Any 'mechanical' wave needs a medium in order to travel from one place to another.

Examples of mechanical waves include . . .

-- ocean waves

-- sound waves

-- Slinky waves

-- guitar-string waves

-- hand waves

-- curtain waves

-- ripples on a pond

-- seismic waves (earthquakes)

when a metal ball is heated through 30°c,it volume becomes 1.0018cm^3 if the linear expansivity of the material of the ball is 2

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The original volume of the metal sphere is approximately 1 cm³

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The temperature change of the metal ball, ΔT = 30°C = 30 K

The new volume of the metal ball, V₂ = 1.0018 cm³

The linear expansivity of the material ball, α = 2.0 × 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹

We have;

d₂ = d₁·(1 + α·ΔT)

Where;

d₁ = The original diameter of the metal ball

d₂ = The new diameter of the ball

From the volume of the ball, V₂, we have;

V₂ = 1.0018 cm³ = (4/3)×π×r₂³

Where;

r₂ = The new radius = d₂/2

∴ V₂ = 1.0018 cm³ = (4/3)×π×(d₂/2)³

∴ d₂ = ∛(2³ × 1.0018 cm³/((4/3) × π)) ≈ 1.241445 cm

d₁ = d₂/(1 + α·ΔT)

∴ d₁ ≈ 1.241445 cm/(1 + 2.0 × 10⁻⁵·K × 30 K) ≈ 1.24070058 cm

The original volume of the metal ball, V₁ = (4/3)×π×(d₁/2)³

∴ V₁ = (4/3)×π×(1.24070058/2)³ ≈ 0.99999902845 cm³ ≈ 1 cm³

The original volume of the metal sphere, V₁ ≈ 1 cm³.

Calculate the electric field associated to an electric dipole for two charges separated 10-8 m with a dipole moment of 10-33 C m

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

18 N/C

Explanation:

Given that:

Electric field constant, k = 9*10^9 N/c

Distance, r = 10^-8 m

Dipole moment, p = 10^-33

Using the relation for electric field due to dipole :

E = [2KP / r³]

E = (2 * (9*10^9) * 10^-33) ÷ (10^-8)^3

E = (18 * 10^9 * 10^-33) ÷ 10^-24

E = [18 * 10^(9-33)] ÷ 10^-24

E = (18 * 10^-24) / 10^-24

E = 18 * 10^-24+24

E = 18 * 10^0

E = 18 N/C

If the airman had a mass of 80 kg, find the magnitude of the air drag acting on him when he reached terminal velocity of 54 m/s

Vlad1618 [11]

The magnitude of the air drag is 784 N

Explanation:

An object falling down reaches the terminal velocity when the magnitude of the air drag acting on it becomes equal to the weight of the object. Mathematically, this condition can be written as:

$F_D = mg$

where

$F_D$ is the magnitude of the air drag

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

In this problem, we have

m = 80 kg is the mass of the airman

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Substituting into the formula, we find:

$F_D = (80)(9.8)=784 N$
