Longitudinal waves transfer energy ___________ to the direction of the wave motion.

Physics

andriy [413]3 years ago

The correct answer to the question is parallel.

EXPLANATION:

Before answering the question, first we have to understand a longitudinal wave.

A longitudinal wave is a type of mechanical wave in which the particle vibration is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.

In this type of wave, one will find compression and rarefaction . Compression is the high pressure region where particles are closely aggregated to each other while rarefaction is the low pressure region where particles are far away from each other. Hence, a longitudinal wave is a series of compression and rarefaction.

The transfer of energy occurs from particle to particle. On the other hand, we may say that transfer of energy takes place from compression to rarefaction, and this process is repeated.

Hence, the longitudinal waves transfer energy parallel to the direction of the wave motion.

Consider an alien on a planet with an acceleration of gravity equal to 20 m/sec^2. If the alien's mass is 10 kg, how much does t
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

the weight of alien is 200 newtons

Explanation:

The computation of the alien weight is shown below:

Given that

Acceleration = 20m/sec^2

And, the mass is 10 kg

So, the weight of alien is

= 20 × 10

= 200 newtons

hence, the weight of alien is 200 newtons

A person is riding a bicycle, and its wheels have an angular velocity of 10.7 rad/s. Then, the brakes are applied and the bike i
Scilla [17]

Answer:

(a) t = 22.9 s

(b) α= - 0.467 rad/s²

Explanation:

The uniformly accelerated circular movement, is a circular path movement in which the angular acceleration is constant.

We apply the equations of circular motion uniformly accelerated :

ωf ²=  ω₀² + 2*α*θ  Formula (1)

ωf= ω₀ + α*t Formula (2)

Where:

θ : angle that the body has rotated in a given time interval (rad)

α : angular acceleration (rad/s²)

t : time interval (s)

ω₀ : initial angular speed ( rad/s)

ωf : final angular speed ( rad/s)

Data

θ =  19.5 revolutions  : angular displacement of each wheel or angle that the  wheel has rotated in a given time interval

ω₀= 10.7 rad/s :  initial angular speed of the Wheel ( rad/s)

ωf = 0 : final angular speed  of the Whee( rad/s)

Calculating of the angular acceleration (α )

We replace data in the fómula (1),considering that 1 revolution is equal to 2π radians :

ωf ²=  ω₀² + 2*α*θ

(0 )²=  (10.7)² + 2*α*(19.5*2*π )

0= 114.49 + (245.04)*α

-114.49 =  (245.04)*α

α= (-114.49) /(245.04)

α= -114.49 /(245.04)

α= -0.467 rad/s²

Time does it take for the bike to come to rest

We replace data in the formula (2)

ωf = ω₀ + α*t

0 =  10.7 + -0.467*t

-10.7  = - 0.467*t    we multiply by (-1) both sides of the equation :

10.7  = 0.467*t  

t = 10.7 / 0.467

t = 22.9 s

Oxygen is a diatomic gas. How many oxygen molecules are in 16 grams of oxygen?
Licemer1 [7]

1 mol of oxygen molecules = 2 * 16 = 32 grams.

x mol of oxygen = 16 grams

1/x = 32/16    Cross multiply

16 = 32x        Divide by 32

16/32 = x

x = 1/2 mol

1 mol of anything has 6.02 * 10^23 somethings (molecules in this case).

1/2 mol = 6.02 *10^23 / 2

1/2 mol = 3.01 * 10^23 molecules <<<< answer
