What is one way that light waves differ from sound waves?(1 point)

Physics

Shalnov [3]1 year ago

Light waves are transverse while sound waves are longitudinal. Light waves can travel in vacuum. Sound waves require a material medium to travel, and hence, cannot travel in vacuum. The speed of light in a medium is constant.

Hope this helps!

7. A bicycle accelerates at 2.0 m/s2. If the mass of the bicycle and rider together is
kkurt [141]

Answer:

170 N

Explanation:

Since Force F = ma were m = mass = 85 kg and a = acceleration = 2.0 m/s².

So the net force on the bicycle is

F = ma = 85 kg × 2.0 m/s² = 170 N

A person drives a car around a circular road with a constant speed of 20 m/s. The
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

16 m/s^2

Explanation:

acceleration tangential = (v^2)/r

a=400/25

a=16 m/s^2

Side note: next time, be more specific when asking about acceleration in circular motion. There's more than one type! Example:

angular acceleration=acceleration tangential/r

angular acc.=16/25

angular acc.=0.64 rad/s^2

A sprinter starts from rest and reaches a speed of 15 m/s in 4.25 s. Find his acceleration
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

a=3.53 m/s^2

Explanation:

Vo=0 m/s (because he is not moving at the start)

V1=15 m/s

t= 4.25 s

a = (V1-Vo) / t = 15/4.25 = 3.53 m/s^2

Show the equation of simple pendulum to be dimensionally consistent
nataly862011 [7]
T is in seconds (s) 

<span>2pi is dimensionless </span>

<span>L is in meters (m) </span>

<span>g is in meters per second squared (m/s^2) </span>

<span>so you can write the equation for the period of the simple pendulum in its units... </span>

<span>s=sqrt(m/(m/s^2)) </span>

<span>simplify</span>

<span>s=sqrt(m*s^2*1/m) cancelling the m's </span>

<span>s=sqrt(s^2) </span>

<span>s=s </span>

<span>therefore the dimensions on the left side of the equation are equal to the dimensions on the right side of the equation.</span>

A mass on the end of a spring undergoes simple harmonic motion. At the instant when the mass is at its maximum displacement from
Mrac [35]

Answer:

C) True. At maximum displacement, its instantaneous velocity is zero.

Explanation:

The simple harmonic movement is given by

        x = A cos wt

Speed

        v = - A w sin wt

At the point of maximum displacement x = A

       A = A cos wt

      cos wt = 1

      wt = 0

We replace the speed

       v = -Aw sin 0 = A w

Speed ​​is maximum

Let's review the claims

A) False. Speed ​​is zero

B) False. It can be determined

C) True. Agree with our result

D) False. When one is maximum the other is minimum
