When a wave is acted upon by an external damping force what happens to the energy of the wave

Physics
1 answer:
Nimfa-mama [501]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A-the energy of the wave decreases gradually

Explanation:

when a wave is acted upon by an external damping force the energy of the wave decreases gradually.

The energy degrades into the form of heat which is considered to be of less value and use. The reason is because it disperses and spreads more widely.

So therefore it end up as heat with a little sound but that is close to none because that too disperses into heat i.e. decreased form of energy.

The density of sodium is 968 g/cm3. Suppose you need 250 gm of sodium for an experiment. Which volume of sodium do you need?
Masja [62]
The formula for the density of a substance expressed in mass and volume is rho = mass/volume or p = m/v. Rearranging the formula to isolate volume gives the formula v = m/p. To solve for the problem given, this formula must be used. This gives a solution of:

v = m/p = 250 g/ 968 g/cm^3 = 0.258 cm^3 of sodium

If he were able to maintain this constant rate of acceleration, what would have been his speed as he finished the race?
Law Incorporation [45]

a) 4.8 m/s² his average acceleration during the first 2.5 s

b) 15 m distance he cover during the first 2.5 seconds.

c) 31 m/s his speed as he finished the race.

<h3>(a) How to calculate the Average Acceleration ?</h3>

Average acceleration is calculated by using Newtons first law of motion

v = u + at

where

u is initial velocity

v is final velocity

a is constant acceleration

t is time

Given u = 0m/s , v = 12 m/s and t = 2.5 sec

Therefore average acceleration is given by

a=\frac{v}{t}

a=\frac{12}{2.5}

a = 4.8 m/sec²

b) Here we will use newtons second law of motion

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

On substituting value we get

s = 15m

c) Here we will use newtons third law of motion

v² = u² + 2as

Here u = 0 , a = 4.8 m/s² and s = 100 m

Therefore

v² = 960

v = 31 m/s

Question: Usain Bolt's 100m sprint Runner set the world record for the100 meter sprint during the 2009World Championships in Berlin with a time of 9.58 s, reaching a top speed of 12 m/s in about 2.5 s.

a. What was his average acceleration during the first 2.5 s?

b. What distance did he cover during the first 2.5 seconds, assuming his acceleration was constant?

c. If he were able to maintain this constant rate of acceleration, what would have been his speed as he finished the race?

Why is the use of carbon-14 limited
Luden [163]

Carbon-14 is naturally created with the interaction of high-energy cosmic rays with atmospheric nitrogen. As part of the atmosphere, living organisms take in the carbon and incorporate this into living tissues. As long as the organism is alive and breathing, it keeps adding new carbon-14. When the organism dies, it stops gaining carbon-14 - or anything else, of course.


Carbon-14 is slightly radioactive, with a half-life of about 5700 years. If we assume that the atmospheric production of carbon-14 has been steady for the last 100,000 years, we can calculate the approximate age of when the organism died by determining what percentage of carbon-14 still exists in the dead material.


Paleo-archaeologists and anthropologists use this information when studying old cultures and civilizations.
