Answer:

Amplitude—distance between the resting position and the maximum displacement of the wave

Frequency—number of waves passing by a specific point per second

Period—time it takes for one wave cycle to complete

wavelength λ - the distance between adjacent identical parts of a wave, parallel to the direction of propagation.

Tension - described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object, or by each end of a rod, truss member, or similar three-dimensional object

50g of ice at 0°C is mixed with 50g of water at 80°C, what will be the final temperature of a mixture in

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

0° C

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of ice, m = 50g

Mass of water, m(w) = 50g

Temperature of ice, T(i) = 0° C

Temperature of water, T(w) = 80° C

Also, it is known that

Specific heat of water, c = 1 cal/g/°C

Latent heat of ice, L(w) = 89 cal/g

Let us assume T to be the final temperature of mixture.

This makes the energy balance equation:

Heat gained by ice to change itself into water + heat gained by melted ice(water) to raise its temperature at T° C = heat lost by water to reach at T° C

m(i).L(i) + m(i).c(w)[T - 0] = m(w).c(w)[80 - T], on substituting, we have

50 * 80 + 50 * 1(T - 0) = 50 * 1(80 - T)

4000 + 50T = 4000 - 50T

0 = 100 T

T = 0° C

Thus, the final temperature is 0° C

(a) what will an object weigh on the moon's surface if it weighs 100 n on earth's surface

juin [17]

We know the equation

weight = mass × gravity

To work out the weight on the moon, we will need its mass, and the gravitational field strength of the moon.
Remember that your weight can change, but mass stays constant.

So using the information given about the earth weight, we can find the mass by substituting 100N for weight, and we know the gravity on earth is 10Nm*2 (Use the gravitational field strength provided by your school, I am assuming yours in 10Nm*2)

Therefore,

100N = mass × 10
mass= 100N/10
mass= 10 kg

Now, all we need are the moon's gravitational field strength and to apply this to the equation

weight = 10kg × (gravity on moon)

1. A 2.5 kg led projector is launched as a projectile off a tall building. At one point, as it

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

I got everything but i. Don't know why but it's eluding me. So let's do everything but that.

a. PE = mgh so

PE = (2.5)(98)(14) and

PE = 340 J

b. $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ so

$KE=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)(14)^2$ and

KE = 250 J

c. TE = KE + PE so

TE = 340 + 250 and

TE = 590 J

d. PE at 8.7 m:

PE = (2.5)(9.8)(8.7) and

PE = 210 J

e. The KE at the same height:

TE = KE + PE and

590 = KE + 210 so

KE = 380 J

f. The velocity at that height:

$380=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)v^2$ and

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(380)}{2.5} }$ so

v = 17 m/s

g. The velocity at a height of 11.6 m (these get a bit more involed as we move forward!). First we need to find the PE at that height and then use it in the TE equation to solve for KE, then use the value for KE in the KE equation to solve for velocity:

590 = KE + PE and

PE = (2.5)(9.8)(11.6) so

PE = 280 then

590 = KE + 280 so

KE = 310 then

$310=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)v^2$ and

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(310)}{2.5} }$ so

v = 16 m/s

h. This one is a one-dimensional problem not using the TE. This one uses parabolic motion equations. We know that the initial velocity of this object was 0 since it started from the launcher. That allows us to find the time at which the object was at a velocity of 26 m/s. Let's do that first:

$v=v_0+at$ and

26 = 0 + 9.8t and

26 = 9.8t so the time at 26 m/s is

t = 2.7 seconds. Now we use that in the equation for displacement:

Δx = $v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ and filling in the time the object was at 26 m/s:

Δx = 0t + $\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)2.7)^2$ so

Δx = 36 m

i. ??? In order to find the velocity at which the object hits the ground we would need to know the initial height so we could find the time it takes to hit the ground, and then from there, sub all that in to find final velocity. In my estimations, we have 2 unknowns and I can't seem to see my way around that connundrum.

What is the purpose of experimentation in a research study

Nat2105 [25]

Hello,

The answer is to "prove your hypothesis".

Reason:

Researchers do experiments to prove there hypothesis they will most likely do the experiment a few times in older to have the conclusion valid therefore proving his or her experiment.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!
