Mechanical (sound) waves are unable to travel through a vacuum, such as through space, but radio waves are transmitted to Earth

from satellites. How is this possible?

Explanation:

Electromagnetic wave is the wave in which both magnetic field and the electric field are mutually perpendicular to the direction of the propagation of the wave. It travels with the speed of the light.

It is transverse in nature. It does not need any medium to travel. For example, radio wave. It transmitted to earth from the satellites.

Mechanical wave needs medium to travel. For example, sound wave can travel in solid, liquid and the gas. It travels faster in solid in comparison to liquid.

Sound wave consists of rarefaction and compression. This is longitudinal wave.

A gas undergoes two processes. In the first, the volume remains constant at 0.200 m3 and the pressure increases from 1.00×105 Pa
Alborosie
<h2>The work done = - 2 x 10⁴ J</h2>

Explanation:

In the first case , the volume is kept constant and pressure varies .

In isothermal process  , the work done

W₁ = V x ΔP

here V is the volume of gas and ΔP is the change in pressure

Thus W₁ = 0

Because there is no change in volume , therefore displacement is zero .

In second case pressure is constant , but volume changes

Thus W₂ = P x ΔV

here P is the pressure  and ΔV is the change in volume

Therefore W₂ = 4 x 10⁵ x 5 x 10⁻² = 2 x 10⁴ J

The total work done W = - 2 x 10⁴ J

Because the work done in compression is negative .

The triceps muscle in the back of the upper arm is primarily used to extend the forearm. Suppose this muscle in a professional b
bagirrra123 [75]

To solve this problem it is necessary to address the concepts related to Torque as a function of the force and distance where it is applied and the moment of inertia from which the torque, moment of inertia and angular acceleration are related.

By definition the torque is defined as

\tau = F*r

Where,

\tau = Torque

F = Force

r = Radius

For our values we have:

\tau = F*r

\tau = (1.75*10^3)(2.8*10^{-2})

\tau = 49Nm

Consequently the calculation of the moment of inertia would then be given by the relationship

\tau = I\alpha

I=\frac{\tau}{\alpha}

Replacing with our values

I = \frac{49}{150}

I = 0.322Kg.m^2

The moment of inertia of the boxer's forearm 0.322Kg.m^2

A tsunami, an ocean wave generated by an earthquake, propagates along the open ocean at 700 km/hr and has a wavelength of 750 km
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

C) 0.00026 Hz

Explanation:

  • In any wave, there exists a fixed relationship between the speed v, the frequency f and the wavelength λ, as follows:

       v = \lambda * f (1)

  • Replacing by the givens in (1), and solving for f, we get:

       f = \frac{v}{\lambda} = \frac{700km/hr}{750 km} = 0.93 1/hr (2)

  • Converting the units to Hz (1/sec), we get:

       f = 0.93 \frac{1}{hr} *\frac{1 hr}{3600sec} = 2.6e-4 = 0.00026 Hz (2)

  • The answer C. is the right one.

Which isotopes of which elements contributed mainly to contamination in the Chernobyl accident? 3 sentences long.
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Iodine , caesium , strontium ,Plutonium

Explanation:

The isotopes of four main elements which include Iodine , caesium , strontium ,Plutonium contributed mainly to contamination in the Chernobyl accident which involved the release of harmful radioactive radiation into the environment.

The accident occurred in 1986 at Chernobyl , Ukraine as a result of errors made in the design of the reactor and inexperienced hands handling it.

This led to hundreds of death and negative effects on living and the environment around the area.
