It is a longitudinal wave. In a longitudinal wave the particles of the medium vibrate in a direction parallel to the direction of energy transport. Sound waves are mechanical waves as well as longitudinal waves that require a medium. They do not travel through a vacuum.

Longitudinal, because the sound can only travel at one direction

Answer:

Option B

$a=19 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Given information

Radius of container, r=12cm=12/100=0.12m

Angular velocity= 2 rev/s, converted to rad/s we multiply by 2π

Angular velocity, $\omega=2*2\pi =12.56637061$

We know that speed, $v=r\omega$

Centripetal acceleration, $a=\frac {v^{2}}{r}$ and substituting $v=r\omega$ we obtain that

$a=r\omega^{2}$

Substituting \omega for 12.56637061 and r for 0.12

$a=0.12*(12.56637061)^{2}=18.94964045 m/s^{2}$

Rounded off, $a=19 m/s^{2}$

George is applying a downward force of 50N to and object that has a mass of 50kg. What is the normal force (FN) of the object wh

attashe74 [19]

The normal force acting on the object is 500 N in the upward direction

<u>Explanation:</u>

As George is applying a downward force, the normal force will be in the upward direction. The normal force will be exerted due to the acceleration due to gravity exerted on the object.

So, as per Newton's second law, the normal force acting on the object can be measured by the product of mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity acting on the object.

But as the acceleration due to gravity is a downward acting acceleration and the normal force is a upward acting force, so the acceleration will be having a negative sign in the formula.

$Normal\ force = Mass \times Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity$

Here, acceleration due to gravity g = -10 m/s² and mass is given as 50 kg, then

Normal force = 50 × (-10) = -500 N

So, the normal force acting on the object is 500 N in the upward direction.

In an inelastic collision a 2.5 kg ball moving at 7.5 m/s is caught by a 70kg man while the man is standing on ice. What is the

MrRa [10]

The velocity of the ball and the man is 0.259 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, in an isolated system, the total momentum before and after the collision must be conserved. Therefore, for the ball-man system, we can write:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v$
