B.compressions

Explanation:

This is a characteristics of the "longitudinal waves".

Longitudinal waves are waves where the oscillation of the particles of the medium occurs in a direction parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave (an example of longitudinal waves are sound waves). As a consequence, this oscillation creates some regions where particles are closer together, and other regions where particles are more spread apart. The former are called "compressions", while the latter are called "rarefactions".

Two 2.0kg bodies A and B collide The velocities before the collision are U1=15i+30j and U2=-10j+5.0j After the collision V1=-5.0
Svetllana [295]

Use the law of conservation of momentum. Since the momentum is a linear measure, we can treat each of the dimension separately:

i-direction:

m_1u_{1i}+m_2u_{2i}=m_1v_{1i}+m_2v_{2i}\\v_{2i} = \frac{m_1u_{1i}+m_2u_{2i}-m_1v_{1i}}{m_2}=\frac{(2\cdot 15-2\cdot10+2\cdot5)kg\frac{m}{s}}{2kg}=10\frac{m}{s}

j-direction:

m_1u_{1j}+m_2u_{2j}=m_1v_{1j}+m_2v_{2j}\\v_{2j} = \frac{m_1u_{1j}+m_2u_{2j}-m_1v_{1j}}{m_2}=\frac{(2\cdot 30+2\cdot5-2\cdot20)kg\frac{m}{s}}{2kg}=15\frac{m}{s}

Answer: Final velocity is: (10i + 15j) m/s

Change in the kinetic energy:

\Delta E_k = E_{ku}-E_{kv} = \frac{1}{2}m(u_1^2+u_2^2-v_1^2-v_2^2)=\\=\frac{1}{2}2kg(1125+125-425-325)\frac{m^2}{s^2}=500J

Answer: The system lost 500J worth of kinetic energy in the collision

The efficiency of a screw is low because of _____.
AfilCa [17]
The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be the second option. A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. <span>The efficiency of a screw is low because there is more input than output. In other words, it is because of friction. Hope this answer helps.</span>

Earth's core is the source of the energy that drives the movement of tectonic
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

B. Convection

D. Conduction

Explanation:

Conduction and convection are the two most prominent processes that helps transfer energy outward to the earth's crust.

  • Energy within the core is a function of the radioactive decay and frictional heating.
  • Also, heat that accreted during the formation of the earth is a significant source of internal energy.
  • The heat is conducted away by the process of convection. This is possible due to temperature differences between different parts of the earth
  • Conduction is made made possible due to the metallic bodies in the core and other part of the inner earth.
