1. a. longitudinal waves.

There are two types of waves:

- Transverse waves: in transverse waves, the oscillations of the wave occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave

- Longitudinal waves: in longitudinal waves, the oscillations of the waves occur parallel to the direction in which the waves are travelling.

So, these types of waves are called longitudinal waves.

2. d. a medium

There are two types of waves:

- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field, and they can travel both in a medium and also in a vacuum (they do not need a medium to propagate)

- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, so they need a medium to propagate - therefore, the correct choice is d. a medium

3. a. AM/FM radio

Analogue signals consist of continuous signals, which vary in a continuous range of values. On the contrary, digital signals consist of discrete signals, which can assume only some discrete values. For AM and FM radios, signals are transmitted by using analogue signals.

Answer:

a) m_v = m_s (( $\frac{w_o}{w}$ )² - 1) , b) m_v = 1.07 10⁻¹⁴ g

Explanation:

a) The angular velocity of a simple harmonic motion is

w² = k / m

where k is the spring constant and m is the mass of the oscillator

let's apply this expression to our case,

silicon only

w₉² = $\frac{K}{m_s}$

k = w₀² m_s

silicon with virus

w² = $\frac{k}{m_s + m_v}$

k = w² (m_v + m_s)

in the two expressions the constant k is the same and q as the one property of the silicon bar, let us equal

w₀² m_s = w² (m_v + m_s)

m_v = ( $\frac{w_o}{w}$ )² m_s - m_s

m_v = m_s (( $\frac{w_o}{w}$ )² - 1)

b) let's calculate

m_v = 2.13 10⁻¹⁶ [( $\frac{20.4}{2.85}$ )² - 1)]

m_v = 1.07 10⁻¹⁴ g

Think about the force that causes a planet to orbit the Sun and the direction of this

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

1) For the swung puck tied to the string that has a mass m₁ and having another mass m₂ attached to the string that passes through a hole in the table, such that m₂ > m₁

The swung puck rotating on the table is kept in the circular motion on the table by the centripetal force acting towards the center of its rotation along the string, which is given by the amount the weight of m₂ exceeds m₁, in the same way a planet moving around the Sun is kept in its orbit by the gravitational attraction between the planet and the Sun.

2) i) The forces acting on the puck are;

a) The centripetal force in the string, acting inward, towards the center of rotation provided by the weight of m₂

b) The centrifugal force of the puck, acting outward, tending to continue its motion in a straight line

ii) The forces acting on the planet are;

a) The force of gravitational attraction between the planet and the Sun, acting towards the Sun, such that, the planet revolves around the Sun

b) The centrifugal force of the planet, acting outward, tending to move in a linear or straight path

wariber [46]

Answer:

Hi myself Shrushtee.

Explanation:

Artificial gravity is a must for any space station if humans are to live there for any extended length of time. Without artificial gravity, human growth is stunted and biological functions break down. An effective way to create artificial gravity is through the use of a rotating enclosed cylinder, as shown in the figure. Humans walk on the inside edge of the cylinder, which is sufficiently large (diameter of 2235 meters) that its curvature is not readably noticeable to the inhabitants. (The space station in the figure is not drawn to the scale of the human.) Once the space station is rotating at the necessary speed, how many minutes would it take the space station to make one revolution?

The distance traveled by the man in one revolution is simply the circumference of the space station, C = 2p R. From this result, you should be able to deduce the time it takes for the space station to sweep out a complete revolution.

1) Assertion: On Freely suspending a current carrying solenoid, it comes to rest in N-S direction just like a bar-magnet.

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. A solenoid is a coil which has many turns. When current flows through a solenoid, it behaves as an electromagnet. This behavior is due to the magnetic effect of an electric current thereby causing one end of the solenoid to behave as a north pole, while the other end as a south pole.The external influence of the earth's magnetism constrains the solenoid to come to rest in a N-S position just like a bar magnet.

2. The magnetic compass can be used to trace the alignments or patterns of the magnetic field around a current carrying wire. When current flows in a wire, it induces magnetic field around it. If the value of current is increased, the strength of the magnetic field would increase and vice versa. This shows that current is proportional to the strength of the magnetic field produced around the wire. Thus this causes a deflection of the compass appropriately, as the deflection of the compass is proportional to the strength of the field.

Find f0, the magnitude of the upward force on the table due to the leg at (0, 0.

Katena32 [7]

Assuming that the table has 4 legs. the upward force is equal to the downwardd force. the downward force of the table is the weight of the table. so the upward force is also the weight of the table but in opposite direction, so the upward force in on one leg is 1/4 of the weight of the table
