This measure of the total amount of matter an object contains is called mass. The unit used for mass is the kilogram or kg for short.

I hope this helps!

In lab, your instructor generates a standing wave using a thin string of length L = 1.65 m fixed at both ends. You are told that

erik [133]

Answer:

On the standing waves on a string, the first antinode is one-fourth of a wavelength away from the end. This means

$\frac{\lambda}{4} = 0.275~m\\\lambda = 1.1~m$

This means that the relation between the wavelength and the length of the string is

$3\lambda/2 = L$

By definition, this standing wave is at the third harmonic, n = 3.

Furthermore, the standing wave equation is as follows:

$y(x,t) = (A\sin(kx))\sin(\omega t) = A\sin(\frac{\omega}{v}x)\sin(\omega t) = A\sin(\frac{2\pi f}{v}x)\sin(2\pi ft) = A\sin(\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}x)\sin(\frac{2\pi v}{\lambda}t) = (2.45\times 10^{-3})\sin(5.7x)\sin(59.94t)$

The bead is placed on x = 0.138 m. The maximum velocity is where the derivative of the velocity function equals to zero.

$v_y(x,t) = \frac{dy(x,t)}{dt} = \omega A\sin(kx)\cos(\omega t)\\a_y(x,t) = \frac{dv(x,t)}{dt} = -\omega^2A\sin(kx)\sin(\omega t)$

$a_y(x,t) = -(59.94)^2(2.45\times 10^{-3})\sin((5.7)(0.138))\sin(59.94t) = 0$

For this equation to be equal to zero, sin(59.94t) = 0. So,

$59.94t = \pi\\t = \pi/59.94 = 0.0524~s$

This is the time when the velocity is maximum. So, the maximum velocity can be found by plugging this time into the velocity function:

$v_y(x=0.138,t=0.0524) = (59.94)(2.45\times 10^{-3})\sin((5.7)(0.138))\cos((59.94)(0.0524)) = 0.002~m/s$

maw [93]

Answer:

shrinks with all the fringes getting narrower

Explanation:

As the light passes through the slit, the diffraction pattern shrinks, as the waves have more opening to penetrate, and the fringes becomes more narrow as a result of that, The opposite happens as the conditions are reversed.

<span>Weight of the skydiver m = 500 N
Terminal velocity V = 90 km/h
Here the weight of the person acts as the force, so based on the Newton's third law the applied is the force what we but in the opposite direction making the resistance. So the air resistance exerted on Suzie will be her weight that is 500N</span>
