True or false? All waves need a medium in order to travel

Art [367]

That's false. Mechanical waves (like sound and ocean waves) do
need a medium to travel in, but electromagnetic waves (like radio
and light) don't.

A box is being moved with a velocity (v) by a force P (parallel to v) along a level horizontal floor. The normal force is (Fn),

labwork [276]

Answer:

Force (P) : Positive

Normal Force (Fn) : Zero

Weight (mg) : Zero

Kinetic Frictional Force (fk) : Negative

Explanation:

The work done by a force on an object is given by the following formula:

W = F.d

W = F d Cosθ

where,

W = Work Done

f = Force Applied

d = displacement

θ = Angle between force and displacement

FOR FORCE (P):

Since, force P is parallel to the motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 0°

Hence,

W = P d Cos 0°

W = P d(1)

W = Pd

Therefore, work done by force (P) is Positive.

FOR NORMAL FORCE (Fn) AND WEIGHT (W):

Since, normal force and weight are perpendicular to the motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 90°

Hence,

W = Fn d Cos 90°= mg d Cos 90°

W = Fn d(0) = mg d (0)

W = 0

Therefore, work done by Normal Force (Fn) and Weight (mg) is Zero.

FOR KINETIC FRICTIONAL FORCE (fk):

Since, kinetic frictional force acts in the opposite direction of motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 180°

Hence,

W = fk d Cos 180°

W = fk d(-1)

W = -fk d

Therefore, work done by Kinetic Frictional Force (fk) is Negative.

If an object is projected upward from ground level with an initial velocity of 144144 ft per sec, then its height in feet after

Liula [17]

Answer:

4.5 s, 324 ft

Explanation:

The object is projected upward with an initial velocity of

$v_0 = 144 ft/s$

The equation that describes its height at time t is

$s(t) = -16t^2 + 144 t$ (1)

where t, the time, is measured in seconds.

In order to find the time it takes for the object to reach the maximum height, we must find an expression for its velocity at time t, which can be found by calculating the derivative of the position, s(t):

$v(t) = s'(t) = -32t +144$ (2)

At the maximum heigth, the vertical velocity is zero:

v(t) = 0

Substituting into the equation above, we find the corresponding time at which the object reaches the maximum height:

$0=-32t+144\\t=\frac{144}{32}=4.5 s$

And by substituting this value into eq.(1), we also find the maximum height:

$s(t) = -16(4.5)^2+144(4.5)=324 ft$
