Why do waves slow down?

true or false:acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path is called gravitational acceleration.

nalin [4]

Nope. It's called 'centripetal' acceleration. The force that created it MAY be gravitational, but it doesn't have to be. For things on the surface of the Earth moving in circles, it's never gravity.

What keeps an inflated balloon from falling down if you rub it against your hair and place it against a wall? 1. rubbing distort

2 because when you are doing this it causes friction Which then cause the balloon to stick

A car approaches you at a constant speed, sounding its horn, and you hear a frequency of 76 Hz. After the car goes by, you hear

Talja [164]

Answer:

70.07 Hz

Explanation:

Since the sound is moving away from the observer then

$f_o = f_s\frac {(v+vs)}{v}$ and $f_o = f_s\frac {(v-vs)}{v}$ when moving towards observer

With $f_o$ of 76 then taking speed in air as 343 m/s we have

$76 = f_s\times\frac {(343-vs)}{343}$

$f_s=\frac {343\times 76}{343-v_s}$

Similarly, with $f_o$ of 65 we have

$65 = f_s\times\frac {(343+vs)}{343}\\f_s=\frac {343\times 65}{343+v_s}$

Now

$f_s=\frac {343\times 65}{343+v_s}=\frac {343\times 76}{343-v_s}$

v_s=27.76 m/s

Substituting the above into any of the first two equations then we obtain

$f_s=70.07 Hz$

An astronaut circling the earth at an altitude of 400 km is horrified to discover that a cloud of space debris is moving in the

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

One of the essential concepts to solve this problem is the utilization of the equations of centripetal and gravitational force.

From them it will be possible to find the speed of the body with which the estimated time can be calculated through the kinematic equations of motion. At the same time for the calculation of this speed it is necessary to clarify that this will remain twice the ship, because as we know by relativity, when moving in the same magnitude but in the opposite direction, with respect to the ship the debris will be double speed.

By equilibrium the centrifugal force and the gravitational force are equal therefore

$F_c = F_g$
