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 block rides on a piston that is moving vertically with simple harmonic motion. (a) If the SHM has period 2.68 s, at what ampli
fredd [130]

Answer:

Part a)

A = 1.78 m

Part b)

f = 2 rev/s

Explanation:

Part A)

As we know that time period of the motion is given as

T = 2.68 s

so we have

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{2.68}

\omega = 2.34 rad/s

now at the point of maximum amplitude the force equation when Normal force is about to zero is given as

mg = m\omega^2 A

so we have

A = \frac{g}{\omega^2}

A = \frac{9.81}{2.34^2}

A = 1.78 m

Part b)

Now if the amplitude of the SHM is 6.23 cm

and now at this amplitude if object will lose the contact then in that case again we have

mg = m\omega^2 A

g = \omega^2 (0.0623)

\omega = 12.5 rad/s

so now we have

2\pi f = 12.5

f = 2 rev/s

Consider two particles A and B. The angular position of particle A, with constant angular acceleration, depends on time accordin
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

θ = θ₀ + ½ w₀ (t -t_1) + α (t -t_1)²

Explanation:

This is an angular kinematic exercise the equation for the angular position

the particle A

       θ = θ₀ + ω₀ t + ½ α t²

They say for the particle B

     w₀B = ½ w₀

     αB = 2 α

In addition, the particle begins at a time t_1 after particle A, in order to use the same timer, we must subtract this time from the initial

      t´ = t - t_1

l

et's write the equation of particle B

      θ = θ₀ + w₀B t´ + ½ αB t´2

replace

     θ = θ₀ + ½ w₀ (t -t_1) + ½ 2α (t -t_1)²

     θ = θ₀ + ½ w₀ (t -t_1) + α (t -t_1)²

If you measured all the energy related to motion and all the stored energy in the particles of a substance, which would you be m
Nady [450]

If you measured all the energy related to motion and all the stored energy in the particles of a substance, you would be measuring the thermal energy of the particles. If there is movement of the particles, they are also releasing energy in the form of heat.

If many household substances classify as acids or bases what is the ph scale
bekas [8.4K]

Answer: Some household items that contain acids include: yogurt, vinegar,lemon juice, citric acid, apples, jelly, pineapples, cranberry sauce, milk, and batteries and In chemistry, pH is a scale used to specify how acidic or basic a water-based solution is. Acidic solutions have a lower pH, while basic solutions have a higher pH. At room temperature, pure water is neither acidic nor basic and has a pH of 7.
