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.

Five identical quintuplets leave earth when they reach the age of 21, in the year 2121. Each quintuplet goes on a spaceship jour

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a problem based on time dilation , a theory given by Albert Einstein .

The formula of time dilation is as follows .

t₁ = $\frac{t}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }$

t is time measured on the earth and t₁ is time measured by man on ship .

A ) Given t = 20 years , t₁ = ? v = .4c

$\frac{20}{\sqrt{1-\frac{.16c^2}{c^2} } }$

=1.09 x 20

t₁= 21.82 years

B ) Given t = 5 years , t₁ = ? v = .2c

$\frac{5}{\sqrt{1-\frac{.04c^2}{c^2} } }$

=1.02 x 5

t₁= 5.1 years

C ) Given t = 10 years , t₁ = ? v = .8c

$\frac{10}{\sqrt{1-\frac{.64c^2}{c^2} } }$

=1.67 x 10

t₁= 16.7 years

D ) Given t = 10 years , t₁ = ? v = .4c

$\frac{10}{\sqrt{1-\frac{.16c^2}{c^2} } }$

=1.09 x 10

t₁= 10.9 years

E ) Given t = 20 years , t₁ = ? v = .8c

$\frac{20}{\sqrt{1-\frac{.64c^2}{c^2} } }$

=1.67 x 20

t₁= 33.4 years

By what factor must the amplitude of a sound wave be decreased in order to decrease the intensity by a factor of 3?

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Amplitude is decreased by a factor of $\sqrt3$ if intensity is decreased by a factor of 3.

Explanation:

Intensity of a sound wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.

Therefore, if intensity is $I$ and amplitude is $A$ , then

$I=kA^2$ , where, $k$ is constant of proportionality.

Now, if intensity of sound wave is decreased by a factor of 3. So,

New intensity is, $I_{new}=\frac{I}{3}$

$I_{new}=kA_{new}^2\\\frac{I}{3}=kA_{new}^2$

Plug in $kA^2$ for $I$ . This gives,

$\frac{kA^2}{3}=kA_{new}^2\\A_{new}^2=\frac{A^2}{3}\\A_{new}=\sqrt{\frac{A^2}{3}}=\frac{A}{\sqrt{3}}$

Therefore, amplitude is decreased by a factor of $\sqrt3$ .

If a force of 3000 N is applied to a large rock, but the rock does not move, how much work is done on the rock?

kkurt [141]

Answer:

No work was done.

W = 0

Explanation:

Work is said to be done whenever a force of one newton moves a body of one kilogram through a distance of one meter. Meaning the applied force has to move the body from a point of rest through certain distance.

Work = force × distance

So, in the case of this question, we only have the force been applied, but no distance was covered. Hence, no work was done.

W = 3000× 0 meter

W = 0
