Which definition of a compression is correct?

Physics
1 answer:
viktelen [127]2 years ago
7 0

Compression is the term for the reduction in volume that stress causes in any object or material. Living systems as well as solids, liquids, and gases may all endure compression. For example, the pressure of the atmosphere at sea level is the standard, or reference, for most land animals, but the standard for deep-sea fishes and similar specialized forms is the normal pressure of their environment. In the latter, compression is measured against the system's volume at the standard pressure to which an organism is subjected.

A particle moves along the x axis so that its velocity at time t is given by v(t)=
vodomira [7]

Answer:

a = 0.7267 ,  acceleration is positive therefore the speed is increasing  

Explanation:

The definition of acceleration is

         a = dv / dt

they give us the function of speed

         v = - (t-1) sin (t² / 2)

         a = - sin (t²/2) -  (t-1) cos (t²/2)  2t / 2

         a = - sin (t²/2) - t (t-1)  cos (t²/2)

the acceleration for t = 4 s

          a = - sin (4²/2) - 4 (4-1) cos (4²/2)

          a = -sin 8 - 12 cos 8

remember that the angles are in radians

          a = 0.7267

the problem does not indicate the units, but to be correct they must be m/s²

We see that the acceleration is positive therefore the speed is increasing

Describe the nature of sunlight using the following: wavelength, electromagnetic spectrum, visible light, photons.
kogti [31]

Answer:

due to the effect of gravity begins thermonuclear fusion processes, in these processes energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation

Explanation:

The Sun is a star of great size, which due to the effect of gravity begins thermonuclear fusion processes, in these processes energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation.

This radiation crosses the different layers of the Sun and escapes from it in the form of light that is emitted throughout the radiation spectrum, due to the temperature reached by the Sun about 5500K the most likely radiation is around 5500 nm corresponding to the green- yellow of the visible spectrum, but the entire spectrum is emitted with different intensity according to Stefan's law

     

In quantum mechanics this spectrum can also be analyzed as the emission of particles called photons, where each one is characterized by an energy and has a moment equal to zero, the energy of these photons is related to their frequency by the Planck equation

A projectile is fored vertically upward with an initial velocity of 190 m/s. Find the maximum height of the projectile.​
RSB [31]

Answer:

3683.67 m

Explanation:

Formula for maximum height of projectile is given by the equation;

h = u²/2g

Where u is initial velocity and g is acceleration due to gravity

We are given u = 190 m/s

Thus;

h = 190²/9.8

h = 36100/9.8

h = 3683.67 m

Two rings of radius 5 cm are 20 cm apart and concentric with a common horizontal x-axis. The ring on the left carries a uniforml
Yanka [14]

Answer:

The electric field due to the right ring at a location midway between the two rings is 2.41\times10^{3}\ V/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of first ring = 5 cm

Radius of second ring = 20 cm

Charge on the left of the ring = +30 nC

Charge on the right of the ring = -30 nC

We need to calculate the electric field due to the right ring at a location midway between the two rings

Using formula of  electric field

E=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}\times\dfrac{qx}{(x^2+R^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}

Put the value into the formula

E=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times30\times10^{-9}\times0.1}{((0.1)^2+(0.2)^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}

E=2.41\times10^{3}\ V/m

Hence, The electric field due to the right ring at a location midway between the two rings is 2.41\times10^{3}\ V/m
