Answer:

<u>Compression - "</u>Compression is a process in which the actual space covered by any sort of entity is reduced and the values of the given parameters are lowered."

Explanation:

<u>Definition with respect to Stress and strain-</u> "The change in actual length,L to a new length,ΔL due to applied stress is called as compression".

<u>Definition with respect to longitudinal wave-</u> "The region of the wave where the particles present are more close to each other is called as compression".

Answer:

The answer that I found is.....

<h3><u><em>Compression. A compression is a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together. Rarefaction. A rarefaction is a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are furthest apart.</em></u></h3>

Veseljchak [2.6K]
Given:
F = ax
where
x = distance by which the rubber band is stretched
a =  constant

The work done in stretching the rubber band from x = 0 to x = L is
W=\int_{0}^{L} Fdx = \int_{0}^{L}ax \, dx = \frac{a}{2}  [x^{2} ]_{0}^{L} =  \frac{aL^{2}}{2}

Answer:  \frac{aL^{2}}{2}

A child throws a ball vertically upward to a friend on a balcony 28 m above him. The friend misses the ball on its upward flight
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

t=1.9 sec

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height h=28m

Time t=3s

Generally the Newton's equation for Initial velocity upward is mathematically given by

 s=ut+\frtac{1}{2}at^2

 28=3u-\frac{1}{2}*9.8*3^2

 u=24.03m/s

Generally the velocity at  elevation and depression occurs  as ball arrives and passes through S=28

 v=\sqrt{24.03-2*9.8*28}

 v=5.35m/s and -5.35m/s

Generally the Newton's equation for time to reach initial velocity  is mathematically given by

 v=u+at

 5.35=24.03-9.8t

 t=\frac{28.03-5.35}{9.8}

 t=1.9 sec
