If wave A has twice the amplitude and three times the frequency as wave B, then the energy carried by wave A must be ____ times

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

4 times

Explanation:

As we know that the energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave,

Here, the amplitude of the wave A is twice as compared to B.

So, the energy of wave A is 4 times the energy of wave B.

A plane traveled west for 4.0 hours and covered a distance of 4,400 meters what’s the velocity

tatuchka [14]

0.31m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time of travel = 4hrs = 4 x 60 x 60 = 14400s

Displacement = 4400m due west

Unknown:

Velocity = ?

Solution:

Velocity is defined as the displacement per unit of time. It is expressed in m/s or km/hr:

Velocity = $\frac{displacement}{time}$

Velocity = $\frac{4400}{14400}$ = 0.31m/s

Solve for the length of the inclined plane if the angle equals 19.45 degrees.

mel-nik [20]

The length of the inclined plane is approximately 12 ft

The situation forms a right angle triangle.

<h3>Right triangle</h3>

Right triangle have one of its angle as 90 degrees.

Therefore,

The length of the inclined plane is the hypotenuse of the triangle. The length of the inclined plane can be found using trigonometric ratios.

height = 4 ft

angle(∅) = 19.45°

sin 19.45 = 4 / h

h = 4 / 0.33298412235

h = 12.0125847796

h = 12 ft

Therefore, the length of the inclined plane is approximately 12 ft

An alpha particle has a charge of +2e and a mass of 6.64 x 10-27 kg. It is accelerated from rest through a potential difference

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

a) v = 1.075*10^7 m/s

b) FB = 7.57*10^-12 N

c) r = 10.1 cm

Explanation:

(a) To find the speed of the alpha particle you use the following formula for the kinetic energy:

$K=qV$ (1)

q: charge of the particle = 2e = 2(1.6*10^-19 C) = 3.2*10^-19 C

V: potential difference = 1.2*10^6 V

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):

$K=(3.2*10^{-19}C)(1.2*10^6V)=3.84*10^{-13}J$

The kinetic energy of the particle is also:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ (2)

m: mass of the particle = 6.64*10^⁻27 kg

You solve the last equation for v:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(3.84*10^{-13}J)}{6.64*10^{-27}kg}}\\\\v=1.075*10^7\frac{m}{s}$

the sped of the alpha particle is 1.075*10^6 m/s

b) The magnetic force on the particle is given by:

$|F_B|=qvBsin(\theta)$

B: magnitude of the magnetic field = 2.2 T

The direction of the motion of the particle is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. Then sinθ = 1

$|F_B|=(3.2*10^{-19}C)(1.075*10^6m/s)(2.2T)=7.57*10^{-12}N$

the force exerted by the magnetic field on the particle is 7.57*10^-12 N

c) The particle describes a circumference with a radius given by:

$r=\frac{mv}{qB}=\frac{(6.64*10^{-27}kg)(1.075*10^7m/s)}{(3.2*10^{-19}C)(2.2T)}\\\\r=0.101m=10.1cm$

the radius of the trajectory of the electron is 10.1 cm
