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

m/s. This value is so famous and common in physics it is given its own symbol, c.

 Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.Displacement<span> is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

</span>To calculate displacement<span>, simply draw a vector from your starting point to your final position and solve for the length of this line. If your starting and ending position are the same, like your circular 5K route, then your </span>displacement<span> is 0. In physics, </span>displacement<span> is represented by Δs.
 
 For me to solve this I would need to know the time, but I can give you a handy displacement calculator I used that helped me.

Which of the following illustrates an increase in potential energy? Group of answer choices a wind-up toy winding down a person
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

A person climbs a set of stairs

Explanation:

Potential energy is said to be possessed by an object due to its position. As the height from the ground level increase, the potential energy increases. It is calculated by the below formula as :

P = mgh

Out of the given options, the option that illustrates an increase in potential energy is option (b) i.e. a person climbs a set of stairs. As he steps one stair, its position from ground increases. It means its potential energy increases.

Why you cannot use an elastic measuring tape to measure distance. What problem you may face if you use it
Stells [14]

The problem you would encounter is measuring the height of two different people, a tall one and a short one, and getting the same answer for both of them.

No matter WHAT we're hearing out of the White House these days, you CAN'T bend and stretch your standard measuring devices, or any other 'facts', to make them fit the thing that you're measuring.  This does not work.  You're always entitled to your own opinions, but you're not entitled to your own facts.
