Answer:

Absorption

Explanation:

Absorption, in wave motion, the transfer of the energy of a wave to matter as the wave passes through it. ... Substances are selectively absorbing—that is, they absorb radiation of specific wavelengths.

The circumference of an orbit for a toy on a string is 18 m and the centripetal force is 12 N. Does the centripetal force do any
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Work done is 0.

Explanation:

Given that,

The circumference of an orbit for a toy on a string is 18 m, r = 18 m

Centripetal force, F = 12 N

In the circular path, the centripetal force is always perpendicular to the motion of the object. Thus it makes an angle of 90 degrees with the force and displacement. Hence, we can say that the centripetal force does not do any work on the toy when it follows its orbit for one cycle.

An example of a household appliance with a low and high power rating​
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are countless household appliances in every single house. One appliance with a low power rating would be a ceiling fan. On average ceiling fans consume roughly 60w and are found in the majority of houses. On the other side of the spectrum, we have a high power-rating appliance such as a microwave. Microwaves use anywhere between 1000w to 1800w of power in order to function correctly. This is very large power consumption and one of the highest power ratings found for appliances in a household.

True or false? All waves need a medium in order to travel
Art [367]
That's false.  Mechanical waves (like sound and ocean waves) do
need a medium to travel in, but electromagnetic waves (like radio
and light) don't.

Bryce, a mouse lover, keeps his four pet mice in a roomy cage, where they spend much of their spare time–when they\'re not sleep
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

mice total momentum (-0.000250, 0.00639) Kg m

Explanation:

To calculate the moment of the mice we must multiply their mass by their velocities, remember that the moment is a vector quantity, so we use the components of velocity

mouse 1

  m1 = 0.0225 Kg

  V1 = (0.869, -0.283) m / s

 

  Px = m Vx

  Px1 = 0.0225 0.869

  Px1 = 0.01955 Kg m

  Py = m Vy

  Py1 = 0.0225 (-0.283)

  Py1 = -0.006368 Kg m

  P1 = (0.0196, -0.00637) Kg m

Mouse 2

 m2 = 0.0223 Kg

 Px2 = 0.0223 (-0.883) = -0.0196 Kg m

 Py2 = 0.0223 (-0.253) = -0.00564 Kg m

 P2 = (-0.0196, -0.00564) Kg m

Mouse 3

 m3 = 0.0197

 Px3 = 0.0197 0.345 = 0.00680 Kg m

 Py3 = 0.0197 0.803 = 0.0158 Kg m

 P3 = (0.00680, 0.0158) Kg m

Mouse4

  m4 = 0.0127 Kg

  Px4 = 0.0127 (-0.555) = -0.00705 Kg m

  Py4 = 0.0127 0.205 = 0.00260 Kg m

  P4 = (-0.00705, 0.00260) Kg m

To find the total momentum we must add each component of the individual moments

   Px = Px1 + Px2 + Px3 + Px4  

   Py = py1 + Py2 + Py3 + Py4

   Px = 0.0196 -0.0196 +0.00680 -0.00705

   Px = -0,000250 Kg m

   Py = -0.00637 -0.00564 +0.0158 +0.00260

   Py = 0.00639 Kg m

   P = (-0.000250, 0.00639) Kg m
