What is the best description of a mechanical wave?

Physics
1 answer:
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Feliz [49]

The height of the rail on top of the press box where the ball was dropped from is 11.025 m.

The given parameters:

  • Time of motion of the ball, t = 1.5 s
  • Let the height of the rail = h

<h3>Maximum height of fall;</h3>
  • The maximum height through which the ball was dropped from is calculated by applying second equation of motion;

h = v_0_y t + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = \frac{1}{2} (9.8) (1.5)^2\\\\h = 11.025 \ m

Thus, the height of the rail on top of the press box where the ball was dropped from is 11.025 m.

Which choice shows the correct sequence of features formed by continued wave erosion?
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Wave-cut cliff, sea arch, sea stacks

Explanation:

The effect of a wave erosion is made obvious by the structures formed by the wave action.

The high areas of land adjacent to the incoming wave develop the early features or the formation of wave action, which includes the <em>wave-cut cliff</em>

The continuous undercutting of the cliff by the wave results in the formation of the <em>wave cut platform</em>

The effect of the wave further on a cliff, results in the formation of a sea arch and finally a <em>sea stack</em>

Therefore, the correct sequence is the wave-cut cliff, sea arch, sea stacks

Alex

Answer:

 v=39.05 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

x= 56 cm

F= 158 N

m= 58 g = 0.058 kg

Lets take spring constant = k

At the initial position,before releasing the arrow

F= k x

By putting the values

F= k x

158= 0.56 k

k=282.14 N/m

Now from energy conservation

Lets take final speed of the arrow after releasing

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

k x²=mv²

282.14 x 0.56² = 0.058 v²

v=39.05 m/s
