Compare and contrast the two different types of mechanical waves?

1 answer:

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.

The relationship between energy (E), power (P), and time (t) is

NemiM [27]

Answer:

The avarage power of the body is 96.898 watts.

Explanation:

We must notice that given definition of power implies a constant consumption of energy, so that we should assume that energy consumption is constant. A Calorie is equal to 4186 joules. If we know that $E = 2000\,Cal$ and $t = 1\,day$ , the power of body, measured in watts, is:

$P = \frac{(2000\,Cal)\cdot \left(4186\,\frac{J}{Cal} \right)}{(1\,day)\cdot \left(24\,\frac{h}{day} \right)\cdot \left(3600\,\frac{s}{h} \right)}$

$P = 96.898\,W$

The avarage power of the body is 96.898 watts.
