Answer:

Amplitude: Meters

Frequency: Hertz

Wavelength: meters

Wave speed: Meters/second

Loudness: decibels

  • Explanation:
  • Amplitude is defined as the distance from mean position of the wave to the center of crest or trough. The S.I. unit for this is meters.
  • Frequency is defined as the number of oscillations happening in one second. It is measured in Hertz.
  • Wavelength is defined as the distance between two crests or two troughs. It is a measured in meters.
  • Wave speed is defined as the number of waves happening in 1 second. Hence, the unit to measure this property is meters/second.
  • Loudness of a sound is the measurement which determines the sound. Its unit is decibels.

Hence, Units of

Amplitude : Meters

Frequency : Hertz

Wavelength: meters

Wave speed: Meters/second

Loudness: decibels

Suppose you see two main-sequence stars of the exact same spectral type. Star 1 is dimmer in apparent brightness than Star 2 by
katrin2010 [14]

Options:

A. The luminosity of Star 1 is a factor of 100 less than the luminosity of Star 2.

B. Star 1 is 100 times more distant than Star 2.

C. Without first knowing the distances to these stars, you cannot draw any conclusions about how their true luminosities compare to each other.

D. Star 1 is 10 times more distant than Star 2.

E. Star 1 is 100 times nearer than Star 2.

Answer:

D. Star 1 is 10 times more distant than star 2

Explanation:

For two stars of identical size and temperature, the closer one to us will appear brighter. The relationship between the distance and luminosity of stars is an inverse- square relationship.

Luminosity, L = 1/r²

Where r is the distance of the star to the earth

Since star 1 is dimmer in brightness than star 2 by a factor of 100,

L₁/L₂ = 1/100

i.e. L₁ = 1, L₂=100

L₁ = 1/r₁² ............(1)

1 =  1/r₁²

L₂ = 1/r₂²

100 =  1/r₂² .........(2)

divide equation (2) by equation (1)

100/1 = ( 1/r₂² )/ (1/r₁²)

100 = (r₁/r₂)²

r₁/r₂ = √100

r₁/r₂ = 10

r₁ = 10r₂

A uniform metre rule of weight 0.9 N is suspended horizontally by two vertical loops of thread A and B placed at 20cm and 30cm f
podryga [215]

Answer:

(a) 29 cm

(b) 43.5 cm

Explanation:

(a) when loop A is slack, there are three forces acting on the metre rule.

-0.9 N at 50 cm mark

T at 70 cm mark

-2 N at x

Taking the sum of the torques about B:

∑τ = Iα

(-0.9 N) (50 cm − 70 cm) + (-2 N) (x − 70 cm) = 0

18 Ncm − 2 N (x − 70 cm) = 0

2 N (x − 70 cm) = 18 Ncm

x − 70 cm = 9 cm

x = 79 cm

The distance from the center is |50 cm − 79 cm| = 29 cm.

(b) when loop B is slack, there are three forces acting on the metre rule.

-0.9 N at 50 cm mark

T at 20 cm mark

-2 N at x

Taking the sum of the torques about A:

∑τ = Iα

(-0.9 N) (50 cm − 20 cm) + (-2 N) (x − 20 cm) = 0

-27 Ncm − 2 N (x − 20 cm) = 0

2 N (x − 20 cm) = -27 Ncm

x − 20 cm = -13.5 cm

x = 6.5 cm

The distance from the center is |50 cm − 6.5 cm| = 43.5 cm

What are the real life applications of Hooke's Law?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

1) a rubber band

2) the spring of retractable pen

3) a spring loaded toy gun

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that; provided the elastic limit of a material is not exceeded, the force exerted on an elastic material is directly proportional to its extension. This relationship was first captured by Robert Hooke in 1660 when he asserted that 'as the extension, so is the force!'.

Hooke's law generally deals with elastic or stretchable materials. These materials can be deformed, but returned to their original shapes when the deforming force is removed. This deforming force causes an extension in the material which is directly proportional to the deforming force. That is F= Kx where K is the called the force constant, F is the deforming force and x is the magnitude of extension brought about by the force.

Various real life applications of Hooke's law have been listed in the answer. Any material that makes use of a loaded spiral spring or indeed any kind of elastic material obeys Hooke's law.
