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.

What unita are used to measure electrical current​
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

It's called an ampere!

Explanation:

The SI unit of electric current is the ampere, which is the flow of electric charge across a surface at the rate of one coulomb per second. The ampere (symbol: A) is an SI base unit Electric current is measured using a device called an ammeter.

Hope this helps :)

A large fraction of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the sun is absorbed by the atmosphere. The main UV absorber in ou
elena55 [62]

Answer:

3.2\times 10^{-7}\ m or 0.32 μm.

Explanation:

Given:

The radiations are UV radiation.

The frequency of the radiations absorbed (f) = 9.38\times 10^{14}\ Hz

The wavelength of the radiations absorbed (λ) = ?

We know that, the speed of ultraviolet radiations is same as speed of light.

So, speed of UV radiation (v) = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Now, we also know that, the speed of the electromagnetic radiation is related to its frequency and wavelength and is given as:

v=f\lambda

Now, expressing the above equation in terms of wavelength 'λ', we have:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'λ'. This gives,

\lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{9.38\times 10^{14}\ Hz}\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-7}\ m\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-7}\times 10^{6}\ \mu m\ [1\ m=10^6\ \mu m]\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-1}=0.32\ \mu m

Therefore, the wavelength of the radiations absorbed by the ozone is nearly 3.2\times 10^{-7}\ m or 0.32 μm.

Which has the lowest heat capacity? (values of heat capacities and calculations are unnecessary).
Brrunno [24]

The correct answer is Metals.

Generally, the specific heat of metals is low. Very high specific heat exists in water.A physical feature of matter known as heat capacity or thermal capacity is the quantity of heat that must be applied to an object in order to cause a unit change in temperature. Heat capacity is measured in joules per kelvin (J/K), the SI unit. A broad property is heat capacity. Use the following equation to determine heat capacity: heat capacity = E / T, where E is the quantity of delivered heat energy and T is the change in temperature. The formula would be as follows, for instance, if it takes 2,000 Joules of energy to raise a block's temperature by 5 degrees Celsius: 2,000 Joules per °C is the heat capacity.

what is the approximate weight of a 20-kg cannonball on the moon if the acceleration due to gravity is 1.6m/s^2
monitta
On Earth, a cannonball with a mass of 20 kg would weigh 196 Newtons.
With the formula F=mg, where F is the weight in Newtons, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth which is 9.8m/s^2.
F=20kg x 9.8m/s^2= 196 Newtons

BUT on the moon, acceleration due to gravity is 1.6 m/s^2,
so F=mg=20kgx1.6m/s^2= 32 N
