How the behavior of waves is affected by a medium

Physics
1 answer:
Schach [20]4 years ago
3 0
The medium determines the speed of the wave traveling in it, which also can have a number of other effects, including how much the wave bends (refracts), whether it reflects, etc.
Because waves move through space, they must have a velocity. The velocity of a wave is a function of the type of wave, and the medium it travels through. Electromagnetic waves moving through a vacuum, for instance, travel at roughly 3 x

A sled is initially given a shove up a frictionless 37.0 ∘ incline. It reaches a maximum vertical height 1.20 m higher than wher
labwork [276]

The initial speed of the sled at the given height is 4.85 m/s.

<h3>Initial speed of the sled</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of energy;

K.E = P.E

¹/₂mv² = mgh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

where;

  • h is the vertical height reached
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

v = √(2 x 9.8 x 1.2)

v = 4.85 m/s

Thus, the initial speed of the sled at the given height is 4.85 m/s.

A 500kg elevator is raised to a height of 10 m in 10 seconds. Calculate the power of the motor.
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Correct answer: Third statement  P = 4900 W

Explanation:

Given:

m = 500 kg  the mass of the elevator

h = 10 m  reached height after t = 10 seconds

P = ? power of the motor

The formula for the calculating power of the motor is:

P = W / t

since work is a measure of change in this case of potential energy then it is:

W = ΔEp = Ep - 0 = Ep

In this case we must take g = 9.81 m/s²

Ep = m g h = 500 · 9.81 · 10 = 49,050 W ≈ 49,000 W

Ep ≈ 49,000 W

P = Ep / t = 49,000 / 10 = 4,900 W

P =4,900 W

an object is moving with initial velocity of 5 m/s. After 10 seconds final velocity is 10 m/s. Calculate its acceleration.​
Brut [27]

Answer:

0.5m/s2

Explanation:

acceleration= change in velocity/time taken

= v - u/ t

= 10-5/10

=5/10

= 0.5m/s2
