Waves: can be Doppler shifted, reflected, refracted,  diffracted, and can undergo constructive and  destructive interference.

A wave refers to a disturbance in a medium that progressively transports energy from its source to another location, without transporting matter.

In Physics, there are two main (2) types of wave and these are;

  • <u>Mechanical waves:</u> an example is sound wave, which requires a medium for its propagation.
  • <u>Electromagnetic waves:</u> an example is light wave, which doesn't require a medium for its propagation and can travel through a vacuum or an empty space.

Basically, some of the phenomenon associated with waves include the following:

I. Doppler shift (Doppler effect).

II. Reflection.

III. Refraction.

IV. Diffraction.

V. Constructive interference.

VI. Destructive interference.

In conclusion, all waveform can be Doppler shifted, reflected, refracted,  diffracted, and can undergo constructive and  destructive interference.

A weight suspended from a spring is seen to bob up and down over a total distance of 20 centimeters twice each second.
Zielflug [23.3K]

<u>Answer</u>

8. 2 Hz

9. 0.5 seconds

10. 20 cm


<u>Explanation</u>

<u>Q 8</u>

Frequency is the number of oscillation in a unit time. It is the rate at which something repeats itself in a second.

In this case, the spring bob up and down 2 times per second.

∴ Frequency = 2 Hz

<u>Q 9</u>

Period is the time taken to complete one oscillation.

2 oscillations takes 1 second

1 oscillation = 1/2 seconds.

∴ Period = 0.5 seconds


<u>Q 10</u>

Amplitude is the the maximum displacement of the spring.

In this case the spring bob up 20 cm. This is it's displacement.

∴ Amplitude = 20 cm

Why does the solar system consist of small planets orbiting close to sun and larger on more distant
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The inner planets are smaller and rockier

Explanation:

Astronomers divide the planets into two groups in Solar system,  the  inner planets and outer planets. The inner planets are smaller and rockier and it is closer to the sun.  The outer planets are larger , further far away and made of gas

The inner planets are Mercury, Venus , Earth and Mars.  The outer planets Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus and Neptune comes after an  asteroid belt. In some other planetary systems the gas are close to the sun.

particles in a disk of gas and dust will form Planets.  If they orbit the star they are colliding and sticking.  The stars wind blows away their gases . So the nearest planets to starts are rockier.

A fixed system of charges exerts a force of magnitude 22 N on a 4.0 C charge. The 4.0 C charge is replaced with a 8.0 C charge.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

44 N

Explanation:

The electrostatic forces between two charges is given by:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is their separation

We notice that the force is directly proportional to the charges.

In this problem, initially we have a force of

F = 22 N

on a q2 = 4.0 C, exerted by a charge q1.

If the charge is doubled,

q2 = 8.0 C

This means that the force will also double, so it will be

F=22 N \cdot 2 = 44 N

rickey approaches third base. He dives head first, hitting the ground at 6.75 m/s and reaching the base at 5.91 m/s in 2.5 secon
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

15.825 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 2.5 s

u = Initial velocity = 6.75 m/s

v = Final velocity = 5.91 m/s

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{5.91-6.75}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow a=-0.336\ m/s^2

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{5.91^2-6.75^2}{2\times -0.336}\\\Rightarrow s=15.825\ m

The distance Rickey slides across the ground before touching the base is 15.825 m
