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.

Charge X has twice as much charge as particle Y. The two charges are placed near each other. Compared to the force on particle X
Art [367]

The force on charge Y is the same as the force on charge X

Explanation:

We can answer this problem by applying Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force on object B (action force), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A (reaction force)"

In this problem, we can identify object A as charge X and object B as charge Y. The magnitude of the electrostatic force between them is given by

F=k\frac{q_x q_y}{r^2}  (1)

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_x, q_y are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

According to Newton's third law, therefore, the magnitude of the force exerted by charge X on charge Y is the  same as the force exerted by charge Y on charge X (and it is given by eq.(1)), however their directions are opposite.

Your GPS shows that your friend’s house is 10.0 km away. But there is a big hill between your houses and you don’t want to bike
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The value is c  = 8 \  km

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance of friends house from your point is a =  10 \  km

The distance of your friends street from your street is b =  6 \  km \  in the \ direction \  towards \  the  \  north

The diagram illustrating this question is shown on the first uploaded image

From the diagram we can apply by Pythagoras theorem as follows

a^2 =  b^2 +  c^2

=>     c  =  \sqrt{^2 -  b^2}

=>     c  =  \sqrt{ 10^2 -  6^2}

=>     c  = 8 \  km

An air balloon is moving upward at a constant speed of 3 m/s. Suddenly a passenger realizes that she left her camera on the grou
frosja888 [35]

Answer:t=0.3253 s

Explanation:

Given

speed of balloon is u=3\ m/s

speed of camera u_1=20\ m/s

Initial separation between camera and balloon is d_o=5\ m

Suppose after t sec of  throw camera reach balloon then,

distance travel by balloon is

s=ut

s=3\times t

and distance travel by camera to reach balloon is

s_1=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

s_1=20\times t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Now

\Rightarrow s_1=5+s

\Rightarrow 20\times t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2 =5+3t

\Rightarrow 5t^2-17t+5=0

\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{17\pm \sqrt{17^2-4(5)(5)}}{2\times 5}

\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{17\pm 13.747}{10}

\Rightarrow t=0.3253\ s\ \text{and}\ t=3.07\ s

There are two times when camera reaches the same level as balloon and the smaller time is associated with with the first one .

(b)When passenger catches the camera time is  t=0.3253\ s

velocity is given by

v=u+at

v=20-10\times 0.3253

v=16.747\ m/s

and position of camera is same as of balloon so

Position is =5+3\times 0.3253

=5.975\approx 6\ m

How long will bus take to travel 150 km at an average speed of 40km/hr
romanna [79]

Answer:

3.75 hours

Explanation:

By v = \frac{d}{t}

where v is the velocity (or speed in this case)

d is the distance travelled

t is the time taken

t = \frac{150}{40}=3.75
Therefore it takes 3.75 hours for the bus to travel 150 km and 40 km/hr.
