Answer:

True

Explanation:

A wave is generated as a result of oscillations which creates disturbances in the medium and these disturbances termed as waves propagates or travels from one point to another.

Waves can be classifies as:

Mechanical waves which requires material medium for their propagation

Electromagnetic waves which do not require any material medium to propagate.

A wave travels at a specific velocity depending on the type of the medium in which it propagates.

What is the torque about the center of the sun due to the gravitational force of attraction of the sun on the planet?

Anon25 [30]

Torque, moment, or moment of force is the tendency of a force to rotate an object around an axis,fulcrum, or pivot. Just as a force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist to an object. Mathematically, torque is defined as the cross product of the vector by which the force's application point is offset relative to the fixed suspension point (distance vector) and the force vector, which tends to produce rotational motion. So torque about the center of the sun due to the gravitational force of attraction of the sun on the planet = (Gxm1xm2 / r^2). r sin(theta) = Gxm1xm2 /r^2). r sin0° = 0

A bicycle wheel of radius 0.28 m rolls down a hill without slipping. Its linear velocity increases constantly from 0 to 8 m/s in

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

10.989 rad/s²

Explanation:

Angular Acceleration: This is the acceleration of a body that undergoes a circular motion. The S.I unit of angular acceleration is rad/s²

The expression for angular acceleration is given as

a = αr.............. Equation 1

Where a = linear acceleration, α = angular acceleration, r = radius.

make α the subject of the equation

α = a/r............. Equation 2.

But,

a = (v-u)/t ............. Equation 3

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

substitute equation 3 into equation 2

α = (v-u)/rt............ Equation 4

Given: v = 8 m/s, u = 0 m/s, r = 0.28 m, t = 2.6 s

Substitute into equation 4

α = (8-0)/(0.28×2.6)

α = 8/0.728

α = 10.989 rad/s²

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Question not completed, so I analysed the question first

Tony drove to the mountains last weekend. there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 6 hours. when tony drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 4 hours. if his average rate was 22 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does tony live from the mountains?

Explanation:

Let use variables to solve the problems

Let the first trip to be mountain take x hours

Let the trip back home take y hours

Let the speed to while going to the mountain be a miles/hour

Then, while going home it was b miles/hour faster than while going to the mountain.

Then, speed going home is (a+b)miles / hour

The formula for speed is given as

Speed=distance/time

The constant through out the journey is distance, the two journey has the same distance.

Then,

Distance =speed×time

For first journey going to the mountain

Distance = a×x=ax miles

For the second journey going home

Distance =y×(a+b)

Distance Mountain= distance home

ax=y(a+b)

Make a subject of the formula

ax=ya+yb

ax-ya=yb

a(x-y)=yb

a=yb/(x-y)

Therefore, distance from mountain is

Distance=speed ×time

Distance= a×x=ax

Now, applying the questions

So from the questions

x=6hours, y=4hours

Also, b=22miles/hour

Then,

a=yb/(x-y)

a=4×22/(6-4)

a=88/2

a=44miles/hour

Then, the house distance from the mountain is

Distance=ax

Distance =44×6

Distance =264miles

Explanation:

Image result for The energy from the sun can be used in many different ways. Describe two examples of how humans use the energy from the sun in their everyday lives. Make sure that one of your examples includes an energy transformation and explain the form it takes after it is transformed.

Solar energy is transformed into other energy forms for our use on Earth – energy for food (chemical energy), electrical energy and heat energy. Energy from the Sun is transformed into chemical energy, which is passed along in a food chain. Without the Sun, there would be no life on Earth
