"Mechanical" means that someTHING is moving, so someTHING needs to be there waving, or else there can't be a mechanical wave.

A man fires a silver bullet of mass 2g with a velocity of200m/sec into wall. What is the temperature changeof the bullet? Note:
Sphinxa [80]

F=nmv

where;

n=no. of bullets = 1

m=mass of bullets=2g *10^-3

V=velocity of bullets200m/sec

F=1

loss in Kinetic energy=gain in heat energy

1/2MV^2=MS∆t

let M council M

=1/2V^2=S∆t

M=2g

K.E=MV^2/2

=(2*10^-3)(200)^2/2

2 councils 2

2*10^-3*4*10/2

K.E=40Js

H=mv∆t

(40/4.2)

40Js=40/4.2=mc∆t

40/4.2=2*0.03*∆t

=158.73°C

What is the frequency of radiation whose wavelength is 2.40 x 10-5 cm?
S_A_V [24]
<span>To begin, the formula for finding frequency when wavelength is known is "f = c / w" when c is the constant velocity (3 * 10^8 m/s). To convert the wavelength into a common form (m/s), it will have to be multiplied by 10^-2. This leaves the equation as "f = 3.0 * 10^8 / (2.4 * 10^-5 * 10^-2), or 2.4 * 10^-7. This gives 1.25 * 10^15 m/s as the frequency.</span>

In the aftermath of an intense earthquake, the earth as a whole "rings" with a period of 54 minutes.
lawyer [7]

The frequency of the oscillation in hertz is calculated to be 0.00031 Hz.

The frequency of a wave is defined as the number of cycles completed per second while the period refers to the time taken to complete a cycle. The frequency is the inverse of period.

So;

Period(T) = 54 minutes or 3240 seconds

Frequency (f) = T-1 = 1/T = 1/3240 seconds = 0.00031 Hz
