Explanation:

Amplitude, in physics, the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. It is equal to one-half the length of the vibration path. ... Waves are generated by vibrating sources, their amplitude being proportional to the amplitude of the source.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

t = 5.05 s

Explanation:

This is a kinetic problem.

a) to solve it we must fix a reference system, let's use a fixed system on the floor where the height is 0 m

b) in this system the equations of motion are

y = v₀ t + ½ g t²

where v₀ is the initial velocity that is v₀ = 0 and g is the acceleration of gravity that always points towards the center of the Earth

e) y = 0 + ½ g t²

t = √ (2y / g)

t = √(2 125 / 9.8)

t = 5.05 s

Automobile traveling at 65 mph constant on the road described below. Find rate at which radar must rotate when theta = 15 deg. A

Finger [1]

Answer:

The rate at which radar must rotate is 0.335 rad/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity = 65 m/h = 29.0576 m/s

Angle = 15°

Suppose, the radius given by

$r=(100\cos2\theta)\ m$

We need to calculate the rate at which radar must rotate

Using formula of linear velocity

$v=r\omega$

$\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}$

Where, v = velocity

r = radius

Put the value into the formula

$\omega=\dfrac{29.0576}{100\cos30}$

$\omega=0.335\ rad/s$

Hence, The rate at which radar must rotate is 0.335 rad/s.

if a cyclist is travelling a road due east at 12km/h and a wind is blowing from south-west at 5km/h. find the velocity of the wi

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The velocity of wind with respect to cyclist is $-15.5 \widehat{i} - 3.5 \widehat{j}$ .

Explanation:

speed of cyclist = 12 km/h east

speed of wind = 5 km/h south west

Write the speeds in the vector form

$\overrightarrow{vc} = 12 \widehat{i}\\\\overrightarrow{vw} = - 5 (cos 45 \widehat{i} + sin 45 \widehat{j})\\\\\overrightarrow{vw} =-3.5 \widehat{i} - 3.5 \widehat{j}$

The velocity of wind with respect to cyclist is

$\overrightarrow{vw} =-3.5 \widehat{i} - 3.5 \widehat{j}\overrightarrow{v_(w/c)} = \overrightarrow{vw}-\overrightarrow{vc}\\\\\overrightarrow{v_(w/c)} = - 3.5 \widehat{i} - 3.5 \widehat{j} - 12 \widehat{i}\\\\\overrightarrow{v_(w/c)} =-15.5 \widehat{i} - 3.5 \widehat{j}$
