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

a=5000\dfrac{mm}{s}=5\dfrac{m}{s}

f=10{Hz}\Longrightarrow t=\dfrac{1}{10}s

a_{max}=\dfrac{50\frac{m}{s}}{\frac{s}{10}}\cdot\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\dfrac{50\dfrac{m}{s^2}}{\sqrt{2}}\approx\boxed{35.4\dfrac{m}{s^2}}

Hope this helps.

A square is 1.0 m on a side. Point charges of +4.0 μC are placed in two diagonally opposite corners. In the other two corners ar
finlep [7]

Answer:

<em>B) 1.0 × 10^5 V</em>

Explanation:

<u>Electric Potential Due To Point Charges </u>

The electric potential produced from a point charge Q at a distance r from the charge is

\displaystyle V=k\frac{Q}{r}

The total electric potential for a system of point charges is equal to the sum of their individual potentials. This is a scalar sum, so direction is not relevant.

We must compute the total electric potential in the center of the square. We need to know the distance from all the corners to the center. The diagonal of the square is

d=\sqrt2 a

where a is the length of the side.

The distance from any corner to the center is half the diagonal, thus

\displaystyle r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}

\displaystyle r=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=0.707\ m

The total potential is  

V_t=V_1+V_2+V_3+V_4

Where V1 and V2 are produced by the +4\mu C charges and V3 and V4 are produced by the two opposite charges of \pm 3\mu\ C. Since all the distances are equal, and the charges producing V3 and V4 are opposite, V3 and V4 cancel each other. We only need to compute V1 or V2, since they are equal, but they won't cancel.

\displaystyle V_1=V_2=k\frac{Q}{r}=9\times 10^9 \frac{4\times 10^{-6}}{0.707}

V_1=V_2=50912\ V

The total potential is

V_t=50912\ V+50912\ V=1\times 10^5\ V

\boxed{V_t=1\times 10^5\ V}
