A wave propagates at a well defined velocity that depends on the properties of the medium that carries the wave. True or false?

Physics
1 answer:
likoan [24]4 years ago

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.

A motorboat accelerates uniformly from a velocity of 6.5 m/s to the west to a velocity of 1.5 m/s to the west. If its accelerati

Answer:

The displacement of the boat is 7.41 m

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the motorboat, u = 6.5 m/s west

final velocity of the motorboat, v = 1.5 m/s west

acceleration of the motorboat, a = -2.7 m/s² east

The displacement of the boat is given by;

v² = u² + 2ad

where;

d is the displacement of the motorboat

1.5² = 6.5² + 2(-2.7)d

1.5² -  6.5² = -5.4d

-40 = -5.4d

d = (40) / 5.4

d = 7.41 m

Therefore, the displacement of the boat is 7.41 m

Hot air balloon with a kinetic energy of 76550J and a mass of 1890kg.<br> what’s the velocity?
lukranit [14]

Answer:

K.E =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}  \\ 76550 = \frac{1}{2} (1890) {v}^{2} \\  {v}^{2}  =  \frac{76550}{945}  \\  = 81.005 \\ v =  \sqrt{81.005}  \\ v  \approx \: 9m. {sec}^{ - 1}

What is the difference between a homogeneous mixture and heterogeneous mixture?
Semenov [28]
Homogenous mixtures don't have visible constituents. An example of this would be water.

Heterogenous ones have visible constituents and an example would be if you put some dirt in water and then it wouldn't mix properly and you could see the dirt in it.

1. What is work done in holding a 15kg suitcase while waiting for a bus for 15 minutes?
Tems11 [23]
Work is (force applied) x (distance through which the force moves).

Since the suitcase doesn't move up or down during the 15 minutes,
no work is done ... zero, zip, nada ... according to the real Physics
definition of 'work'.

Two objects are dropped from rest from the same height. Object A falls through a distance <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=d_A"
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The answer to your question is given below

Explanation:

Since both object A and B were dropped from the same height and the air resistance is negligible, both object A and B will get to the ground at the same time.

From the question, we were told that object A falls through a distance to dA at time t and object B falls through a distance of dB at time 2t.

Remember, both objects must get to the ground at the same time..!

Let the time taken for both objects to get to the ground be t.

Time A = Time B = t

But B falls through time 2t

Therefore,

Time A = Time B = 2t

Height = 1/2gt^2

For A:

Time = 2t

dA = 1/2 x g x (2t)^2

dA = 1/2g x 4t^2

For B

Time = t

dB = 1/2 x g x t^2

Equating dA and dB

dA = dB

1/2g x 4t^2 = 1/2 x g x t^2

Cancel out 1/2, g and t^2

4 = 1

4dA = dB

Divide both side by 4

dA = 1/4 dB
