Answer:

Ripple in water is a surface wave. A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission —the material—is limited.

A bicyclist starts at point P and travels around a triangular path that takes her through points Q and R before returning to the

REY [17]

Answer:

Displacement by cyclist is zero.

Explanation:

In the given question bicyclist is travelling in a rectangular track having P , Q and R edges.

The bicyclist starts from P and travel through Q and R and returned to P again.

We need to find its displacement.

We know displacement of a body is its difference between its initial position to final position.

Here in the given question the bicyclist returns to P again.

Therefore, total displacement by bicyclist is zero.

Hence, this is the required solution.

[A] Write an expression for the equivalent resistance of three resistors connected in parallel.[ no derivation needed]

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

1) R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))

2) 0.5 A

3) 3.6 V

Explanation:

1) We can see that resistors R2 and R3 are in parallel.

Formula for sum of parallel resistors; 1/Rt = 1/R2 + 1/R3

Making Rt the subject gives;

Rt = (R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3)

Now, Resistor R1 is in series with this sum of R2 and R3. Thus;

Total resistance of circuit = R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))

2) R_total = R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))

We are given;

R1 = 7.2 Ω

R2 = 8 Ω

R3 = 12 Ω

R_total = 7.2 + ((8 × 12)/(8 + 12))

R_total = 7.2 + 4.8

R_total = 12 Ω

Formula for current is;

I = V/R

I = 6/12

I = 0.5 A

3) since current through the circuit is 0.5 and R1 is 7.2 Ω.

Thus, potential difference through R1 is;

V = IR = 0.5 × 7.2 = 3.6 V

Four seconds after being launched, what is the height of a ball that starts from a height of 12 m with an initial upward velocit

MrMuchimi

Answer:

15.24 m/s in the downward direction

Explanation:

Given that the initial upward velocity of the ball is 24 m/s.

Assuming that the upward direction is positive.

As gravitational force acts in the downward direction and the direction of acceleration is the same as the direction of force, so the acceleration due to gravity will be negative.

Now, from the equation of motion, when an object is launched with initial velocity u, the final velocity, v, of an object after time t is v=u+at.

Given that u=24 m/s, t=4 seconds, $g=-9.81 m/s^2$ .

So, the final velocity is

$v= 24 + (-9.81)\times 4 \\\\\Rightarrow v= 24-9.81\times 4$

$\Rightarrow v=-15.24$ m/s

Here, the negative sign means the final velocity is in the downward direction.

Hence, the velocity after 4 seconds is 15.24 m/s in the downward direction.
