Answer:

65m

Explanation:

Twelve waves pass a dock in 3.60 If the waves are traveling at 19.5 m/s , what is the wavelength of the waves?

Velocity of a wave is expressed as;

V = frequency × wavelength

Given

Velocity = 19.5m/s

Frequency is the number of oscillations completed in 1sec, hence

Frequency= 3.6/12

Frequency = 0.3

Wavelength = vel/freq

Wavelength = 19.5/0.3

Wavelength = 65m

Umar has two copper pans, each containing 500cm3 of water. Pan A has a mass of 750g and pan B has a mass of 1.5kg. Which pan wil

Olin [163]

Answer:

heat required in pan B is more than pan A

Explanation:

Heat required to raise the temperature of the substance is given by the formula

$Q = ms\Delta T$

now we know that both pan contains same volume of water while the mass of pan is different

So here heat required to raise the temperature of water in Pan A is given as

$Q_1 = (m_w s_w + m_ps_p)\delta T$

$Q_1 = (0.5(4186) + 0.750(s))\Delta T$

Now similarly for other pan we have

$Q_2 = (m_w s_w + m_ps_p)\delta T$

$Q_2 = (0.5(4186) + 1.50(s))\Delta T$

So here by comparing the two equations we can say that heat required in pan B is more than pan A

A mass is oscillating with amplitude A at the end of a spring.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

A) $x=\pm \frac{A}{2\sqrt{2}}$

The total energy of the system is equal to the maximum elastic potential energy, that is achieved when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (x=A):

$E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2$ (1)

where k is the spring constant.

The total energy, which is conserved, at any other point of the motion is the sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy:

$E=U+K=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ (2)

where x is the displacement, m the mass, and v the speed.

We want to know the displacement x at which the elastic potential energy is 1/3 of the kinetic energy:

$U=\frac{1}{3}K$

Using (2) we can rewrite this as

$U=\frac{1}{3}(E-U)=\frac{1}{3}E-\frac{1}{3}U\\U=\frac{E}{4}$

And using (1), we find

$U=\frac{E}{4}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}kA^2}{4}=\frac{1}{8}kA^2$

Substituting $U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$ into the last equation, we find the value of x:

$\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{8}kA^2\\x=\pm \frac{A}{2\sqrt{2}}$

B) $x=\pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}A$

In this case, the kinetic energy is 1/10 of the total energy:

$K=\frac{1}{10}E$

Since we have

$K=E-U$

we can write

$E-U=\frac{1}{10}E\\U=\frac{9}{10}E$

And so we find:

$\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{9}{10}(\frac{1}{2}kA^2)=\frac{9}{20}kA^2\\x^2 = \frac{9}{10}A^2\\x=\pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}A$

Merton’s strain theory would have the most trouble explaining which crime?

Ronch [10]

Strain theory would least apply to assault. Strain theory represents the result of society pressuring individuals to conform or to achieve accepted goals. When these goals, such as not making enough money or not being well known, fraud, robbery, and burglaries will take place to counteract it. Assault, on the other hand, is used as a bridge into crimes such as fraud, robbery, or burglary.
