Answer:

6

Explanation:

Average velocity = (change in position) / (change in time)

Therefore, (18-3) / 2.5 = 6

As the amplitude of a mechanical wave increases, which of the following quantities

Lisa [10]

.c ...energy

Explanation:

Amplitude does not affect wavelength. It also does not affect wave speed. Amplitude is the energy of the wave measured from the rest position to the top of the crest. A wave with more energy has a higher up crest/ higher amplitude.

1. What is the potential energy of a 4-kilogram potted plant that is on a 1 meter-high plant

Yuri [45]

39.2 J

Explanation:

Step 1:

To find the potential energy the following formula is used.

Potential Energy = m × g × h

Where,

m = Mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

h = Height

Step 2:

Here m = 4 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², h = 1 m

Potential Energy = ( 4 × 9.8 × 1)

= 39.2 J

Describe the motion of a swing that requires 6 seconds to complete one cycle. What is its period and the frequency? Round to the

shutvik [7]

Period = 6 seconds and $frequency = 0.167Hz$ .

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have , the motion of a swing that requires 6 seconds to complete one cycle. Period is the amount of time needed to complete one oscillation . And in question it's given that 6 seconds is needed to complete one cycle. Hence ,Period of the motion of a swing is 6 seconds . Frequency is the number of vibrations produced per second and is calculated with the formula of $\frac{1}{t}$ . SI unit of frequency is Hertz or Hz. We know that time period is 6 seconds so frequency = $\frac{1}{t}$

⇒ $frequency = \frac{1}{time}$

⇒ $frequency = \frac{1}{6}$

⇒ $frequency = 0.167Hz$

Therefore , Period = 6 seconds and $frequency = 0.167Hz$ .

A motorboat maintained a constant speed of 15 miles per hour relative to the water in going 10 miles upstream and then returning

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

speed of current is 5 mile/hr

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

speed of motorboat = 15 miles/hr relative with water

let c is speed of current

15-c is speed of boat at upstream

15+c is speed of boat at downstream

we know that

travel time=distance/speed

$\frac{10}{15-c} +\frac{10}{15+c} = 1.5$

150+10c+150-10c=1.5(15-c)(15+c)

300=1.5(225-c^2)

300=337.5-1.5c^2

200=225-c^2

c^2=25

c = 5

so speed of current is 5 mile/hr
