Longitudinal sound waves cannot propagate through

Physics
1 answer:
SVEN [57.7K]3 years ago
7 0
<h2>Answer: Vacuum</h2>

Longitudinal sound waves are mechanical waves, that is, <u>they necessarily need a medium to propagate</u> (unlike electromagnetic waves) therefore they cannot propagate in vacuum.

This is because in this type of longitudinal waves, the vibration is parallel to the propagation direction of the wave itself. These disturbances are due to the <u>successive compressions of the medium</u>, where the particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave.

natta225 [31]
Wavelength can be calculated using the following formula: wavelength = wave velocity/frequency. Wavelength usually is expressed in units of meters.

Find the magnitude of the impulse delivered to a soccer ball when a player kicks it with a force of 1450 N . Assume that the pla
juin [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of Impulse. Which is described as the product between the Force and the change in time. Mathematically this can be described as

I = F \Delta t

Where,

F = Force

\Delta t= Time

Our values are given as,

F = 1450N

\Delta t = 5.1*10^{-3} s

Replacing we have,

I = (1450)(5.1*10^{-3})

I = 7.395Kg\cdot m/s

Therefore the impulse delivered to the soccer ball is 7.395Kg\cdot m/s or  7.395N\cdot s

What is the sprinters output at 2.0 s, 4.0 s and 6.0 s?
kari74 [83]

A 59 kg sprinter, starting from rest, runs 47 m in 7.0 s at constant acceleration.?  

What is the sprinter's power output at 2.0 s, 4.0 s, and 6.0 s?  

Instantaneous Power is the force times velocity  

P = Fv  

Because the acceleration is constant, the force will be constant as well  

F = ma  

P = mav  

for constant acceleration, the velocity at each time is found using  

v = at  

P = ma(at) = ma²t  

find the acceleration using kinematic equation  

s = ½at²  

a = 2s/t²  

a = 2(47) / 7.0²  

a = 1.918 m/s²  

P(2.0) = 59(1.918²)2.0 = 434.25 W = 0.43 kW  

P(4.0) = 59(1.918²)4.0 = 868.51 W = 0.87 kW  

P(6.0) = 59(1.918²)6.0 = 1302.76 W = 1.3 kW  

I hope this helped.

Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
arsen [322]

Answer:

Given that

speed u=4*10^6 m/s

electric field E=4*10^3 N/c

distance b/w the plates d=2 cm

basing on the concept of the electrostatices

now we find the acceleration b/w the plates  to find the horizontal distance traveled by the electron when it hits the plate.

acceleration a=qE/m=1.6*10^{-19}*4*10^3/9.1*10^{-31} =0.7*10^{15}=7*10^{14} m/s

now we find the horizontal distance traveled by electrons hit the plates

horizontal distance

X=u[2y/a]^{1/2}

=4*10^6[2*2*10^{-2}/7*10^{14}]^{1/2}

=3*10^{-2}= 3 cm
