Answer:

Longitudinal Mechanical Wave

Explanation:

Mechanical waves are the waves that require medium to propagate. And a longitudinal wave is a wave in which the vibration of the energy(here: mass specifically) is in the direction of propagation of wave.

Shock wave, strong pressure wave in any elastic medium such as air, water, or a solid substance, produced by supersonic aircraft, explosions, lightning, or other phenomena that create violent changes in pressure.

Shock waves travel faster than sound and their speed increases as the amplitude of the wave is increased but their intensity fades faster due to the fact that some of its energy gets expended in the form of heat due to the resistance of the medium.

What makes a clinical thermometer suitable for measuring small changes in body temperature? *
Nana76 [90]

Answer: Because of the fine bore of the tube.

Explanation:

Temperature is the degree of hotness and coldness. And thermometer is the instrument use to measure temperature.

The two most common types of themometric fluids for thermometer are alcohol and mercury.

What makes a clinical thermometer suitable for measuring small changes in body temperature is because of the fine bore of the tube which makes it possible for small temperature changes to cause large changes in the length of mercury columns, making the thermometer very sensitive to temperature changes.

The most prominent feature of the thermometer is the kink or constriction of bore near the bulb.

Ask Your Teacher Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers throws a perfect football spiral at 6.9 rev/s. The radius of a pro football
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

a=159.32\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Angular speed of the football spiral, \omega=6.9\ rev/s=43.35\ rad/s

Radius of a pro football, r = 8.5 cm = 0.085 m

The velocity is given by :

v=r\omega

v=0.085\times 43.35

v = 3.68 m/s

The centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

a=\dfrac{(3.68)^2}{0.085}

a=159.32\ m/s^2

So, the centripetal acceleration of the laces on the football is 159.32\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.
