Answer:

Explanation:

A transverse wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the direction that the wave moves. Suppose that a slinky is stretched out in a horizontal direction across the classroom and that a pulse is introduced into the slinky on the left end by vibrating the first coil up and down.

aev [14]

Answer:

$x_2=1.60m$

Explanation:

From the Question We are told that

Initial Force $F_1=5800N$

Final Force $F_2=6500N$

Distance between the front and rear wheels \triangle x=3.20 m

Since

$\triangle x=3.20 m$

Therefore

$x_1+x_2=3.20$

$x_1=3.20-x_2$

Generally the equation for The center of mass is at x_2 is mathematically

given by

$x_2 =\frac{(F_1x_1+F_2x_2)}{(F_1+F_2)}$

$x_2=3.20F_1-\frac{x_2F_1+F_2x_2}{(F_1+F_2)}$

$2*F_1*x_2 =3.20F_1$

$x_2=1.60m$

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of the torque is 263.5 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Applied force = 31 N

Distance from the axis = 8.5 m

She applies her force perpendicularly to a line drawn from the axis of rotation

So, The angle is 90°

We need to calculate the torque

Using formula of torque

$\tau=Fd\sin\theta$

Where, F = force

d = distance

Put the value into the formula

$\tau=31\times8.5\sin90$

$\tau= 263.5\ N$

Hence, The magnitude of the torque is 263.5 N.

Direction!

Velocity is a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity. Vector quantities includes both magnitude and direction, while scalar quantities only have magnitude. :)
