What measures the amount of displacement in a transverse wave

Physics
1 answer:
MAVERICK [17]3 years ago
4 0
Unlike a longitudinal wave, a transverse wave moves about, perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The particles in a transverse wave do not travel along the direction of propagation, but only oscillate up and down on its equilibrium position. With this, the displacement can be determined by measuring (in the case of electronic waves, using an oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer) and setting the desired units to measure the wave in.

No, he did not perform any work. Work is when you’re using energy which results in a force. Even though he was tired and sweaty, he did not move the boulder. So therefore he did not perform any work.

A. What is the RMS speed of Helium atoms when the temperature of the Helium gas is 343.0 K? (Possibly useful constants: the atom
kkurt [141]

Answer:

(a) 1462.38 m/s

(b) 2068.13 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

The Kinetic energy of the atom can be given as:

K.E = (3/2)KT

where,

K = Boltzman's Constant = 1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/k

K.E = Kinetic Energy of atoms = 343 K

T = absolute temperature of atoms

The K.E is also given as:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

Comparing both equations:

(1/2)mv² = (3/2)KT

v² = 3KT/m

v = √[3KT/m]

where,

m = mass of Helium = (4 A.M.U)(1.66 X 10⁻²⁷ kg/ A.M.U) = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

v = RMS Speed of Helium Atoms = ?

Therefore,

v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K)(343 K)/(6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]

<u>v = 1462.38 m/s</u>

(b)

For double temperature:

T = 2 x 343 K = 686 K

all other data remains same:

v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K)(686 K)/(6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]

<u>v = 2068.13 m/s</u>

brilliants [131]

Answer:

60 kg

Explanation:

The man's weight is equal to the weight of the water he displaces.

mg = ρVg

m = ρV

m = (1000 kg/m³) (3 m × 2 m × 0.01 m)

m = 60 kg

The man's mass is 60 kg.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

SO ANSWER AGRE AS FOLLOWS:

Explanation:

A. Wind is the movement of air, caused by the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun and the Earth's own rotation. Winds range from light breezes to natural hazards such as hurricanes and tornadoes.

B.At night, the roles reverse. The air over the ocean is now warmer than the air over the land. The land loses heat quickly after the sun goes down and the air above it cools too. ... This causes the low surface pressure to shift to over the ocean during the night and the high surface pressure to move over the land.
