Name 2 kinds of longitudinal waves and explain how you know they are longitudinal

1 answer:

4 0

In a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. The animation at right shows a one-dimensional longitudinal plane wave propagating down a tube. The particles do not move down the tube with the wave; they simply oscillate back and forth about their individual equilibrium positions. Pick a single particle and watch its motion. The wave is seen as the motion of the compressed region (ie, it is a pressure wave), which moves from left to right.The second animation at right shows the difference between the oscillatory motion of individual particles and the propagation of the wave through the medium. The animation also identifies the regions of compression and rarefaction.The P Waves(primary waves) in an earthquake are examples of Longitudinal waves. The P waves travel with the fastest velocity and are the first to arrive.

Answer:

a)-2m/s^2

b)27.2m/s

Explanation:

Hello! The first step to solve this problem is to find the mass of the block remembering that the definition of weight force is mass by gravity (g=9.8m / s ^ 2)

W=455N=weight

W=mg

W=455N=weight

$m=\frac{W}{g} =\frac{455}{9.81}=46.38kg$

The second step is to draw the free body diagram of the body (see attached image) and use Newton's second law that states that the sum of the forces is equal to mass by acceleration

$a=\frac{T-W}{m} =\frac{361-455}{46.38kg} =-2m/s^2$

for point b we use the equations of motion with constant acceleration to find the velocity

$Vf=\sqrt{X(2)(a)+Vo^2}$

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed =0

A = acceleration =2m/s

X = displacement =6.8m

Solving

$Vf=\sqrt{(6.8)(2)(2)+0^2}=27.2m/s$

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! You draw an arrow from left to right on a piece of paper and place the paper well behind a glass of water. Y

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

I think it is the first one: The arrow appears reversed because light is bent as it enters the water, and again as it exits. The two light paths cross, making the direction of the arrow appear crossed.

A spaceship is headed toward Alpha Centauri at 0.999c. According to us, the distance to Alpha Centauri is about 4 light-years. H

aniked [119]

Answer:

According to the travellers, Alpha Centauri is c) very slightly less than 4 light-years

Explanation:

For a stationary observer, Alpha Centauri is 4 light-years away but for an observer who is travelling close to the speed of light, Alpha Centauri is very slightly less than 4 light-years. The following expression explains why:

v = d / t

where

v is the speed of the spaceship
d is the distance
t is the time

Therefore,

d = v × t

d = (0.999 c)(4 light-years)

d = 3.996 light-years

This distance is very slightly less than 4 light-years.
