Answer:

3 m/s

Explanation:

The slope is distance divided by time, also known as 'speed'.

15 meters / 5 seconds = 3 meters per second.

A large crate is suspended from the end of a vertical rope. Is the tension in the rope greater when the crate is at rest or when

choli [55]

Answer:

Part a)

the tension force is equal to the weight of the crate

Part b)

tension force is more than the weight of the crate while accelerating upwards

tension force is less than the weight of crate if it is accelerating downwards

Explanation:

Part a)

When large crate is suspended at rest or moving with uniform speed then it is given as

$F_t - mg = ma$

here since speed is constant or it is at rest

so we will have

$a = 0$

$F_t = mg$

so the tension force is equal to the weight of the crate

Part b)

Now let say the crate is accelerating upwards

now we can say

$F_t - mg = ma$

$F_t = mg + ma$

so tension force is more than the weight of the crate

Now if the crate is accelerating downwards

$F_t - mg = -ma$

$F_t = mg - ma$

so tension force is less than the weight of crate if it is accelerating downwards

If frequency is kept constant, how are the velocity and wavelength of a wave related?

Elan Coil [88]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

Velocity and wavelength are directly proportional when frequency is kept constant.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillations made by a given wave in one second.
Wavelength on the other hand, is the distance between two successful crests or troughs in a transverse wave or two successful rarefactions or compressions in a longitudinal waves.
The speed of a wave is given by the product of the frequency of a wave and the wavelength.
Speed = Frequency × wavelength, 
Therefore, if frequency is kept constant, then the speed of a wave is directly proportional to the wavelength, such that an increase in wavelength increases the speed of the wave and vice versa.

A force that needs to touch something to affect it

bija089 [108]

I would say friction because it requires to surfaces in order for the force to take place

correct me if I'm wrong.

g We saw in class that in a pendulum the string does no work. We also saw that the normal force does no work on an object slidin

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

From question (a) and (b) the pendulum motion is perpendicular to the force so the normal force will do no work and the tension in the string of the pendulum will not work

$i.e Normal \ Force(N) = mg cos \theta$

And $\theta = 90$ so

$N = 0$

An example will be a where a stone is attached to the end of a string and is made to move in a circular motion while keeping the other end of the string in a fixed position

A dog walking along a surface which has friction, here the frictional force would acting in the direction of the motion and this would do positive work

Perpendicular slope to 3x-y=4

Mashcka [7]

Perpendicular slope would be 1/3. so the equation will be Y=1/3x -4
