To what does the amplitude of a sound refer to?

Physics

Answer:

The number of molecules displaced by a vibration creates the amplitude of a sound. The strength or level of sound pressure. The number of molecules in the sound wave in b is greater than the number in the sound wave in a, therefore the amplitude of the sound wave in b is greater.

Describe how to measure the internal diameter of a beaker using a Vernier caliper?

n200080 [17]

Answer:

Hope it helps..

Explanation:

Let n be the number of the vernier scale division which coincides with the main scale division. Rotate the vernier caliper 90° and repeat the steps 4 and 5 for measuring the internal diameter in perpendicular direction. To measure the depth, find the total reading and zero correction.

A ball is launched with initial speed v from ground level up a frictionless slope (This means the ball slides up the slope witho

amid [387]

Answer:

hmax = 1/2 · v²/g

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to the conservation of energy and since there is no dissipative force (like friction) all the kinetic energy (KE) of the ball has to be converted into gravitational potential energy (PE) when the ball comes to stop.

KE = PE

Where KE is the initial kinetic energy and PE is the final potential energy.

The kinetic energy of the ball is calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the ball

v = velocity.

The potential energy is calculated as follows:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the ball.

g = acceleration due to gravity (known value: 9.81 m/s²).

h = height.

At the maximum height, the potential energy is equal to the initial kinetic energy because the energy is conserved, i.e, all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy (there was no energy dissipation as heat because there was no friction). Then:

PE = KE

m · g · hmax = 1/2 · m · v²

Solving for hmax:

hmax = 1/2 · v² / g

Stress distributed over an area is best described as: a) External force b) Axial force c) Radial force d) Internal resistive for

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Stress is the force per unit area that tend to change the shape of body.

Stress is defined as internal resistive force per unit area.

$\texttt{Stress}=\frac{\texttt{Internal resistive force}}{\texttt{Area}}$

$\sigma =\frac{F}{A}$

So, so stress distributed over an area is best described as internal resistive force.

Option D is the correct answer.

A 2.5-kg ball and a 5.0-kg ball have an elastic collision. Before the collision, the 2.5-kg ball was at rest and the other ball

lesantik [10]

The kinetic energy of 2.5 kg ball after collision is 27.09 J.

Answer:

Explanation:

In elastic collision, the sum of momentum of the objects before collision will be equal to the sum of momentum of the objects after collision.

We know that momentum is the product of mass and velocity acting on any object.

So, the conservation of energy in elastic collision leads to following equation:

$M_{1} u_{1} +M_{2} u_{2}=M_{1} v_{1}+M_{2} v_{2}$
