What type of wave is sound? light pressure electromagnetic gamma

Physics
2 answers:
erastovalidia [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The answer is pressure

Explanation:

Sound waves are produced as a result of vibrating bodies which causes the surrounding air to vibrate thereby producing disturbance which travels out in form of longitudinal waves

Sound waves can also be referred to as pressure waves because the compression and refraction that moves through sound waves are of varrying pressure.

The effect of the varrying pressure is responsible for the sound you hear.

I hope I answered your question.

A golf ball stays on the tee until the golf club hits it. Which of the following principles best describes why this occurs? Grou
givi [52]

Answer:

Newton's First Law of Motion.

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that an object continues to stay in its state of rest, or of uniform motion, until acted upon by an external force.

So in the case of the golf ball here, the ball stays in its state of rest, on the tee, until the golf club hits it, i.e. , applies an external force on it.

Hence we can say that Newton's First Law of Motion is the principle which is most suitable for explaining this phenomenon.

A river 800m wide flows at the rate of 5km/h . A swimmer who can swim at 10km/h in still water wants to cross the river straight
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

At an angle of 30^{\circ}

Explanation:

Assume the river flows from East to West so for the swimmer to cross across it, assume he crosses it from West to East.

The resultant speed will be given by

R= \sqrt {10^{2}-5^{2}=\sqrt {75}\approx 8.66 km/h\\Direction=sin^{-1}\frac {5}{10}\approx 30^{\circ}

How did astronomers precisely determine the length of an Astronomical Unit in the 1960s?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Use of telemetry and radar astronomy

Explanation:

An astronomical Unit (AU) is a unit of measuring distances in outer space, which is based on the approximate distance between the earth and the Sun.

After several years of trying to approximate the distance between the Sun and the Earth using several methods based on geometry and some other calculations, advancements in technology made available the presence of special motoring equipment, which can be placed in outer space to remotely monitor and measure the position of the sun.

The use of direct radar measurements to the sun (radar astronomy) have also made the determination of the AU more accurate.

A standard radar pulse of known speed is sent to the Sun, and the time with which it takes to return is measured,  once this is recorded, the distance between the Earth and the Sun can be calculated using

distance = speed X time.

However, most of these means have to be corrected for parallax errors

Without completing the calculations, determine what the new volume will be in the problem below. Also, explain how you were able
Talja [164]
Boyles law

Pressure and volume are inversely proportional as the new variable changes from the known.

Double the pressure equals 1/2 of original volume, assuming temperature remains the same.

So 40.0 mL is the new volume as it is compressed.
