The answer is B on the quiz

Ksenya-84 [330]3 years ago

Answer: B.mechanical, because the vibrating tuning fork makes air molecules around it vibrate

Explanation:

<u>Mechanical waves require medium to transfer energy. It transfers energy due to vibration of medium particles. </u>The medium it self does not transport. The change in pressure of the medium particles causes transfer of energy through it.

Electromagnetic waves are produced by the electric  field and magnetic field vibrating perpendicular to each other. Electromagnetic waves can travel through space and medium.

<u>A tuning fork vibrates the air around it. The vibrating fork produces mechanical waves. </u>

blagie [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

electric field between plates

=  surface charge density / ε₀

= 108 x 10⁻¹² / 8.85 x 10⁻¹² (ε₀ = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² )

= 12.20 V/ m

Electric potential diff

= electric field x distance between plates

=  12.20 x 17 x 10⁻³ V

= 0.207 Volt

A car has a distance between axles of 6.2 m and a center of mass located 2.2 m from the front axle. What is the
NARA [144]

Answer:

The correct option is  C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The distance between axles of the car  is  d_a  =  6.2

     The position of the car's center of mass is  D  = 2.2 \ m  \ in \ front \  of  \  the \  axel

Now  we can evaluate the distance of the center of mass to the rear axle as follows

        k  =  d_a  -  D

substituting values

      k  =  6.2 -  2.2

      k  = 4 \ m

assuming the car is   at equilibrium,  taking moment about the center of mass

          W_{front \  axle} *  D  -  W_{rear \  axle} *  k  = 0

=>        W_{front \  axle} *  D     =  W_{rear \  axle} *  k

=>       \frac{W_{front \  axle}}{W_{rear \  axle} }       =    \frac{k}{D}

substituting values

             \frac{W_{front \  axle}}{W_{rear \  axle} }       =    \frac{4}{2.2}

           \frac{W_{front \  axle}}{W_{rear \  axle} }       =    1.81       Note [W_{front \  axle} is the front axle weight  and  

                                                      W_{rear \  axle} is the rear axle weight  ]

After a nucleus with 85 protons undergoes alpha decay, it has<br><br> ? protons.
Valentin [98]

Answer:

After a nucleus with 85 protons undergoes alpha decay, it has  83 protons.

Explanation:

In an alpha particle there are two protons

In the given substance's nucleus, there are total of 85 protons

After the decay, the proton number reduce

The current proton number after decay is

85 -2 = 83

After a nucleus with 85 protons undergoes alpha decay, it has  83 protons.

Why is there no overall electrical charge on an aluminium atom?
uranmaximum [27]
The electrical charge of particles. The total number of electrons in an atom is always the same as the number of protons in the nucleus. This means atoms have no overall electric charge. The number of protons in an atom is called its atomic hater number.

kompoz [17]

Answer:

both technician A and Technician B are correct

Explanation:

Technician A says balance shafts are used to counteract vibration created in the engine. Technician B says proper balancing of the engine is important for smooth operation. Which technician is correct

In piston engine engineering, a balance shaft is an eccentric weighted shaft that  counteracts vibrations in engine designs that are not inherently balanced. They were first invented and patented by British engineer Frederick W. Lanchester in 1904. ... .The balance shafts have eccentric weights and rotate in opposite direction to each other, which generates a net vertical force. Unavailability of the balance shaft can cause excessive vibration to the engine thereby damaging the oil pump and resulting to engine failure.
