Answer:

Mechanical waves

Explanation:

As per the criteria of wave propagation we can divide the waves into two parts

1). Mechanical waves : Those waves which require medium to travel then it is known as mechanical waves

examples: Sound waves, String waves etc

2) Non Mechanical waves: Those waves which do not require any medium to propagate is known as non mechanical waves.

Examples : Light waves, electromagnetic waves etc

So here correct answer would be Mechanical waves

Ierofanga [76]

$\sqrt{2}$ Answer:

KE2 = 2 KE1

1/2 M V2^2 = 2 * (1/2 M V1^2)

V2^2 = 2 V1^2

V2 = $\sqrt{2}$ V1

Since momentum = M V the momentum increases by $\sqrt{2}$

The troughs or zero amplitude of a standing wave are called ____________.

konstantin123 [22]

Each successive graph is at a later time. You can see from these graphs how the amplitude of the total electric field changes, but the positions of the crests and troughs (called antinodes) and places of zero field (called nodes) never change.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which of the following statements is true about magnetic fields.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The earth's magnetic field protects the surface from strong electrical currents coming from the sun

Explanation:

The Earth's magnetic field called the “magnetosphere” – protects our atmosphere from the “solar wind.” That's the constant stream of charged particles flowing outward from the sun. When the magnetosphere shields the Earth from these solar particles, they get funneled toward the polar regions of our atmosphere.

The Earth's magnetic field serves to deflect most of the solar wind, whose charged particles would otherwise strip away the ozone layer that protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. One stripping mechanism is for gas to be caught in bubbles of magnetic field, which are ripped off by solar winds.

A person kicks a ball, giving it an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s up a wooden ramp. When the ball reaches the top, it becomes air

Bess [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

given,

initial velocity of the ball = 20 m/s

angle of ramp = 22°

ball travel at a distance = 5 m

a) for friction less

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 - mgh$
