Answer:
Explanation:
a. The amplitude is the measure of the height of the wave from the midline to the top of the wave or the midline to the bottom of the wave (called crests). The midline then divides the whole height in half. Thus, the amplitude of this wave is 9.0 cm.
b. Wavelength is measured from the highest point of one wave to the highest point of the next wave (or from the lowest point of one wave to the lowest point of the next wave, since they are the same). The wavelength of this wave then is 20.0 cm. or
c. The period, or T, of a wave is found in the equation
were f is the frequency of the wave. We were given the frequency, so we plug that in and solve for T:
so
and
T = .0200 seconds to the correct number of sig fig's (50.0 has 3 sig fig's in it)
d. The speed of the wave is found in the equation
and since we already have the frequency and we solved for the wavelength already, filling in:
and
v = 50.0(20.0) so
v = 1.00 × 10³ m/s
And there you go!
Answer:
Explanation:
Height of building
H = 6m
Horizontal speed of first balloon
U1x = 2m/s
Second ballot is thrown straight downward at a speed of
U2y = 2m/s
Time each gallon hits the ground
Balloon 1.
Using equation of free fall
H = Uoy•t + ½gt²
Uox = 0 since the body does not have vertical component of velocity
6 = ½ × 9.8t²
6 = 4.9t²
t² = 6 / 4.9
t² = 1.224
t = √1.224
t = 1.11 seconds
For second balloon
H = Uoy•t + ½gt²
6 = 2t + ½ × 9.8t²
6 = 2t + 4.9t²
4.9t² + 2t —6 = 0
Using formula method to solve the quadratic equation
Check attachment
From the solution we see that,
t = 0.9211 and t = -1.329
We will discard the negative value of time since time can't be negative here
So the second balloon get to the ground after t ≈ 0.92 seconds
Conclusion
The water ballon that was thrown straight down at 2.00 m/s hits the ground first by 1.11 s - 0.92s = 0.19 s.
