Answer:
A = 2 cm
, λ = 8 cm
Explanation:
The amplitude of a wave is the maximum height it has, in this case the height is measured by the vertical ruler,
We are told the balance point is in the reading of 5 cm, that the maximum reading is 3 cm and the Minimum reading is 7 cm. Therefore, the distance from the ends of the ridge to the point of equilibrium is
d = 7-5 = 2 cm
d = 5-3 = 2 cm
A = 2 cm
The wavelength is the minimum horizontal distance for which the wave is repeated, that is measured by the horizontal ruler.
The initial reading for 4 cm and the final reading for 8 cm, this distance corresponds to a crest of the wave, the complete wave is formed by two crests whereby the wavelength is twice this value
Δx = 8-4 = 4 cm
λ = 2 Δx
λ = 8 cm
The convection currents would come from the exterior core and they would travel through the mantle and eventually through the core
Answer: a) The acceletarion is directed to the center on the turntable. b) 5 cm; ac= 0.59 m/s^2; 10 cm, ac=1.20 m/s^2; 14 cm, ac=1.66 m/s^2
Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to consider teh expression of the centripetal accelartion for a circular movement, which is given by:
ac=ω^2*r where ω and r are the angular speed and teh radios of the circular movement.
w=2*π*f
We know that the turntable is set to 33 1/3 rev/m so
the frequency 33.33/60=0.55 Hz
then w=2*π*0.55=3.45 rad/s
Finally the centripetal acceleration at differents radii results equal:
r= 0.05 m ac=3.45^2*0.05=0.50 m/s^2
r=0.1 ac=3.45^2*0.1=1.20 m/s^2
r=0.14 ac=3.45^2*0.14=1.66 m/s^2
