We use a spectrometer to help us determine what stars and planets are made of by passing a light through various chemical elements, different spectral patterns are created. By matching those patterns up to patterns generated in a laboratory environment we can tell what the composition of a distant star or planet is.

Mechanical waves are oscillation of matter, they are important because they all transfer energy from one place to another. There are 2 types of mechanical waves. A transverse wave where the particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of energy travel and a longitudinal wave where particle vibrations are parallel to the direction of the energy transfer.


I hope it helps, Regards.

A 117 kg horizontal platform is a uniform disk of radius 1.61 m and can rotate about the vertical axis through its center. A 62.
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

I_syst = 278.41477 kg.m²

Explanation:

Mass of platform; m1 = 117 kg

Radius; r = 1.61 m

Moment of inertia here is;

I1 = m1•r²/2

I1 = 117 × 1.61²/2

I1 = 151.63785 kg.m²

Mass of person; m2 = 62.5 kg

Distance of person from centre; r = 1.05 m

Moment of inertia here is;

I2 = m2•r²

I2 = 62.5 × 1.05²

I2 = 68.90625 kg.m²

Mass of dog; m3 = 28.3 kg

Distance of Dog from centre; r = 1.43 m

I3 = 28.3 × 1.43²

I3 = 57.87067 kg.m²

Thus,moment of inertia of the system;

I_syst = I1 + I2 + I3

I_syst = 151.63785 + 68.90625 + 57.87067

I_syst = 278.41477 kg.m²

The same wave travels for 2 seconds, what is its frequency?*
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

In waves distance is measured by wave length  and time is measured by frequency or period.

velocity ratio=wave length multiply by frequency.

HENCE, if the same wave travels for 2 econds its frequency will be 2Hz.
