Answer:

Longitudinal waves have the same direction of vibration as their direction of travel. This means that the movement of the medium is in the same direction as the motion of the wave.

A mass attached to a 50.0 cm long string starts from rest and is rotated 40 times in one minute before reaching a final angular

ch4aika [34]

To solve this problem it is only necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion description, for this purpose we know by definition that,

$\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2 +\omega_0 t + \theta_0$

Where,

$\theta =$ Angular Displacement

$\alpha =$ Angular Acceleration

$\omega_0 =$ Angular velocity

$\theta_0 =$ Initial angular displacement

For this case we have neither angular velocity nor initial angular displacement, then

$\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

Re-arrange for $\alpha,$

$\alpha = \frac{2\theta}{t^2}$

Replacing our values,

$\alpha = \frac{2(40rev*\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})}{60^2}$

$\alpha = 0.139rad/s$

Therefore the ANgular acceleration of the mass is $0.139rad/s^2$

Why is Earth’s North Pole a geographic north pole but a south seeking pole magnetically?

natima [27]

Answer:It is actually the South Magnetic pole

Explanation:The magnetic pole near earth's geographic north pole is actually the south magnetic pole. When it comes to magnets, opposites attract. This fact means that the north end of a magnet in a compass is attracted to the south magnetic pole, which lies close to the geographic north pole.

A 1300 kg car starts at rest and rolls down a hill from a height of 10.0 m. It then moves across a

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

0.51 m

Explanation:

Using the principle of conservation of energy, change in potential energy equals to the change in kinetic energy of the spring.

Kinetic energy, KE=½kx²

Where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring

Potential energy, PE=mgh

Where g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height and m is mass

Equating KE=PE

mgh=½kx²

Making x the subject of formula

$x=\sqrt {\frac {2mgh}{k}}$

Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g, 1300 kg for m, 10m for h and 1000000 for k then

$x=\sqrt \frac {2*1300*9.81*10}{1000000}=0.50503465227646m\\x\approx 0.51 m$

Determine the linear velocity of an object with an angular velocity of 5.9 radians per second at a distance of 12 centimeters fr

Andre45 [30]

The linear velocity of a rotating object is the product of the angular velocity and the radius of the circular motion. Angular velocity is the rate of the change of angular displacement of a body that is in a circular motion. It is a vector quantity so it consists of a magnitude and direction. From the problem, the angular velocity is 5.9 rad per second and the radius is given as 12 centimeters. We calculate as follows:

Linear velocity = angular velocity (radius)
Linear velocity = 5.9 (12 ) = 70.8 cm / s

The linear velocity of the body in motion is 70.8 centimeters per second or 0.708 meters per second.
