it is a transverse wave

A transverse wave is the one that sets the particles of medium into oscillations perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. So yes, a transverse wave needs a materialistic medium to propagatee.

Examples of transverse waves include:

ripples on the surface of water.

vibrations in a guitar string.

a Mexican wave in a sports stadium.

electromagnetic waves – eg light waves, microwaves, radio waves.

transverse waves require a material medium and propogate by means of vibrations of the medium perpendicular to the direction of travel. ... Electromagnetic (EM) waves (such as light) are also transverse waves but they do not require a medium and thus can pass through a vacuum

A bus moving in a straight line at speed of 25m/s. what time does the bus take to cover 5km?<br>

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

20 seconds

Explanation:

we know,

speed=distance by time

therefore time= distance by speed

so,

time=5000m by 25m|s

=20 seconds

If the spring constant is doubled, what value does the period have for a mass on a spring?

soldi70 [24.7K]

if spring constant is doubled, the mass on spring will be doubled as well. according to this formula, F=ke

k stands for spring constant and e stands for the length extended

1. 412.9 g of dry ice sublimes at room temperature. a. What’s changing? --- sublimation b. What constant will you use? ----- 25.

hoa [83]

1. 236 kJ

a. The phase (or state of matter) of the substance: from solid state to gas state (sublimation)

b. The enthalphy of sublimation, given by: $\lambda=571 J/g$

c. The equation to use will be $Q=m\lambda$ , where m is the mass of dry ice and $\lambda$ is the enthalpy of sublimation

d. The energy is being absorbed, because the heat is transferred from the environment to the dry ice: as a consequence, the bonds between the molecules of dry ice break and then move faster and faster, and so the substance turns from solid into gas directly.

e. The amount of energy being transferred is

$Q=m\lambda=(412.9 g)(571 J/g)=2.36\cdot 10^5 J=236 kJ$

2. 165 kJ

a. The phase (or state of matter) of the substance: from gas state to liquid state (condensation)

b. The latent heat of vaporisation of water, given by $\lambda=2260 J/g$

c. The equation to use will be $Q=m\lambda$ , where m is the mass of steam that condenses and $\lambda$ is the latent heat of vaporisation

d. The energy is being released, since the substance turns from a gas state (where molecules move faster) into liquid state (where molecules move slower), so the internal energy of the substance has decreased, therefore heat has been released

e. The amount of energy being transferred is

$Q=m\lambda=(72.9 g)(2260 J/g)=1.65\cdot 10^5 J=165 kJ$

3. 3.64 kJ

a. Only the temperature of the substance (which is increasing)

b. The specific heat capacity of silver, which is $C_s = 0.240 J/gC$

c. The equation to use will be $Q=m C_s \Delta T$ , where m is the mass of silver, Cs is the specific heat capacity and $\Delta T$ the increase in temperature

d. The energy is being absorbed by the silver, since its temperature increases, this means that its molecules move faster so energy should be provided to the silver by the surroundings

e. The amount of energy being transferred is

$Q=m C_s \Delta T=(39.2 g)(0.240 J/gC)(412.9^{\circ}C-25.9^{\circ}C)=3641=3.64 kJ$

4. 89 kJ

a. Both the phase of the substance (from solid to liquid) and then the temperature

b. The latent heat of fusion of ice: $\lambda=334 J/g$ and the specific heat capacity of water: $C_s=4.186 J/gC$

c. The equation to use will be $Q=m\lambda + m C_s \Delta T$ , where m is the mass of ice, $\lambda$ the latent heat of fusion of ice, Cs is the specific heat capacity of water and $\Delta T$ the increase in temperature

d. The energy is being absorbed by the ice, at first to break the bonds between the molecules of ice and to cause the melting of ice, and then to increase the temperature of the water

e. The amount of energy being transferred is

$Q=m\lambda +m C_s \Delta T=(156.3 g)(334 J/g)+(156.3 g)(4.186 J/gC)(56.232^{\circ}C-0^{\circ}C)=8.9\cdot 10^4 J=89 kJ$
