanings (despite their similarities), so do speed and velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. A fast-moving object has a high speed and covers a relatively large distance in a short amount of time. Contrast this to a slow-moving object that has a low speed; it covers a relatively small amount of distance in the same amount of time. An object with no movement at all has a zero speed.

The wind speed increased but in the same direction.
It is A/1 because the wind speed did increase and it is still going the same way clockwise because it also did not move that much.

What is the (magnitude of the) centripetal acceleration (as a multiple of g=9.8~\mathrm{m/s^2}g=9.8 m/s 2 ) towards the Eart

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration as a multiple of $g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is $1.020x10^{-3}m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is defined as:

$a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}$ (1)

Where v is the velocity and r is the radius

Since the person is standing in the Earth surfaces, their velocity will be the same of the Earth. That one can be determined by means of the orbital velocity:

$v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}$ (2)

Where r is the radius and T is the period.

For this case the person is standing at a latitude $71.9^{\circ}$ . Remember that the latitude is given from the equator. The configuration of this system is shown in the image below.

It is necessary to use the radius at the latitude given. That radius can be found by means of trigonometric.

$\cos \theta = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

$\cos \theta = \frac{r_{71.9^{\circ}}}{r_{e}}$ (3)

Where $r_{71.9^{\circ}}$ is the radius at the latitude of $71.9^{\circ}$ and $r_{e}$ is the radius at the equator ( $6.37x10^{6}m$ ).

$r_{71.9^{\circ}}$ can be isolated from equation 3:

$r_{71.9^{\circ}} = r_{e} \cos \theta$ (4)

$r_{71.9^{\circ}} = (6.37x10^{6}m) \cos (71.9^{\circ})$

$r_{71.9^{\circ}} = 1.97x10^{6} m$

Then, equation 2 can be used

$v = \frac{2 \pi (1.97x10^{6} m)}{24h}$

Notice that the period is the time that the Earth takes to give a complete revolution (24 hours), this period will be expressed in seconds for a better representation of the velocity.

$T = 24h . \frac{3600s}{1h}$ ⇒ $84600s$

$v = \frac{2 \pi (1.97x10^{6} m)}{84600s}$

$v = 146.31m/s$

Finally, equation 1 can be used:

$a = \frac{(146.31m/s)^{2}}{(1.97x10^{6}m)}$

$a = 0.010m/s^{2}$

Hence, the centripetal acceleration is $0.010m/s^{2}$

To given the centripetal acceleration as a multiple of $g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ it is gotten:

$\frac{0.010m/s^{2}}{9.8 m/s^{2}} = 1.020x10^{-3}m/s^{2}$
