aving established that a sound wave corresponds to pressure fluctuations in the medium, what can you conclude about the directio

n in which such pressure fluctuations travel? Having established that a sound wave corresponds to pressure fluctuations in the medium, what can you conclude about the direction in which such pressure fluctuations travel? The direction of motion of pressure fluctuations is independent of the direction of motion of the sound wave. Pressure fluctuations travel perpendicularly to the direction of propagation of the sound wave. Pressure fluctuations travel along the direction of propagation of the sound wave.

Answer: Pressure fluctuations travel along the direction of propagation of the sound wave.

Explanation:

Sound wave is a type of longitudinal wave. It is defined as a wave which consist of vibrations of particles traveling through a medium( such as air, or water).

Sound wave is propagated by the alternating adiabatic compression and expansion of the medium. The COMPRESSIONS are regions of high air pressure while the RAREFACTIONS are regions of low air pressure. Therefore, Since a sound wave consists of a repeating pattern of high-pressure and low-pressure regions moving through a medium, it is sometimes referred to as a PRESSURE WAVE.

The direction of the vibrating particles is parallel to the direction of propagation and that's why it's a type of LONGITUDINAL WAVE. Therefore, the correct option that

concludes about the direction in which such pressure fluctuations travel is

(Pressure fluctuations travel along the direction of propagation of the sound wave.)

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

There are people out there who understand the value of insurance and want adequate coverage at a cheap rates. In my opinion, these are the best clients. You don't need to sell the person on the value of insurance; they all are ready  to understand it. In my opinion, it may be difficult to work with people who do not fully understand the value of insurance. These are the people who usually want necessary minimum coverage at the absolute inexpensive cost. However, when they need to make a claim  that they  are usually shocked to find out, feeling how they don't any coverage.

An average person can reach a maximum height of about 60 cm when jumping straight up from a crouched position. During the jump i
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Height attained by body = 50 cm

= .5 m

Initial velocity = u

v² = u² - 2gh

0 = u² - 2gh

u² = 2 x 9.8 x .5

u = 3.13 m /s

During the initial period , the muscle stretches by around 10 cm during which force by ground reacts on the body and gives acceleration to achieve velocity of 3.13 m/s from zero .

v² = u² + 2as

3.13² = 0 + 2 a x .10

a = 49  m/s²

reaction by ground R

Net force

R-mg = ma

R= m ( g +a )

= mg + ma

=W + (W/g) x a

W ( 1 + a / g )

= W ( 1 + 49 / 9.8 )

= 6W

A driver in a 2144 kg car traveling at 15 m/s hits the brakes, coming to a stop in 67 meters. How far would it take the car to s
Komok [63]
1) First, let's calculate the value of deceleration a that the car can achieve, using the following relationship:
2aS = v_f^2-v_i^2 = -v_i^2
where S=67 m is the distance covered, vf=0 is the final velocity of the car, and vi=15 m/s is the initial velocity. From this we can find a:
a= \frac{-v_i^2}{2S}= \frac{-(15m/s)^2}{2\cdot 67 m}=-1.68 m/s^2

2) Then, we can assume this is the value of acceleration that the car is able to reach. In fact, the force the brakes are able to apply is
F=ma
This force will be constant, and since m is always the same, then a is the same even in the second situation.

3) Therefore, in the second situation we have a=-1.68 m/s^2. However, the initial velocity is different: vi=45 m/s. Using the same formula of point 1), we can calculate the distance covered by the car before stopping:
2aS=-v_i^2
S= \frac{-v_i^2}{2a} = \frac{-(45 m/s)^2}{2\cdot (-1.68 m/s^2)}=603 m

According to Newton's second law, how are acceleration and mass related? Directly or indirectly when force is constant?
Aliun [14]
Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
