Which property of waves is the distance between one point on a wave and that same point on the wave next to it?

1 answer:

6 0

The correct answer is "wavelength". In fact, the wavelength of a wave is defined as the distance between two consecutive corresponding points of the wave: for instance, the distance between two consecutive crests, or the distance between two consecutive throughs.

A 3.91 kg cart is moving at 5.7 m/s when it collides with a 4 kg cart which was at rest. They collide and stick together.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The velocity after the collision is 2.82 m/s

Explanation:

Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum

It states the total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and speed v is

P=mv.

If we have a system of two bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of the individual momentums:

$P=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

If a collision occurs and the velocities change to v', the final momentum is:

$P'=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2$

Since the total momentum is conserved, then:

P = P'

Or, equivalently:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2$

If both masses stick together after the collision at a common speed v', then:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v'$

The common velocity after this situation is:

$\displaystyle v'=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}$

There is an m1=3.91 kg car moving at v1=5.7 m/s that collides with an m2=4 kg cart that was at rest v2=0.

After the collision, both cars stick together. Let's compute the common speed after that:

$\displaystyle v'=\frac{3.91*5.7+4*0}{3.91+4}$

$\displaystyle v'=\frac{22.287}{7.91}$

$\boxed{v' = 2.82\ m/s}$

The velocity after the collision is 2.82 m/s

a hawk flies in a horizontal arc of radius 10.3 m at a constant speed of 4.8 m/s. find its centripetal acceleration. answer in u

n200080 [17]

The hawk’s centripetal acceleration is 2.23 m/s²

The magnitude of the acceleration under new conditions is 2.316 m/s²

radius of the horizontal arc = 10.3 m

the initial constant speed = 4.8 m/s

we know that the centripetal acceleration is given by

$a_{c}$ = $\frac{v^{2} }{r}$

$a_{c}$ = 23.04/10.3

$a_{c}$ = 2.23 m/s²

It continues to fly but now with some tangential acceleration

$a_{t}$ = 0.63 m/s²

therefore the net value of acceleration is given by the resultant of the centripetal acceleration and the tangential acceleration

$a_{net}$ = $\sqrt{a_{c} ^{2} +a_{t} ^{2} }$

$a_{net}$ = $\sqrt{4.97 + 0.396}$

$a_{net}$ = 2.316 m/s²

So the magnitude of net acceleration will become 2.316 m/s².

Alternating Current In Europe, the voltage of the alternating current coming through an electrical outlet can be modeled by the

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

$\frac{50}{\pi }$ Hz

Explanation:

In alternating current (AC) circuits, voltage (V) oscillates in a sine wave pattern and has a general equation as a function of time (t) as follows;

V(t) = V sin (ωt + Ф) -----------------(i)

Where;

V = amplitude value of the voltage

ω = angular frequency = 2 π f [f = cyclic frequency or simply, frequency]

Ф = phase difference between voltage and current.

Now,

From the question,

V(t) = 230 sin (100t) ---------------(ii)

By comparing equations (i) and (ii) the following holds;

V = 230

ω = 100

Ф = 0

But;

ω = 2 π f = 100

2 π f = 100 [divide both sides by 2]

π f = 50

f = $\frac{50}{\pi }$ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the voltage is $\frac{50}{\pi }$ Hz
