Answer:

Wavelength

Explanation:

The wavelength of a transverse wave (where the oscillation occurs perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave) is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests ot two consecutive troughs.

In a longitudinal wave, where the oscillation occurs parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave, the wavelength is defined as the distance between two consecutive compressions or between two consecutive rarefactions.

Other important definitions for a wave are:

- Frequency: the number of complete cycles per second

- Period: the time needed for one complete cycle to occur

- Amplitude: the distance between the equilibrium position and the maximum displacement of the wave

Help please, I don't get it

Answers:

a) $\hat F=(0.83,-0.55) N$

b) $\hat D=(-0.44,-0.89) m$

c) $\hat V=(-0.47,0.88) m/s$

Explanation:

A unit vector is a vector whose magnitude (length) is equal to 1. This kind of vector is identified as $\hat v$ and the way to calculate is as follows:

$\hat v=\frac{\vec v}{|v|}$

Where:

$\vec v=(x,y)$ is the vector

$|v|=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$ is the magnitude of the vector

Having this information clarified, let's begin with the answers:

a) Force Vector

$\vec F=(9.0 \hat i - 6.0 \hat j) N$

Magnitude of $\vec F$ :

$|F|=\sqrt{(9.0 \hat i)^{2}+(-6.0 \hat j)^{2 }}N=10.81 N$

<u />

<u>Unit vector:</u>

$\hat F=\frac{\vec F}{|F|}$

$\hat F=\frac{(9.0 \hat i - 6.0 \hat j) N}{10.81 N}$

$\hat F=\frac{9.0}{10.81} N-\frac{6.0}{10.81}N$

$\hat F=(0.83,-0.55) N$

b) Displacement Vector

$\vec D=(-4.0 \hat i - 8.0 \hat j) m$

Magnitude of $\vec D$ :

$|D|=\sqrt{(-4.0 \hat i)^{2}+(-8.0 \hat j)^{2 }}m=8.94 m$

<u />

<u>Unit vector:</u>

$\hat D=\frac{\vec D}{|D|}$

$\hat D=\frac{(-4.0 \hat i - 8.0 \hat j) m}{8.94 m}$

$\hat D=\frac{-4.0}{8.94} Nm+\frac{-8.0}{8.94}m$

$\hat D=(-0.44,-0.89) m$

c) Velocity Vector

$\vec V=(-3.50 \hat i + 6.50 \hat j) m/s$

Magnitude of $\vec V$ :

$|V|=\sqrt{(-3.50 \hat i)^{2}+(6.50 \hat j)^{2}}m/s=7.38 m/s$

<u />

<u>Unit vector:</u>

$\hat V=\frac{\vec V}{|V|}$

$\hat V=\frac{(-3.50 \hat i +6.50 \hat j) m/s}{7.38 m/s}$

$\hat V=\frac{-3.50}{7.38} m/s+\frac{6.50}{7.38}m/s$

$\hat V=(-0.47,0.88) m/s$

Suppose a star the size of our Sun, but with mass 9.0 times as great, were rotating at a speed of 1.0 revolution every 7.0 days.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

Its rotation will be 3.89x10⁴ rad/s.

Explanation:

We can find the rotation speed by conservation of the angular momentum:

$L_{i} = L_{f}$

$I_{i}\omega_{i} = I_{f}\omega_{f}$ (1)

The initial angular speed is:

$\omega_{i} = \frac{1 rev}{7 d} = 0.14 \frac{rev}{d}$

The moment of inertia (I) of a sphere is:

$I = \frac{2}{5}mr^{2}$ (2)

Where m is 9 times the sun's mass and r is the sun's radius

By entering equation (2) into (1) we have:

$\frac{2}{5}m_{i}r_{i}^{2}\omega_{i} = \frac{2}{5}m_{f}r_{f}^{2}\omega_{f}$

$9m_{sun}(696342 km)^{2}0.14\frac{rev}{d} = \frac{3}{4}9m_{sun}(13 km)^{2}\omega_{f}$

$\omega_{f} = \frac{4}{3}*0.14 \frac{rev}{d}(\frac{696342 km}{13 km})^{2} = 5.36 \cdot 10^{8} \frac{rev}{d}*\frac{1 d}{24 h}*\frac{1 h}{3600 s}*\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev} = 3.89 \cdot 10^{4} rad/s$

Hence, its rotation will be 3.89x10⁴ rad/s.

I hope it helps you!

A 56.6-kg crate rests on a level floor at a shipping dock. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.517 and 0.260,

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnitude of frictional force = μ mg

μ is either static or kinetic friction.

To start the crate moving , static friction is calculated .

a ) To start crate moving , force required = μ mg where μ is coefficient of static friction .

force required =.517 x 56.6 x 9.8 = 286.76 N .

b ) to slide the crate across the dock at a constant speed , force required

= μ mg where μ is coefficient of kinetic friction , where μ is kinetic friction

= .26 x 56.6 x 9.8 = 144.21 N .
