Answer:

Crest to the lowest point on the wave trough

Explanation:

The amplitude of the wave is the height of wave as measured from the highest point on the wave that is known as peak or crest to the lowest point on the wave known as trough. Wave length refers to the length of wave from one peak to another but amplitude or height can be determine by measuring the distance from its crest to its trough.

Which correctly identifies the parts of a transverse wave? A: crest B: amplitude C: wavelength D: trough A: trough B: amplitude
jenyasd209 [6]

Explanation :

In transverse waves the particles are oscillating perpendicular to the direction of propagation of waves.

The uppermost part of the wave is crests and the lowermost part is troughs.

Wavelength of a transverse wave is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs.

Amplitude is the maximum distance or displacement covered by a wave.

So, crest, amplitude, trough and wavelength identifies the parts of a transverse wave.

A circular coil of wire of 200 turns and diameter 2.0 cm carries a current of 4.0 A. It is placed in a magnetic field of 0.70 T
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

0.087976 Nm

Explanation:

The magnetic torque (τ) on a current-carrying loop in a magnetic field is given by;

τ = NIAB sinθ     --------- (i)

Where;

N = number of turns of the loop

I = current in the loop

A = area of each of the turns

B = magnetic field

θ = angle the loop makes with the magnetic field

<em>From the question;</em>

N = 200

I = 4.0A

B = 0.70T

θ = 30°

A = π d² / 4        [d = diameter of the coil = 2.0cm = 0.02m]

A = π x 0.02² / 4 = 0.0003142m²         [taking π = 3.142]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

τ = 200 x 4.0 x 0.0003142 x 0.70 sin30°

τ = 200 x 4.0 x 0.0003142 x 0.70 x 0.5

τ = 200 x 4.0 x 0.0003142 x 0.70      

τ = 0.087976 Nm

Therefore, the torque on the coil is 0.087976 Nm

A uniform metal bar is 5.00 m long and has mass 0.300 kg. The bar is pivoted on a narrow support that is 2.00 m from the left-ha
Firlakuza [10]

Explanation and answer:

This type of question can be clarified and sometimes solved by drawing a proper diagram or sketch.  (see below)

Solution:

Since we do not know the reaction of the support, we can take moments about the support (thereby eliminating its involvement).

CCW moment = 0.900(5.00/2 - x) kg-m

CW moment = 0.300*(5.00/2-2.00)) = 0.150 kg-m

At equilibrium, CCW moment = CW moment, so

0.900(2.50-x) = 0.150

Expand and solve

2.25 - 0.900x = 0.150

0.900x = 2.25-0.15 = 2.10

x = 2.10 / 0.900 = 2.33 m  (to nearest cm)

Lindsay is planning a flight from St. Catharines to Hamilton, which lies due west of St. Catharines. Her aircraft flies at a spe
olga nikolaevna [1]

Lindsay has to fly this plane towards this direction [W 12.5° S] to get to Hamilton.

From this question, the plane is still up in the air.

We have wind blowing in [W 60° N ]

To solve the problem we have to make use of the sine rule

\frac{SinA}{a}=\frac{SinB}{b} =\frac{SinC}{c}

We put the values in the equation, we have:

50/Sinθ = 200/sin60°

The next step is to cross multiply

50 x sin60° = 200Sinθ

50 x 0.8660 = 200sinθ

We make Sin θ the subject

Sine θ = 43.30/200

sine θ = 0.2165

we find the value of θ

θ = sine⁻¹(0.2165)

θ = 12.50

So Lindsay has to fly this plane towards this direction

[W 12.5° S]

A seaplane flies horizontally over the ocean at 50 meters/second. It releases a buoy, which lands after 21 seconds. What's the v
pantera1 [17]
The motion of the buoy consists of two independent motions on the horizontal and vertical axis.

On the horizontal axis, the motion of the buoy is a uniform motion with constant speed v=50 m/s. On the vertical axis, the motion of the buoy is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.81 m/s^2. The vertical position of the buoy at time t is given by
y(t)=h- \frac{1}{2}gt^2
where h is the initial heigth of the buoy when it is released from the plane. At the time t=21 s, the buoy reaches the ground, so y(21 s)=0. If we substitute these two numbers inside the equation, we can find the value of h, the vertical displacement from the plane to the ocean:
0=h- \frac{1}{2}gt^2
h= \frac{1}{2}gt^2= \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(21 s)^2=2163 m
