Answer:
The answer to the questions is;
In terms of standing waves, the listener moves from a location with high amplitude to one with lower amplitude or vibration (anti-node to node)
The distance 4.1 cm is equivalent to λ/4
Explanation:
For standing waves we have is a stationary wave comprising of two opposite direction moving waves that have equal amplitude and frequency, resulting in the superimposition of the waves. As such certain points are fixed along the wave path that is the peaks amplitude of the wave oscillation is constant at a particular point. A node occurring at a point and an anti-node occurring at another fixed point
When the listener moves 4.1 cm he or she has left the anti-node to the node hence the faintness of the sound
The distance from the node to the anti-node is 1/4 wavelength, or 1/4×λ
Therefore 4.1 cm is λ/4
Answer:
The velocity of the freight car decreases.
Explanation:
This question is answered by the conservation of momentum principle.
When the freight car is moving at a certain speed, it has a constant momentum.
We will call this M1.
The equation for M1 will be:
M1 = Mass * Speed
Now when the coal is dumped into the freight car, the Mass increases.
Since conservation of momentum states that the momentum will remain the same. We have:
M1 = (Mass of freight + Mass of coal) * Speed
Since M1 is constant, if the mass increases, the speed had to decrease to keep the equation true.
Answer:
The spring force constant is 
.
Explanation:
We are told the mass of the ball is 
, the height above the spring where the ball is dropped is 
, the length the ball compresses the spring is 
and the acceleration of gravity is 
.
We will consider the initial moment to be when the ball is dropped and the final moment to be when the ball stops, compressing the spring. We supose that there is no friction so the initial mechanical energy 
is equal to the final mechanical energy 
:
Initially there is only gravitational potential energy because the force of the spring isn't present and the speed is zero. In the final moment there is only elastic potential energy because the height is zero and the ball has stopped. So we have that:
If we manipulate the equation we have that:
Alike because they both act on the quarks making up the nucleons and they have very short ranges. The Strong Nuclear Force is an attractive force between protons and neutrons that keep the nucleus together and the Weak Nuclear Force is responsible for the radioactive decay of certain nuclei. Which also makes them very different
