<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>B. Sound waves can move through various mediums.</em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>A wave is a transmission of a disturbance from one point to another</u></em>. It involves transmission of energy from the source to another point.
  • <u><em>A wave may or may not require a medium for transmission.</em></u> Waves that require medium for transmission are called <em><u>mechanical waves </u></em>and those that do not require medium for transmission are known as <em><u>electromagnetic waves</u></em>.
  • <em><u>Light is an example of electromagnetic wave therefore it can be blocked when obstacles are placed on its path.</u></em> However, for the case of sound waves, they can not be blocked by an obstacle as sound would travel through the medium used to block.

A uniform beam resting on two pivots has a length L = 6.00 m and weight M = 220 lbs. The pivot under the left end exerts a norma
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

x = 4,138 m

Explanation:

For this exercise, let's use the rotational equilibrium equation.

Let's fix our frame of reference on the left side of the pivot, the positive direction for anti-clockwise rotation

         ∑ τ = 0

         n₁ 0 - W L / 2 + n₂ 4 - W_woman  x = 0

         x = (- W L / 2 + 4n2) / W_woman

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI System

         M = 6 lbs (1 kg / 2.2 lb) = 2.72 kg

         M_woman = 130 lbs = 59.09 kg

Let's write the transnational equilibrium equation

         n₁ + n₂ - W - W_woman = 0

         n₁ + n₂ = W + W_woman

        n₁ + n₂ = (2.72 + 59.09) 9.8

At the point where the system begins to rotate, pivot 1 has no force on it, so its relation must be zero (n₁ = 0)

          n₂ = 605,738 N

 

Let's calculate

         x = (-2.72 9.8 6/2 + 4 605.738) / 59.09 9.8

         x = 4,138 m

A spinning disc rotating at 130 rev/min slows and stops 31 s later. how many revolutions did the disc make during this time?
gayaneshka [121]
F = 130 revs/min = 130/60 revs/s = 13/6 revs/s
t = 31s
wi = 2πf = 2π × 13/6 = 13π/3 rads/s
wf = 0 rads/s = wi + at
a = -wi/t = -13π/3 × 1/31 = -13π/93 rads/s²
wf² - wi² = 2a∅
-169π²/9 rads²/s² = 2 × -13π/93 rads/s² × ∅
∅ = 1209π/18 rads
n = ∅/2π = (1209π/18)/(2π) = 1209/36 ≈ 33.5833 revolutions.
