What type of wave is sound

Physics
1 answer:
Afina-wow [57]3 years ago
6 0
Sound is a longitudinal wave, because the vibration of the molelecules occurs in the same direction of propagation of the wave.

In fact, a sound wave consists of alternating regions of air compression and rarefaction, and these regions "oscillate" in the same direction of propagation of the wave, so this is a longitudinal wave.

Two identical vertical springs S1 and S2 have masses m1 = 400 g and m2 = 800 g attached to them. If m1 causes spring S1 to stret
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

potential energy = mgh

= 400÷1000 × 10× 4÷100

= 0.4 × 10 × 0.04

=4/10 ×10×4/100

= 4/10 × 4/10

=16/100

= 0.16 joules

m1 (400) stretches 4cm

m1 (100g) stretches 1cm

so, m2(800g) stretches 8 cm

potential energy of m2 = mgh

= 800/1000 ×10×8/100

= 0.8 × 0.8

=8/10 ×8/10

= 64/100

=0.64 joules

Ratio of s1 to s2

16/100 ÷ 64/100

= 1:4 ( answer)

If a person uses about 4 calories to fuel a minute of walking, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk a mile, approximately how m
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

43.75 miles must a person walk to utilize the energy in (“burn”) a pound of fat.

Explanation:

3,500 calories are present in 1 pound of the fat.

Thus, given that:

<u>4 calories are burnt in 1 minute of walking.</u>

So,

1 calories are burnt in 1/4 minute of walking.

Or,

<u>1 calories are burnt in 0.25 minute of walking.</u>

Thus,

<u>3500 calories are burnt in 0.25*3500 minutes of walking</u>

Minutes of walking needed to burn 3500 calories = 875 minutes.

Also, given that:

<u>20 minutes of walking covers 1 mile.</u>

<u>1 minute of walking covers 1/20 mile.</u>

So,

<u>875 minutes of walking covers (1/20)*875 mile.</u>

<u>43.75 miles must a person walk to utilize the energy in (“burn”) a pound of fat.</u>

a brick is suspended above the ground at a height of 6.6 meters. it has a mass of 5.3 kg. what is the potential energy of the br
Maslowich
The formula for potential energy is mass x height x gravitational force. Your mass is 5.3 kg and your height is 6.6 meters. The gravitational force on earth is 9.8 m/s. That means your answer is 5.3 x 6.6 x 9.8 and that equals 342.804

Which best compares the gravitational force and the strong force ?
Elan Coil [88]
<span>The heavier the body is, the stronger its gravitational pull. Example, the Milky Way Galaxy has a gravitational pull because of the heavenly bodies such as stars and planets are surrounding it. A strong force is exerted if the mass of another body is bigger than the other body.</span>
