Answer: Longitudinal wave

Explanation:

Longitudinal wave are the oscillations that are parallel to the direction of energy transfer that means the vibrations are in line with the direction where the energy is travelling.

A key feature of sound wave is that they cause sound particles to vibrate. The region where the particles are close together are called compressions and regions where particles are further apart they are called rarefactions.

The other options explanation:

-Transverse waves are where the oscillations are perpendicular to the energy of transfer.

-A standing wave is where the waves are travelling back and forth where there are some fixed points in the system whilst other vibrate with highest amplitude

-Surface waves have both the characteristics of longitudinal and transverse waves

A solid circular shaft and a tubular shaft, both with the same outer radius of c=co = 0.550 in , are being considered for a part

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The power for circular shaft is 7.315 hp and tubular shaft is 6.667 hp

Explanation:

Polar moment of Inertia

$(I_p)s = \frac{\pi(0.55)4}2$

= 0.14374 in 4

Maximum sustainable torque on the solid circular shaft

$T_{max} = T_{allow} \frac{I_p}{r}$

= $(14 \times 10^3) \times (\frac{0.14374}{0.55})$

= 3658.836 lb.in

= $\frac{3658.836}{12}$ lb.ft

= 304.9 lb.ft

Maximum sustainable torque on the tubular shaft

$T_{max} = T_{allow}( \frac{Ip}{r})$

= $(14 \times10^3) \times ( \frac{0.13101}{0.55})$

= 3334.8 lb.in

= $(\frac{3334.8}{12} )$ lb.ft

= 277.9 lb.ft

Maximum sustainable power in the solid circular shaft

$P_{max} = 2 \pi f_T$

= $2\pi(2.1) \times 304.9$

= 4023.061 lb. ft/s

= $(\frac{4023.061}{550})$ hp

= 7.315 hp

Maximum sustainable power in the tubular shaft

$P _{max,t} = 2\pi f_T$

= $2\pi(2.1) \times 277.9$

= 3666.804 lb.ft /s

= $(\frac{3666.804}{550})$ hp

= 6.667 hp

once you decide that it is safe to move out of traffic, what steps should you follow to ensure safe passage?

Solnce55 [7]

First put your turn signal on, next check for any ongoing traffic and wait until it is clear lastly start to drift into the lane you need to clear away from traffic

A 2.31 kg rope is stretched between supports 10.4 m apart. If one end of the rope is tweaked, how long will it take for the resu

zlopas [31]

Answer:

t = 0.657 s

Explanation:

First, let's use the appropiate equations to solve this:

V = √T/u

This expression gives us a relation between speed of a disturbance and the properties of the material, in this case, the rope.

Where:

V: Speed of the disturbance

T: Tension of the rope

u: linear density of the rope.

The density of the rope can be calculated using the following expression:

u = M/L

Where:

M: mass of the rope

L: Length of the rope.

We already have the mass and length, which is the distance of the rope with the supports. Replacing the data we have:

u = 2.31 / 10.4 = 0.222 kg/m

Now, replacing in the first equation:

V = √55.7/0.222 = √250.9

V = 15.84 m/s

Finally the time can be calculated with the following expression:

V = L/t ----> t = L/V

Replacing:

t = 10.4 / 15.84

t = 0.657 s
