Answer: Mechanical waves carry energy through a medium; electromagnetic waves carry energy through media and space.
Explanation:
<u>The waves which require medium to travel are known as mechanical waves. </u>The waves carry energy forward by compression and rarefaction that is by changing density /pressure of medium particles.
<u>Electromagnetic waves can transfer energy through space as well as medium. </u>In an electromagnetic wave, electric field generates magnetic field and magnetic field generates electric field. Electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of motion.
Answer:
2m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Net force on the car = 2000N
Acceleration = 4m/s²
Unknown:
Acceleration of a car twice the mass = ?
Solution:
Let us first find the mass of the car;
Force = mass x acceleration
Mass = 
Mass = 
= 500kg
Now,
whose mass is twice that of the car
Mass of the new car = 2 x 500 = 1000kg
So;
Acceleration = 
Acceleration = 
= 2m/s²
Answer:
(1) A sound wave a mechanical wave because mechanical waves rely on particle interaction to transport their energy, they cannot travel through regions of space that are void of particles. Sound is a mechanical wave and cannot travel through a vacuum. These particle-to-particle, mechanical vibrations of sound conductance qualify sound waves as mechanical waves. Sound energy, or energy associated with the vibrations created by a vibrating source, requires a medium to travel, which makes sound energy a mechanical wave. The answer is(B) it travels in the medium.
(2) An ocean wave is an example of a mechanical transverse wave
The compression is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are crowded together. The rarefaction is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are spread apart. The answer is (C) Compression.
Answer:
The equation for the object's displacement is 
Explanation:
Given:
m = 16 lb
δ = 3 in
The stiffness is:
The angular speed is:
The damping force is:
Where
FD = 20 lb
u = 4 ft/s = 48 in/s
Replacing:
The critical damping is equal:
Like cc>c the system is undamped
The equilibrium expression is:
Answer:
a) 1.3 rad/s
b) 0.722 s
Explanation:
Given
Initial velocity, ω = 0 rad/s
Angular acceleration of the wheel, α = 1.8 rad/s²
using equations of angular motion, we have
θ2 - θ1 = ω(0)[t2 - t1] + 1/2α(t2 - t1)²
where
θ2 - θ1 = 53.2 rad
t2 - t1 = 7s
substituting these in the equation, we have
θ2 - θ1 = ω(0)[t2 - t1] + 1/2α(t2 - t1)²
53.2 =ω(0) * 7 + 1/2 * 1.8 * 7²
53.2 = 7.ω(0) + 1/2 * 1.8 * 49
53.2 = 7.ω(0) + 44.1
7.ω(0) = 53.2 - 44.1
ω(0) = 9.1 / 7
ω(0) = 1.3 rad/s
Using another of the equations of angular motion, we have
ω(0) = ω(i) + α*t1
1.3 = 0 + 1.8 * t1
1.3 = 1.8 * t1
t1 = 1.3/1.8
t1 = 0.722 s
