A physics student walks 4 meters East, 2 meters South, 4 meters West, and finally 2 meters North.

A5 nc point charge is at the origin and a second 3 nc point charge is on the x-axis at x = 0.8 m. find the magnitude and direction of the electric field on the x-axs at x = 0.2 m. you may express the direction by letting positive field mean the positive x direction

The intensity, or loudness, of a sound can be measured in decibels (db), according to the equation , where i is the intensity of a given sound and is the threshold of hearing intensity. what is the intensity, in decibels, [i(db)], when ? use a calculator. round to the nearest whole number. 8 9 19 80

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.
