What is a travelling wave and a standing wave? What are the differences between both of them?

Answer: First of all we have to understand that a traveling wave is an organized disturbance traveling with a well defined wave speed. On the other hand standing waves are the combination of period waves with their reflected waves creating double sided waves. The differences between them is that standing waves have nodes and antinodes while a traveling wave does not.

I hope it helps, Regards.

I always hear a difference between transverse and longitudinal waves, and, standing and traveling waves, but for me, transverse and standing waves looks very similar; and i can't seem to find out what is the difference.

both has nodes and antinodes, thus the change in amplitude as you go about the wave, and all the points between 2 nodes are in phase.

Suppose the block is released from rest with the spring compressed 5.00 cm. The mass of the block is 1.70 kg and the force const
IRISSAK [1]

First, let's calculate the total mechanical energy when the block is at rest and the spring is compressed 5 cm:

\begin{gathered} ME=PE+KE\\ \\ ME=\frac{kx^2}{2}+\frac{mv^2}{2}\\ \\ ME=\frac{955\cdot0.05^2}{2}+0\\ \\ ME=1.194\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Now, let's use this total energy to calculate the velocity when the spring is compressed by 2.5 cm:

\begin{gathered} ME=PE+KE\\ \\ 1.194=\frac{kx^2}{2}+\frac{mv^2}{2}\\ \\ 2.388=955\cdot0.025^2+1.7v^2\\ \\ 1.7v^2=2.388-0.597\\ \\ 1.7v^2=1.791\\ \\ v^2=\frac{1.791}{1.7}\\ \\ v^2=1.0535\\ \\ v=1.026\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

Therefore the speed is 1.026 m/s.

From the concepts you have learned in this module, how are you going to assess
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

Earth is properly designed to support life. This is seen in the favorable temperature that supports life, the water cycle that recycles water for plant and animal life, the atmosphere, energy, and nutrients.

1. Temperature: The temperature which is regulated by the different weather conditions such as the rains, snows, dry seasons all help to maintain a stable condition for life.

2. Water: The water cycle through processes like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, helps to ensure that there is never a lack of water in the earth. The numerous water bodies like the seas, oceans, rivers, lakes, also provide a habitat for some living things. Water makes up 70% of the earth.

3. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is a mixture of gases in the right proportions that are necessary for life. Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon, etc are released and inhaled by man and other living things. They are also involved in so many biochemical reactions that help in metabolism and catabolism.

4. Energy: Energy generated from the sun and within the earth is stored in various forms and is always conserved. This energy is converted to different states such as the potential, chemical, kinetic, mechanical forms to get work done and to release heat.

5. Nutrients​: Though cycles such as the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorous cycles, the earth maintains its stock of essential nutrients that help to sustain life.

What is the force of gravity for a 12 kg turkey?<br><br> Please help asap
pogonyaev

Answer: 117.6N

Explanation:

By the second Newton's law, we know that:

F = m*a

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

We know that in the surface of the Earth, the gravitational acceleration is g = 9.8m/s^2.

Then we just can input that acceleration in the above equation, and also replace m by 12kg, and find that the force due the gravity is:

F = 12kg*9.8m/s^2 = 117.6N
