1. What is wave motion

1 answer:

8 0

A wave is basically propagation of disturbances—that is, deviations from a state of rest or equilibrium—from place to place in a regular and organized way. Most familiar are surface waves on water, but both sound and light travel as wavelike disturbances, and the motion of all subatomic particles exhibits wavelike properties.

A rock is launched at angle theta=53.2∘ above the horizontal from an altitude of ℎ=182 km with an initial speed ????0=1.61 km/s.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The rock's final speed at the required altitude will be 42.24 m/s.

Explanation:

Let's start by finding the initial vertical speed.

Vertical Speed = 1.61 * Sin (53.2°)

Vertical Speed = 0.8 m/s

We want to know the speed of the rock when it is at an altitude of 91 km.

The total displacement of the rock from its starting position will thus be equal to -91 km

We can use this in the following equation:

$s=u*t+\frac{1}{2} (a*t^2)$

$-91=0.8*t+\frac{1}{2} (-9.8*t^2)$

t = 4.3918 seconds

Thus it takes 4.3918 seconds to reach the required altitude. We can now find the speed as follows:

$V=U+at$

$V=0.8+(-9.8)*(4.3918)$

$V = -42.24$

Thus the rock's final speed at the required altitude will be 42.24 m/s.

What is the repulsive force between two pith balls that are 8.00 cm apart and have equal charges of – 30.0 nC?

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$F=1.26*10^{-3}N$

Explanation:

Assuming the pith balls as point charges, we can calculate the repulsive force between them, using Coulomb's law:

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$

We observe that the magnitude of the electric force is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both signed charges( $q_1,q_2$ ) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d) that separates them.

Replacing the given values, where k is the Coulomb constant:

$F=\frac{8.99*10^{9}\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}(-30*10^{-9}C)(-30*10^{-9}C)}{(8*10^{-2}m)^2}\\F=1.26*10^{-3}N$

How are the energy conversions of machines similar to the energy conversions in your body

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

When we eat food, our body gets chemical energy from it. Now, this chemical energy from the food is changed into some different energy forms that is useful to it. They include:

-Chemical to mechanical energy to aid in movement of muscles

- chemical to thermal energy to aid in regulating the body temperature.

- chemical to electrical energy to aid the brain in thinking.

Thus is similar to how a machine converts energy because machines also generate energy after being powered and convert to other forms of energy. For example, an alarm clock converts electrical energy to sound energy, hair dryer converts electrical energy to thermal/heat energy.
