Physics
1 answer:
never [62]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Period refers to the time that it takes to do something. ... The period of a wave is the time for a particle on a medium to make one complete vibrational cycle. Period, being a time, is measured in units of time such as seconds, hours, days or years.

Seema knows the mass of a basketball. What other information is needed to find the ball’s potential energy?
adelina 88 [10]

Potential energy can be found using this formula:

PE= m * g * h

where:

PE= potential energy

m=mass

g=gravitational acceleration constant (9.8 m/s^2)

h= height

So your answer is height because you also use the gravitational constant.

A missile is launched vertically from a missile silo, it will explode after 32 s. It's launch speed was 145 m/s, and it doesn't
Karolina [17]

Answer:

Landed before it explodes

Explanation:

vf = vi + at,

0 = 145 - (9.8)t,

t = 14.79 s (Time to reach highest point)

14.79 x 2 = 29.59 s (Time to land on the ground)

It will have landed before it explodes because both the time to reach the highest point and the time to land on the ground are less than 32 seconds.

In lecture, it was discussed measurements of mass, temperature, time, volume and length. which of these is not an si base unit (
photoshop1234 [79]

From the options provided in the question, the measurement which is not an SI base unit is volume.

<h3>What is SI base unit?</h3>

This is referred to as the standard and fundamental unit of measurement of various quantities or variables which is defined arbitrarily and not by combinations of other units.

Volume is a quantity which is derived from the combination of lengths in a  three-dimensional manner which is why the formula is length× breadth×height and the unit is cm³. This is gotten from the combination of the unit of length which is cm.

This is therefore the reason why volume was chosen as the most appropriate choice.

Light from distant galaxies most likely shows a ...red shift, indicating that the universe is expandingblue shift, indicating th
ELEN [110]

Answer:

red shift, indicating that the universe is expanding

Explanation:

Doppler effect occurs when a source of a wave (e.g. light, or sound waves) moves relative to an observer; as a result of this relative motion, the wavelength of the wave appears lengthened/shortened to the observer. Two situations can occur:

- The source of the wave is moving towards the observer - in this case, the wavelength of the wave becomes shorter. If the wave is visible light, such as the light emitted by distant galaxies, this means that the wavelength of the light shifts towards the blue-end of the spectrum (blue-shift)

- The source of the wave is moving away from the observer - in this case, the wavelength of the wave becomes longer. If the wave is visible light, such as the light emitted by distant galaxies, this means that the wavelength of the light shifts towards the red-end of the spectrum (red-shift)

In our universe, we observe a red-shift for all the distant galaxies: this means that these galaxies are moving away from us, so this is an indication that the universe is expanding.

At one instant, the center of mass of a system of two particles is located on the x-axis at 2.0 cm and has a velocity of (5.0 m/
Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

At one instant,

Center of mass is at 2m

Xcm = 2m

And velocity =5•i m/s

One of the particle is at the origin

M1=? X1 =0

The other has a mass M2=0.1kg

And it is at rest at position X2= 8m

a. Center of mass is given as

Xcm = (M1•X1 + M2•X2) / (M1+M2)

2 = (M1×0 + 0.1×8) /(M1 + 0.1)

2 = (0+ 0.8) /(M1 + 0.1)

Cross multiply

2(M1+0.1) = 0.8

2M1 + 0.2 =0.8

2M1 = 0.8-0.2

2M1 = 0.6

M1 = 0.6/2

M1 = 0.3kg

b. Total momentum, this is an inelastic collision and it momentum after collision is given as

P= (M1+M2)V

P = (0.3+0.1)×5•i

P = 0.4 × 5•i

P = 2 •i kgm/s

c. Velocity of particle at origin

Using conversation of momentum

Momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision

P(before) = M1 • V1 + M2 • V2

We are told that M2 is initially at rest, then, V2=0

So, P(before) = 0.3V1

We already got P(after) = 2 •i kgm/s in part b of the question

Then,

P(before) = P(after)

0.3V1 = 2 •i

V1 = 2/0.3 •i

V1 = 6 ⅔ •i m/s

V1 = 6.667 •i m/s
