For each type of wave compare the vibration of the medium to the direction of the wave

1 answer:

There are two types of mechanical waves:

longitudinal waves : Their displacement is in a direction perpendicular to the vibrations of the wave forming crests and troughs.

Transverse waves : They have the vibrations in the direction of the wave forming compressions and rarefactions.

Harry and ron set up this experiment with a glider, whose mass they have measured to be 565 g, and seven washers hanging from th

svetlana [45]

Let's call $m=565~g=0.565~kg$ the mass of the glider and $m_w=7\cdot12~g =84~g=0.084~kg$ the total mass of the seven washers hanging from the string.
The net force on the system is given by the weight of the hanging washers:
$F_{net} = m_w g$
For Newton's second law, this net force is equal to the product between the total mass of the system (which is $m+m_w$ ) and the acceleration a:
$F_{net}=(m+m_w)a$
So, if we equalize the two equations, we get
$m_w g = (m+m_w)a$
and from this we can find the acceleration:
$a= \frac{m_w g}{(m+m_w)} = \frac{0.084~kg \cdot 9.81~m/s^2}{(0.565~kg+0.084~kg)}=1.27~m/s^2$

While jumping on a trampoline you calculate that at the highest peak of your jump you have 900 joules of gravitational potential

BabaBlast [244]

Jumping on a trampoline is a classic example of conservation of energy, from potential into kinetic. It also shows Hooke's laws and the spring constant. Furthermore, it verifies and illustrates each of Newton's three laws of motion.

<u>Explanation</u>

When we jump on a trampoline, our body has kinetic energy that changes over time. Our kinetic energy is greatest, just before we hit the trampoline on the way down and when you leave the trampoline surface on the way up. Our kinetic energy is 0 when you reach the height of your jump and begin to descend and when are on the trampoline, about to propel upwards.

Potential energy changes along with kinetic energy. At any time, your total energy is equal to your potential energy plus your kinetic energy. As we go up, the kinetic energy converts into potential energy.

Hooke's law is another form of potential energy. Just as the trampoline is about to propel us up, your kinetic energy is 0 but your potential energy is maximized, even though we are at a minimum height. This is because our potential energy is related to the spring constant and Hooke's Law.

A monatomic gas is adiabatically compressed to 0.250 of its initial volume. Do each of the following quantities change?

Len [333]

Answer:

Given that

V2/V1= 0.25

And we know that in adiabatic process

TV^န-1= constant

T1/T2=( V1 /V2)^ န-1

So = ( 1/0.25)^ 0.66= 2.5

Also PV^န= constant

So P1/P2= (V2/V1)^န

= (1/0.25)^1.66 = 9.98

A. RMS speed is

Vrms= √ 3RT/M

But this is also

Vrms 2/Vrms1= (√T2/T1)

Vrms2=√2.5= 1.6vrms1

Lambda=V/4π√2πr²N

Lambda 2/lambda 1= V2/V1 = 0.25

So the mean free path can be inferred to be 0.25 times the first mean free path

C. Using

Eth= 3/2KT

So Eth2/Eth1= T2/T1

Eth2= 2.5Eth1

Using CV= 3/2R

Cvf= Cvi

So molar specific heat constant does not change
