Why is the top of a wave called a crest

Physics
1 answer:
Molodets [167]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: A crest is the highest point the medium rises to and a trough is the lowest point the medium sinks to. It is also a point on the wave where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum.

a truck is moving around a circular curve @ a uniform velocity of 13m/s. if the centifrical force on truck is 3,300N with truck
VMariaS [17]

<u>Answer</u>

81.94 m


<u>Explanation</u>

The centripetal force of an object moving in a circular path is given by:

F = mv²/r  Where m is the mass of the object, v is the constant velocity and r is the radius of the curve.

F = mv²/r

3,300 = (1600×13²)/r

3,300 = 270,400/r

r = 270,400/3,300

  = 81.94 m

Joule’s law is a linear relationship, that is, the more heat you provide, the greater the temperature change. However, in the pr
Nitella [24]

Answer:

hydrogen bridge

Explanation:

Joule's relationship to heat and temperature is true for all materials where we assume that interatomic forces are linear, when atoms separate these forces decrease. There is a point where the separation between atoms is enough that thermal agitation can separate the molecules and there is a change of state, generally from solid to liquid and from liquid to vapor. When these changes of state are occurring all the energy supplied is used to break the links, so the temperature does not change.

In the specific case of water, there is a bond called a hydrogen bridge that breaks around 4ºC, therefore, at this temperature there is a deviation from the curve since this link is being broken, this does not lead to a change of macroscopic state.

For the other temperatures the water behaves like the other bodies.

Which of the following scenarios describes an object being acted on by a conservative force?
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Option: A feather falls from one end of a tube to the other inside a vacuum.

Explanation:

To answer the question we need to first understand what is meant by Conservative Force.

In principle, Conservative forces are basically forces that are not affected by outside parameters (<em>such as friction, air resistance etc</em>). If the present force is strictly based on the initial and the final location of the object, with the inbetween path being irrelevant, the force will be conservative. A conservative force will be zero if we are looking at a closed path-system. We can also say that the system's energy loss will not be a function of the distance covered but is a function of displacement.

Looking at the available options, we can see that:

<u>Option A: A woman hikes up a mountain to a point 20 feet above ground.</u>

This is a Non Conservative force as this case does not depend just on displacement but also in  the path in between, i.e. hiking up the mountain there will be other forces that will affect the woman such as air resistance.

<u>Option B: A dishwasher was pulled up to a window by a rope, using a pulley system.</u>

This is a Non Conservative force as this case does not depend just on displacement but also in the inbetween path along with the forces present in a pulley system such as friction.

<u />

<u>Option C: A feather falls from one end of a tube to the other inside a vacuum.</u>

This is a Conservative force as here we are looking at a vacuum and its a closed system of no other forces present due to vacuum. However, we CAN'T say that ALL forces in a Vacuum Are Conservative because there are cases of dynamic steady state fields where the system is prone to other forces (i.e. open system).

<u />

<u>Option D: A puck glides across and slowly comes to a stop on an ice rink.</u>

This is a Non Conservative force as this case does not depend just on displacement but also the motion until it comes to a stop, which is possibly due to the friction between the ice rink and the puck.

A disk has a radius of 30 cm and a mass of 0.3 kg and is turning at 3.0 rev/s. A trickle of sand falls onto the disk at a distan
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The mass of the sand that will fall on the disk to decrease the is 0.3375 kg

Explanation:

Moment before = Moment after

I \omega_i = I \omega_f +mr^2 \omega_f\\\\mr^2 \omega_f = I \omega_i  - I \omega_f \\\\m = \frac{ I \omega_i  - I \omega_f}{r^2 \omega_f }

where;

I is moment of inertia = Mr² = 0.3 x (0.3)² = 0.027 kg.m²

substitute this in the above equation;

m = \frac{ 0.027[3(2 \pi)  - 2(2 \pi)]} {0.2^2 * 6\pi } = \frac{ 0.027[6 \pi  - 4\pi]} {0.2^2 * 4\pi }\\\\m = 0.3375kg

Therefore, the mass of the sand that will fall on the disk to decrease the is 0.3375 kg

A 3047.8 kg truck has lost its brakes coming down a mountain. Fortunately, there is a ramp of thick gravel inclined at 9.5 degre
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The work done by the gravel to stop the truck is 520.44 kJ

Explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>: Data given

Mass of the truck = 3047.8 kg

The ramp has an angle of 9.5 °

Velocity of  the truck = 20.68 m/s

distance = 26.6 meters

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate initial kinetic energy

sin 9.5° = 0.165

h = ℓ*sin 9.5° = 26.6*0.165= 4.39 m

Ek = 1/2m*Vo² = 1/2*3047.8*20.68² = 651714.7 Joule = 651.7 kJ  = initial kinetic energy

<u>Step 3: </u>Calculate potential energy

Epot = U = m*g*h = 3047.8*9.81*4.39 = 131256.25 Joule = 131.26 kJ

<u>Step 4:</u>  What work is done by the truck on the gravel?  

Frictional energy Ef = 651.7 kJ - 131.26 kJ = 520.44 kJ
