The properties of mechanical waves are : ( C and D )

The three categories of mechanical waves are transverse, longitudinal,surface waves ( C )
Waves transport energy,but not matter ( D )

<h3>What are mechanical waves ?</h3>

Mechanical waves are a category of waves which cannot transmit energy through a vacuum, i.e. they require a medium to transmit their energy from one end to another. An example of a mechanical wave is : sound wave. Mechanical waves are grouped into transverse, longitudinal and surface waves.

Hence we can conclude that The properties of mechanical waves are : The three categories of mechanical waves are transverse, longitudinal,surface waves and Waves transport energy,but not matter

A man weighing 700 NN and a woman weighing 440 NN have the same momentum. What is the ratio of the man's kinetic energy KmKmK_m

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The ratio of the man's kinetic energy to that of the woman's kinetic energy is 0.629.

Explanation:

Given;

weight of the man, W = 700 N

Weight of the woman, W = 440 N

momentum is given by;

$P = mv\\\\v = \frac{P}{m}$

Kinetic energy of the man;

$K_m = \frac{1}{2}m_m(\frac{P_m}{m_m})^2 \\\\K_m = \frac{P_m^2}{2m_m}$

Momentum of the man is calculated as;

$P_m^2 = 2m_mK_m$

The kinetic energy of the woman is given by;

$K_w = \frac{P_w^2}{2m_w}$

The momentum of the woman is given;

$P_w^2 = 2m_wK_w$

Since, momentum of the man = momentum of the woman

$P_m^2 = P_w^2$

$2m_mK_m = 2m_wK_w\\\\\frac{K_m}{K_w} = \frac{2m_w}{2m_m}\\\\\frac{K_m}{K_w} = \frac{m_w}{m_m}$

mass of the mas = 700 / 9.8 = 71.429

mass of the woman is = 440 / 9.8 = 44.898

$\frac{K_m}{K_w} = \frac{44.898}{71.429}\\\\\frac{K_m}{K_w} =0.629$

Therefore, the ratio of the man's kinetic energy to that of the woman's kinetic energy is 0.629.

1. Which system has a higher random, average kinetic energy of its atoms, a glass of iced tea or a cup of hot tea?

natita [175]

The average kinetic energy of the particles is higher in the hot tea, so it also has greater thermal energy then the cold tea.

What are the three rules for writing the electron configuration of elements

astraxan [27]

Answer:

The aufbau principle

The Pauli exclusion principle

Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity

Explanation:

The aufbau principle:

The fundamental electronic configuration is achieved by placing the electrons one by one in the different orbitals available for the atom, which are arranged in increasing order of energy.

The Pauli exclusion principle:

Two electrons of the same atom cannot have their four equal quantum numbers. Because each orbital is defined by the quantum numbers n, l, and m, there are only two possibilities ms = -1/2 and ms = +1/2, which physically reflects that each orbital can contain a maximum of two electrons, having opposite spins

Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity:

This rule says that when there are several electrons occupying degenerate orbitals, of equal energy, they will do so in different orbitals and with parallel spins, whenever this is possible. Because electrons repel each other, the minimum energy configuration is one that has electrons as far away as possible from each other, and that is why they are distributed separately before two electrons occupy the same orbital.
