Longitudinal waves cannot travel through a vacuum. True False

1 answer:

4 0

FALSE Only electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum; mechanical waves such as sound waves require a particle-interaction to transport their energy. There are no particles in a vacuum. Waves are either longitudinal or transverse.

The velocity of a 0.25kg model rocket changes from 15m/s [up] to 40m/s [up] in

vivado [14]

The force the escaping gas exerts of the rocket is 10.42 N.

<h3>Force escaping gas exerts</h3>

The force the escaping gas exerts of the rocket is calculated as follows;

F = m(v - u)/t

where;

m is mass of the rocket
v is the final velocity of the rocket
u is the initial velocity of the rocket
t is time of motion

F = (0.25)(40 - 15)/0.6

F = 10.42 N

Thus, the force the escaping gas exerts of the rocket is 10.42 N.

A light horizontal spring has a spring constant of 138 N/m. A 3.35 kg block is pressed against one end of the spring, compressin

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

$U_k = 0.113$

Explanation:

using the law of the conservation of energy:

$E_i -E_f=W_f$

$\frac{1}{2}Kx^2=NU_kd$

where K is the spring constant, x is the spring compression, N is the normal force of the block, $U_k$ is the coefficiet of kinetic friction and d is the distance.
