What is general relativity in easy terms?

2 answers:

4 0

it explains that what we perceive as the force of gravity in fact arises from the curvature of space and time. Einstein proposed that objects such as the sun and the Earth change this geometry

What determines an object’s thermal energy

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

temperature and mass

Explanation:

The higher the temperature of a given quantity of a substance, more is its thermal energy.

If a substance contains more mass, this also implies that the object has more particles in it . hence, it has high thermal energy.

Additional Information :

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.

The thermal energy of an object depends on three factors:

number of molecules in the object
temperature of the object.
thermal energy it has.

What are the units, if any, of the particle in a box wavefunction. What does this mean?

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

$[\psi]= [Length^{-3/2}]$
This means that the integral of the square modulus over the space is dimensionless.

Explanation:

We know that the square modulus of the wavefunction integrated over a volume gives us the probability of finding the particle in that volume. So the result of the integral

$\int\limits^{x_f}_{x_0} \int\limits^{yf}_{y_0} \int\limits^{z_f}_{z_0} |\psi|^2 \, dz \, dy \, dx$

must be dimensionless, as represents a probability.

As the differentials has units of length

$[dx]=[dy]=[dz]=[Length]$

for the integral to be dimensionless, the units of the square modulus of the wavefunction has to be:

$[\psi]^2 = [Length^{-3}]$

taking the square root this gives us :

$[\psi] = [Length^{-3/2}]$

Transverse, surface, and longitudinal waves are all __________ waves because they __________.

algol [13]

Answer:

a. mechanical; require a medium to travel through

Explanation:

Longitudinal, transverse and surface waves are types of mechanical waves. For example, within the longitudinal waves are the sound waves, which needs a medium to propagate like the air. This is why sound does not travel in a vacuum.

And an example of a transverse wave is the waves that form in the water when a rock is thrown (ripples), these waves need a medium (the water) to propagate.

On the other hand, electromagnetic waves such as light waves do not need a medium to propagate, this is why we can see the light of distant stars because their light travels through the vacuum until it reaches us.

So, the answer is:

Transverse, surface, and longitudinal waves are all mechanical waves because they require a medium to travel through .
