Longitudinal sound waves cannot propagate through

Physics
1 answer:
strojnjashka [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A vacuum

Explanation:

Sound waves are examples of mechanical waves. Mechanical waves are waves which are transmitted through the vibrations of the particles in a medium.

For example, sound waves in air consist of oscillations of the air particles, which vibrate back and forth (longitudinal wave) along the direction of propagation of the wave itself.

Given this definition of mechanical wave, we see that such a wave cannot propagate if there is no medium, because there are no particles that would oscillate. Therefore, among the choices given, the following one:

a vacuum

represent the only situation in which a sound wave cannot propagate through: in fact, there are no particles in a vacuum, so the oscillations cannot occur. In all other cases, instead, sound waves can propagate.

A 6.8 kg bowling ball and 7.4 kg bowling ball rest on a rack 0.74 m apart. What is the force of gravity pulling each ball toward
zimovet [89]

The gravitational force between the two balls is 6.13\cdot 10^{-9} N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where :

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

For the balls in this problem,  we have

m_1 = 6.8 kg

m_2 = 7.4 kg

r = 0.74 m

Substituting into the equation, we find the gravitational force between the two balls:

F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(6.8)(7.4)}{(0.74)^2}=6.13\cdot 10^{-9}N

A light ray hits a plane surface at 20 degrees. What is the angle between the incident and reflected rays.
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

140°

Explanation:

The law of reflection states that the angle of redlection equals to the angle of incidence.

When light rays hit surface at 20°, they also leave the surface at the same angle

Since the whole surface has 180° then subtracting these two angles from total angle gives the the angle between the incident and reflected rays.

180°-20°-20°=140°

The angle of incidence and reflection are equal hence 140/2=70°

The question needed the angle between the incident and reflected rays which is already calculated as 140°

A force of 3,200 kg x m/s^2 (Newton’s) acts on a truck giving it an acceleration of 2 m/s^2. What is the mass of the truck ?
Ivan

Answer:

According to newton's second law of motionF=ma Data:-F=3200kgm/sec² or N ,a=2m/sec² ,m=? solution :-F=ma here we have to find m so m=F/a ,m=3200/2=1600kg
