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
7 0

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.

In a particular case of an object in front of a spherical mirror with a focal length of +12.0 cm, the magnification is +4.00.(a)
salantis [7]

Answer:

9 cm

-36 cm

Explanation:

u = Object distance

v = Image distance

f = Focal length = 12

m = Magnification = 4

m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow 4=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow v=-4u

Lens equation

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{12}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{-4u}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{12}=\frac{3}{4u}\\\Rightarrow u=9\ cm

Object distance is 9 cm

v=-4\times 9=-36\ cm

Image distance is -36 cm (other side of object)

Is the star moving toward earth, away from earth, or is there not enough information provided to determine its motion?
ivanzaharov [21]

If a star is moving towards Earth, shift towards the blue end of the spectrum, this is called blue shift. If the star is moving away from Earth the light from that star will be red and is called red shift .

The faster a star moves towards the earth, the more its light is shifted to higher frequencies. In contrast, if a star is moving away from the earth, its light is shifted to lower frequencies on the color spectrum

if a star is moving towards Earth, it appears to emit light that is shorter in wavelength compared to a source of light that isn't moving. Because shorter wavelengths correspond to a shift towards the blue end of the spectrum, this is called blue shift.

If the star is moving away from Earth, its light will lose energy to reach Earth, therefore the light from that star will be red and is called red shift

The movement of water is like the flow of the electricity. Electricity must have a complete path for the flow. This movement is
Mama L [17]
The answer is current.

Current in the context of an electrical circuit is the flow of charge. Current is a quantity that is physical and can be measured. Current is defined as the rate of the flow charge past a certain point in a circuit. Current is expressed in Amperes which is equal to 1 coulomb/1second.

A rocket takes off from Earth's surface, accelerating straight up at 63.2 m/s2. Calculate the normal force (in N) acting on an a
jarptica [38.1K]

From the calculation, the normal force is 6161.2 N.

<h3>What is the normal force?</h3>

The normal force is given by the expression;

N - mg = ma

Then;

N = mg + ma

m = 84.4 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

a = 63.2 m/s2

Now we have;

N = m(g + a)

N = 84.4 (9.8 + 63.2)

N = 6161.2 N
