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.

2. A truck speeds up from a velocity of 6 m/s to 14 m/s in 4 seconds. What is the trucks acceleration? SHOW YOUR WORK
zavuch27 [327]

#2

As it is given here

initial speed is

v_i = 6 m/s

After 4 seconds the final speed is

v_f = 14 m/s

so here we can use the formula of acceleration using kinematics

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

a = \frac{14 - 6}{4}

a = 2 m/s^2

so here it will accelerate at 2 m/s^2 rate.

#3

As it is given here

initial it starts from rest

v_i = 0 m/s

After 2.5 seconds the final speed is

v_f = 15 m/s

so here we can use the formula of acceleration using kinematics

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

a = \frac{15 - 0}{2.5}

a = 6 m/s^2

so here it will accelerate at 6 m/s^2 rate.


#4

i think question is not correct as in first line it is saying about a bag of trash and then in next line it is asking for the position of Jumper and bridge.

Why does the gravitational field strength increase with latitude
otez555 [7]
The second major reason for the difference in gravity at differentlatitudes is that the Earth's equatorial bulge (itself also caused by centrifugalforce from rotation) causes objects at the Equator to be farther from the planet's centre than objects at the poles.

Zad. 2 W marszobiegu chłopiec przebiegł 900 m w ciągu 205 min, a następnie przeszedł 300m w tym danym czasie. Jaka była średnia
USPshnik [31]

Odpowiedź:

0,049 m / s

Wyjaśnienie:

Biorąc pod uwagę, że:

Dystans biegu = 900m

Czas trwania = 205 minut

Długość przejścia = 300 m

Zajęty czas = 205 minut

Średnia prędkość :

(Przebieg + pokonany dystans) / całkowity czas

Średnia prędkość :

(900 m +. 300 m) / 205 + 205

1200 m / 410 minut

Minuty do sekund

1200 / (410 * 60)

1200/24600

= 0,0487804

= 0,049 m / s
