Answer:   C. series of compression and rarefaction.

Explanation:

A longitudinal wave is the one where medium particles oscillate in the direction of wave motion. The energy is transferred by series of compression and rarefaction. Compression is region of high density of medium particles and rarefaction is the low density region through which the wave travels.

<u>Thus, a P wave of earthquake which is a longitudinal wave traverses through soil by a series of compression and rarefaction. </u>

Consider 3.5 kg of austenite containing 0.95 wt% c and cooled to below 727°c (1341°f). (a) what is the proeutectoid phase? (b) h
vladimir2022 [97]
A. The proeutectoid phase is Fe₃c because 0.95 wt/c  is greater than the eutectoid composition which is 0.76 wt/c

b.  We determine how much total territe and cementite form, we apply the lever rule expressions yields.
Wx = (fe₃c-co/cfe₃ c-cx = 6.70- 0.95/6.70- 0.022 = 0.86
The total cementite
Wfe₃C = 10-Cx/ Cfe₃c -Cx = 0.95 - 0.022/6.70 - 0.022 = 0.14
The total cementite which is formed is 
(0.14) × (3.5kg) = 0.49kg

c.  We calculate the pearule and the procutectoid phase which cementite form the equation
Ci = 0.95 wt/c
Wp = 6.70 -ci/6.70 - 0.76 = 6.70 -0.95/6.70 - 0.76 = 0.97
0.97 corresponds to mass.
W fe₃ C¹ = Ci - 0.76/5.94 = 0.03
∴ It is equivalent to 
(0.03) × (3.5) = 0.11kg of total of 3.5kg mass.

what is the name of the area around a charged object where the object can exert a force on other charged objects?
shusha [124]

Answer:

An electric field is a region around a charged object where the object's electric force is exerted on other charged objects. Electric fields get weaker the farther away they are from the charge. An electric field is invisible. You can use the field line to represent it.

Stars form from clouds of gas and dust. As a protostar gravitationally contracts within its parent cloud, "conservation of angul
vredina [299]

Answer:

D) True. the protostar rotates more quickly.

Explanation:

If the system is isolated, the angular momentum must be retained.

Initial

        L₀ = I w₀

Final

       L_{f} = I_{f}  w_{f}

      L₀ = L_{f}

      I w₀ = I_{f}w_{f}

     w_{f}  = I /I_{f} w₀

In general, the radius of the cloud decreases significantly to form the star, the moment of inertia must decrease, so the angular velocity must increase

Let's examine the answers

A) False. The opposite happens

B) False. Speed ​​changes

C) False. For this there must be an external force, which does not exist

D) True. You agree with the above

A ball is released from rest at a height of 10 m and falls freely to the
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The new kinetic energy would be 16 times greater than before.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is found using this formula:

  • KE = 1/2mv²
  • where KE = kinetic energy (J), m = mass (kg), and v = velocity (m/s)

We can see that kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity, meaning that if the speed was increased by 4 times, then the kinetic energy would get increased by a factor of 16.

The velocity just before the ball hits the ground can be found by the equation:

  • √(2gh)

Let's substitute h = 10 m and h = 40 m into this formula.

  • √(2g(10))
  • √(2g(40))

We can see that the velocity increases by a factor of 4 (10 m → 40 m).

Therefore, this means that the kinetic energy would also be increased by a factor of (4)² = 16. Thus, the answer is D) The new kinetic energy would be 16 times greater than before.
