Answer:

Compressions

Explanation:

A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the direction of propagation of the wave and the direction of the displacement of the particles of the wave are parallel.

As the wave propagates, the particles do not move, but, oscillate back and forth about their equilibrium position, and there are thus regions of high pressure called compressions and regions of low pressure called rarefactions.

The amplitude is thus the distance between successive compressions.

6 gallons

Explanation:

At 30 mph, the fuel mileage is 25 mpg.

After 5 hours, the distance traveled is:

30 mi/hr × 5 hr = 150 mi

The amount of gas used is:

150 mi × (1 gal / 25 mi) = 6 gal

platform diving in the olympic games takes place at two heights: 5 meters and 10 meters. What is the velocity of a diver enterin

posledela

1) Velocity: 9.9 m/s and 14 m/s

The motion of the diver is a free-fall motion, so it is a uniform accelerated motion. Choosing downward as positive direction, the final velocity can be found by using the following suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

v is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the diver starts from rest)

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

s is the displacement

For the diver jumping from 5 m, s = 5 m, so

$v=\sqrt{2as}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(5)}=9.9 m/s$

For the diver jumping from 10 m, s = 10 m, so

$v=\sqrt{2as}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(10)}=14 m/s$

2) Time: 1.01 s and 1.43 s

The time of flight of each diver can be found by using the other suvat equation

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

And since u = 0, it can be reduced to

$s=\frac{1}{2}at^2$

For the diver jumping from 5 m, s = 5 m, so we find

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(5)}{9.8}}=1.01 s$

For the diver jumping from 10 m, s = 10 m, so we find

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(10)}{9.8}}=1.43 s$

The amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator will be doubled by:a) doubling only the initial speedb) doubling the initial displ

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

When both initial speed and initial displacement is doubled then amplitude will be doubled.

Explanation:

Given that :- Amplitude of simple harmonic Oscillator is doubled.

So,

Formula of Simple harmonic oscillator is $X=A\sin\ (2\pi ft +\phi)$ ...........(1)

Where X = Position in (m,cm,km.....)

A = Amplitude in (m,cm,km.....)

F = Frequency in (Hz)

T = Time in (sec.)

Ф = Phase in (rad)

For initial displacement taking t=0 we get,

Initial displacement = $A\sin(\phi)$ .................(2)

Now taking equation (1) and differentiating it w.r.t to (t) we get

$\frac{dx}{dt} = 2\pi fA\cos\ (2\pi ft+\phi)$

$V= 2\pi fA\cos\ (2\pi ft+\phi)$

taking t=0 for initial speed then we get,

Initial speed = $2\pi fA\cos\phi$ ...............(3)

observing equation (2) & (3) that the initial displacement and initial speed depends on the Amplitude of the Oscillator.

Hence,

when both initial speed and displacement is doubled then amplitude will be doubled.

True or False: The energy increase of an object acted on only by a gravitational force is equal to the product of the object's w

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The statement shown in the question above is false and this can be confirmed by Newton's law on universal gravitation. According to Newton, the gravitational force exerted on any body is proportional to its weight, but the distance that the object travels when falling is disproportionate. In addition, if the force resulting from the weight of the object and its displacement has an angle of 0º, the weight force of that object will provide an increase in kinetic energy.
