A63 kg boy and a 37 kg girl use an elastic rope while engaged in a tug-of-war on a frictionless icy surface. if the acceleration of the girl toward the boy is 2.3 m/s 2 , determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the boy toward the girl. answer in units of m/s 2 .

The percent efficiency of a machine can never be 100% (or greater), because in the real world some energy is always converted into a. heat b. work c. input force d. output force

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.

Which statement best describes the superposition principle? a.) if two in-phase waves arrive simultaneously at a point, their amplitudes add up b.) if two out-of-phase waves arrive simultaneously at a point, their amplitudes add up c.) if two in-phase waves arrive at a point one after another, their amplitudes add up d.) if two out-of-phase waves arrive at a point one after another, their amplitudes adds up
