Answer:

Amplitude

Explanation:

A ripple tank is a tank of liquid (mostly water) which is used to observe the behaviour of the propagation of wave. It is commonly used to describe the principles involved in the reflection, refraction and diffraction of waves.

The tank is filled at its bottom with liquid. A bar is located at one of its ends and this bar is connected to an electric motor which causes a vertical motion of the bar. When the frequency of the electric motor is changed, there is a corresponding change in the speed, amplitude and position of the oscillator. Two common controls of the ripple tank are;

i. the frequency control.

ii. the amplitude control.

For two dimensional waves, these controls are called Frequency and Amplitude respectively.

nevsk [136]

Answer:

The correct answer is c.    When the balloon hits the ground, the rubber envelope stretches, storing elastic potential energy; this elastic potential energy is converted to the gravitational potentiaL

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation of the globe

When it touches the ground, the part that is in contact decreases its velocity to zero, but the upper part of the ball continues to move, which creates that the molecules approach slightly, if we approximate the spring links, a repulsive force is created that after all the particles reach zero speed. The force of the springs moves the ball up until the force decreases to zero.

We can relate this force of Hooke with an elastic energy

This energy can be stored in the deformation of the system, as elastic potential energy, which is subsequently transformed into gravitational potential energy when the balloon is lifted.

The correct answer is c

Andy is waiting at the signal. As soon as the light turns green, he accelerates his car at a uniform rate of 8.00 meters/second2
Tatiana [17]
You can reason it out like this:

-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.

-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.

-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is  (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s

-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s

                                                                           =  3,600 meters .
___________________________________

The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for
distance covered when accelerating from rest:

       Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²

                       = (1/2) ·      (8 m/s²)     · (30 sec)²

                       =      (4 m/s²)          ·      (900 sec²)

                       =            3600 meters.

_________________________________

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.

When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds.

How does he do that ?

By accelerating at 8 m/s².  That's about 0.82 G  !

He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph ! 

He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.

The process of changing a property of a wave to transmit information is called .
BARSIC [14]

Answer : The process of changing a property of a wave to transmit information is called Modulation.

Explanation :

Modulation is the process of changing the property of wave to transmit information. This is done with the help of modulator.

In modulation, the message signal is superimposed on a high frequency signal. A sine wave ( usually high frequency ) is used as a high frequency carrier wave.

Modulation can be done in many ways like :

(1) Frequency modulation

(2) Amplitude modulation

(3) Pulse modulation

flat block is pulled along a horizontal flat surface by a horizontal rope perpendicular to one of the sides. The block measures
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

v= 1 m/s

A= 1 m^2

m= 100 kg

y= 1 mm

μ = ?

ζ= viscosity of  SAE 20 crankcase oil of 15° C= 0.3075 N sec/m^2

forces acting on the block are  

                                 F_s   ←    ↓     →F_f

                                                mg

N= mg

F_s=  shear force = ζAv/y        F_f= friction force = μN

now in x- direction F_s= F_f

ζAv/y  =  μN

0.3075×1×1×1/1×10^{-3} = μ×100

⇒μ=0.313 (coefficient of sliding friction for the block)

Now, as the velocity is increased shear force also increases and due to this frictional force also increases.

Now, to compensate this frictional force friction coefficient must increase

as v∝μ

Tapping the surface of a pan of water generates 17.5 waves per second. If the wavelength of each wave is 45 cm, what is the spee
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Speed of the wave is 7.87 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that, tapping the surface of a pan of water generates 17.5 waves per second.

We know that the number of waves per second is called the frequency of a wave.

So, f = 17.5 Hz

Wavelength of each wave, \lambda=45\ cm=0.45\ m

Speed of the wave is given by :

v=f\lambda

v=17.5\times 0.45

v = 7.87 m/s

So, the speed of the wave is 7.87 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
