Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract
Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.
Answer:
The magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push
Explanation:
Since the crate moves at a constant speed, there is no net acceleration and thus, my push is balanced by the frictional force on the crate. So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.
Let F = push and f = frictional force and f' = net force
F - f = f' since the crate moves at constant speed, acceleration is zero and thus f' = ma = m (0) = 0
So, F - f = 0
Thus, F = f
So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.
Answer: 7750 J
Explanation:
Mechanical energy is potential energy added to kinetic energy.
5000 + 2750 J = 7750 J
