Since the ripple formed is a type of mechanical wave, what might the ripple's behavior indicate about how a mechanical wave moves through a medium?

Amass m = 74 kg slides on a frictionless track that has a drop, followed by a loop-the-loop with radius r = 18.4 m and finally a flat straight section at the same height as the center of the loop (18.4 m off the ground). since the mass would not make it around the loop if released from the height of the top of the loop (do you know why? ) it must be released above the top of the loop-the-loop height. (assume the mass never leaves the smooth track at any point on its path.) 1. what is the minimum speed the block must have at the top of the loop to make it around the loop-the-loop without leaving the track? 2. what height above the ground must the mass begin to make it around the loop-the-loop? 3. if the mass has just enough speed to make it around the loop without leaving the track, what will its speed be at the bottom of the loop? 4. if the mass has just enough speed to make it around the loop without leaving the track, what is its speed at the final flat level (18.4 m off the ground)? 5. now a spring with spring constant k = 15600 n/m is used on the final flat surface to stop the mass. how far does the spring compress?

Calculate the volume of this regular solid. what is the volume of the cone? round your answer to the nearest hundredth

1. explain how you calculate the net force in any direction on the box. 2. suppose an upward force of 15n is added to the box. what will be the net vertical force on the box? 3. what force could be applied to the box to make the net force in the horizontal direction zero? explain. 4. suppose a force of 25n to the right is added to the box. what will be the net force to the right?
