What is the best description of a mechanical wave?

Physics

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]3 years ago

Answer:

A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission—the material—is limited. Therefore, the oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position.

Sally started at the starting point.

She walked 10m forward.  So far, she walked 10m, and she was 10m from the starting point.

Then she walked 5m backward.  So far, she walked 15m, but she was only 5m from the starting point.

The distance she walked was 15m.  But her displacement is how far she is from the starting point ... that's only 5m

Displacement = 5 meters

Distance = 15 meters

Displacement is 10m less than distance walked.  <em>(B)</em>


===> If she kept going and walked <u><em>another </em></u>5m backward, she would be back where she started.  The total distance she walked would be 20m, and her displacement would be zero !

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The wave speed is 2.8 m.

Explanation:

Wavelength = 1.4 m

frequency, f = 2 Hz

the wave speed is given by

wave speed = wavelength x frequency

wave speed = 1.4 x 2 = 2.8 m

option (D) is correct.
