Compare and contrast the two different types of mechanical waves?

Physics

prohojiy [21]3 years ago
5 0
There are longitudinal and transverse.  Both types of mechanical waves require a medium, transport energy, and have defined wavelengths, frequencies, and speeds.
Differences are that transverse waves oscillate along a direction perpendicular to the direction of travel (like shaking a rope up and down).  Longitudinal waves like oscillations along a spring and sound waves, oscillate back and forth along the direction of travel.

Answer:

the volume decreases at the rate of 500cm³ in 1 min

Explanation:

given

v = 1000cm³, p = 80kPa, Δp/t= 40kPa/min

PV=C

vΔp + pΔv = 0

differentiate with respect to time

v(Δp/t) + p(Δv/t) = 0

(1000cm³)(40kPa/min) + 80kPa(Δv/t) = 0

40000 + 80kPa(Δv/t) = 0

Δv/t = -40000/80

= -500cm³/min

the volume decreases at the rate of 500cm³ in 1 min
