How is wave movement affected by the various mediums it may travel through?

Physics
1 answer:
Juliette [100K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

speed is affected by the medium in wich the wave travels.

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is affected when traveling in different medium, depending on the medium in which the wave travels it can go faster or slower, or not even be able to travel in that medium.

For light waves, the denser the medium through which the wave travels, the slower it will go through it, as there is more resistance to the light particles.

And in waves like sound, which instead of particles is a vibration or disturbance in the medium, they travel faster in denser mediums such as metal, because the disturbance is transmitted more efficiently thanks to how close together that the particles are in the metal, This is why sound does not travel in a vacuum; there are not even particles to transmit the vibration.

OLEGan [10]
There are two force acting on an object that is being lifted. (1) the weight of the car, (2) the upward force. The difference of these force should be equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration. (This is the content of Newton's 2nd Law of Motion). If we let the lifting force be F,
                       F - (830)(9.8) = (830)(3.8)
The value of F from the equation is 11288 N.

11. A plow pushes 100 kg of snow with 300 N of force. How much is the pile of snow<br> accelerated?
Fed [463]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is an application of Newton's second Law.

Formula

F = m * a

F = 300 N

m = 100 kg

a = ?

F = m * a

300N = 100 kg * a            Divide by 100

300N/100kg = a

a = 3 m/sec^2
