Your friend provides a solution to the following problem. evaluate her solution. the problem: jim (mass 50 kg) steps off a ledge that is 2.0 m above a platform that sits on top of a relaxed spring of force constant 8000 n/m. how far will the spring compress while stopping jim? your friend's solution: (50kg)(9.8m/s2)(2.0m)=(1/2)(8000n/m )x x=0.25m

Follow these directions and answer the questions. 1. set up the ripple tank as in previous investigations. 2. bend the rubber tube to form a "concave mirror" and place in the ripple tank. the water level must be below the top of the hose. 3. generate a few straight pulses with the dowel and observe the reflected waves. do the waves focus (come together) upon reflection? can you locate the place where the waves meet? 4. touch the water surface where the waves converged. what happens to the reflected wave? 5. move your finger twice that distance from the hose (2f = c of c, center of the curvature) and touch the water again. does the image (the reflected wave) appear in the same location (c of c)? you may have to experiment before you find the exact location. sometimes it is hard to visualize with the ripple tank because the waves move so quickly. likewise, it is impossible to "see" light waves because they have such small wavelengths and move at the speed of light. however, both are examples of transverse waves and behave in the same way when a parallel wave fronts hit a curved surface.

Use the frequency histogram to complete the following parts. ​(a) identify the class with the​ greatest, and the class with the​ least, relative frequency. ​(b) estimate the greatest and least relative frequencies. ​(c) describe any patterns with the data. female fibula lengths 30.5 31.5 32.5 33.5 34.5 35.5 36.5 37.5 38.5 39.5 0 0.05 0.1 0.15 0.2 0.25 length (in centimeters) relative frequency a histogram titled "female fibula lengths" has a horizontal axis labeled "length in centimeters" from 30.5 to 39.5 in increments of 1 and a vertical axis labeled "relative frequency" from 0 to 0.25 in increments of 0.05. the histogram contains vertical bars of width 1, where one vertical bar is centered over each of the horizontal axis tick marks. the approximate heights of the vertical bars are listed as follows, where the label is listed first and the approximate height is listed second: 30.5, 0.02; 31.5, 0.04; 32.5, 0.05; 33.5, 0.13; 34.5, 0.22; 35.5, 0.25; 36.5, 0.13; 37.5, 0.06; 38.5, 0.09; 39.5, 0.01. ​(a) the class with the greatest relative frequency is nothing to nothing centimeters. ​(type integers or decimals. do not round. use ascending​ order.)

Astone is thrown into a pond. what happens to the amplitude of the resulting waves as they get farther from the point where the stone hit the water? explain.
