A sound wave moving through the air causes particles in the air to move. If air particles are moving, why doesn’t this motion cr

Answer:

The motion of air particle caused by sound wave is vibrational and cannot create breeze because breeze involves translational motion (permanent displacement) of the air particles.

Explanation:

This sound wave results from the back and forth vibration of the particles of air through which the sound wave is moving. The sound wave causes disturbance within the particles of air by transfering energy from one particle to the adjacent particles of air without causing permanent displacement of the particles of air. The motion between these particles of air caused by sound wave is vibrational, while breeze involves displacement of particles of air through translational motion. Hence, breeze is a moving mass of air.

Thus, the motion of air particle caused by sound wave is vibrational and cannot create breeze because breeze involves translational motion (permanent displacement) of the air particles.

A car is towing a boat on a trailer. The driver starts from rest and accelerates to a velocity of +16.7 m/s in a time of 20.7 s.
frutty [35]

Answer:

F = 479.21 N

Explanation:

given,

initial velocity = 0 m/s  

final velocity = 16.7 m/s        

time taken = 20.7 s          

combined mass of the boat and trailer  = 594 kg

tension in the hitch = ?          

using equation of motion          

v = u + a t

16.7 = 0 + a × 20.7

a = 0.807 m/s²              

Force = mass × acceleration        

F = 594 × 0.807                

F = 479.21 N

Hence, the tension in the hitch that connects the  trailer to the car is        F = 479.21 N

The magnetising current in a transformer is rich in ______________ harmonic?
sukhopar [10]
The magnetizing current in a transformer is rich in 3rd harmonic. This is because harmonics are AC voltages and currents with frequencies that are generally higher.
