How the behavior of waves is affected by a medium

Physics
1 answer:
Schach [20]3 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

Why are TV shows nowadays so boring?
Anna [14]

The answer is a matter of opinion, and you're going to get different answers
from different people.  Here's <u>my</u> take on it:

The writers, producers and advertising sponsors of these shows certainly
don't think they're boring.  And <em><u>definitely</u></em> neither do the TV networks that
decide which ones to broadcast. 

I'm not trying to say "The experts don't think they're boring, so you must
be wrong".  I'm trying to say that different people have different opinions
about the same shows, and in <em>your</em> case,<em> you</em> find them boring.

My conclusion is this: 
I think you're finding TV shows boring nowadays because you're growing
as a person.  You've grown, developed, and matured to the point where
you're above the level of audience that the shows are pitched for.  That's
a very good thing !

You're sad because you used to get pleasure and entertainment from TV,
and now it doesn't give you those things.  That's like losing an old friend,
that you used to have such fun playing with, but he just doesn't do it for
you any more.

Now that you've grown up, you've made new friends.  With them, you do
things that you wouldn't even understand with your younger friends.  And
you develop new interests, like ... I don't know ... books, movies, hobbies,
your church, your profession, learning new things, developing new skills,
exercising your brain, writing, volunteer work, ham radio, building fine
furniture, singing, learning to write music, raising tropical plants, sculpture,
politics ... whatever turns you on.  Some people never grow past the stage
where staring at the tube is all they need in life, because they don't have
what it takes to be interested in anything else.  Those are the people that
TV is aimed at.  But you have more, and that's why TV isn't enough for you.

There are other possible reasons why TV bores you.  But until I know more
about you, I think it's a very, very good sign.

Which of the following is true A. If the sum of the external forces on an object is zero, then the object must be in equilibrium
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

A. If the sum of the external forces on an object is zero, then the object must be in equilibrium

Explanation:

Equilibrium, in physics, the condition of a system when neither its state of motion nor its internal energy state tends to change with time.

For a single particle, equilibrium arises if the vector sum of all forces acting upon the particle is zero.

the object is at equilibrium, then the net force acting upon the object should be 0 Newton. Thus, if all the forces are added together as vectors, then the resultant force (the vector sum) should be 0 Newton.

There are three types of equilibrium: stable, unstable, and neutral
