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.

A ball has a mass of 0.1 kg and an initial velocity of 20 m/s. The ball is given an acceleration of 30 m/s2 for 5 s. What is the
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

acceleration = v-u /t

30- 20/5

= 10/5 = 2m/sec²

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 0.1 * 2

Force = 0.2 Newton

A. 2kg<br><br> B. 6kg<br><br> C. 8kg<br><br> D. 14kg
Sati [7]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

We know the force is (16N-12), which is 4N, and we know the acceleration is 2 m/s^2. Meaning, we can solve the formula m = F / a (mass equals force divided by acceleration), and we get 2kg.

Joey is riding in an elevator which is accelerating upwards at 2.0 m/s2. The elevator weighs 300.0 kg, and Joey weighs 60.0 kg.
vodka [1.7K]

4200 N  is the tension in the cable that pulls the elevator upwards.

The correct option is A.

<h3>What does tension ?</h3>

Tension is the force that is sent through a rope, thread, or wire whenever two opposing forces pull on it. Along the whole length of the wire, the tensile stress pulls equally on all objects at the ends. Every physical object that comes into contact with that other one exerts force on it.

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

We employ the following formula to determine the cable's tension.

Formula:

T = mg+ma............ Equation 1

Where:

T is the cable's tension.

M = Mass of the elevator and the Joey

Accelerating with a

g = Gravitational acceleration

Considering the query,

Given:

m = (300+60) = 360 kg

a = 2 m/s²

g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

T = (360×9.8)+(360×2)

T = 3528+720

T = 4248 N

T ≈ 4200 to the nearest hundred.
