What is the difference between three types of mechanical waves?

Physics
2 answers:
Amanda [17]3 years ago
8 0

<u>Answer:</u>

There are three kinds of mechanical waves depending upon the direction in which they travel or propagate through the medium.

(i) Longitudinal waves

(ii) Transverse waves

(iii) Surface waves

In transverse waves, the particles tend to move in a direction at right angles to the waves whereas in longitudinal waves, they move in parallel direction to each other. When it comes to surface waves they lie in circular motion.

Answer:

In longitudinal waves, particles travel in the direction parallel to that of the wave motion where as in transverse waves, particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion and in surface waves, particles in the medium move in a circular motion.A good example of longitudinal waves is sound waves. Vibrating a string on the ground can serve as an example of transverse wave.For surface waves, the ocean waves travelling on the surface can illustrate the cicular movement of particles in the water.

The X-ray source Cygnus X-1 has a mass of at least 11 solar masses and a diameter of only about one-quarter the diameter of the
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Answer is It was deduced from the rate at which it glimmers.

Refer below.

Explanation:

The X-ray source Cygnus X-1 has a mass of at least 11 solar masses and a diameter of only about one-quarter the diameter of the Earth. With such a small diameter it must be a compact object, and with such a large mass it can't be a white dwarf or a neutron star, so a black hole is the only possibility remaining. The diameter of Cygnus X-1 found:

It was deduced from the rate at which it glimmers.

a 4kg metal block absorbs 5000j of energy and increases to a temperature of 22°c. the metal has a specific heat capacity of 250j
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

17 °C

Explanation:

From specific Heat capacity.

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)................. Equation 1

Where Q = Heat absorb by the metal block, c = specific heat capacity of the metal block, m = mass of the metal block, t₂ = final temperature, t₁ = Initial temperature.

make t₁ the subject of the equation

t₁ = t₂-(Q/cm)............... Equation 2

Given: t₂ = 22 °C, Q = 5000 J, m = 4 kg, c = 250 J/kg.°c

Substitute into equation 2

t₁ = 22-[5000/(4×250)

t₁ = 22-(5000/1000)

t₁ = 22-5

t₁ = 17 °C

How much work done when .0080 C is moved through a potential difference of 1.5 V? Use W = qV. A.
grin007 [14]

Answer:

0.012 J

Explanation:

We are given:

q = 0.0080C

Potential difference =  1.5V

W=qV

Substituting the values into the equation:

W=0.0080*1.5= 0.012J
