<em>Mechanical waves need a medium through which to transport energy is true</em>

Answer: <em>True </em>

Explanation:

Mechanical wave cannot travel in the absence of a material medium. The reason why sound can’t be heard in vacuum is because it is a mechanical wave. Seismic wave, which is produced during earthquakes and ocean waves are also mechanical waves.

Mechanical waves are of three types and they are

  • <em>Transverse wave </em>
  • <em>Longitudinal wave </em>
  • <em>Surface wave </em>

Electromagnetic waves are known for their propagation without a material medium. X-rays, light waves, infrared waves etc are electromagnetic waves.

Characteristic features of a wave are its frequency, wavelength, speed etc.

Answer:True

Explanation: The mechanical waves need a medium through which to transport energy because the perturbation travels inside of the medium so it needs molecules that connect elastically the displacement of the wave. For example the sound mainly uses the air molecules to transport the energy also the sound can be traveled in solid materials like metal rods.

A luggage handler pulls a 20.0 kgkg suitcase up a ramp inclined at 32.0 ∘∘ above the horizontal by a force F⃗ F→ of magnitude 16
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

a)    W₁ = 8242.2 J, b)      W₁ = 8242.2 J , c)  W₃ = 0 , d)  W₄ = -189.51 J  ,

f) v = 27.24 m / s

Explanation:

a) Work is defined by

         W = F. d ​​= F d sin θ

where angle is between force and displacement

n this case the suitcase is going up and the outside F is parallel to the plane, so the angle is zero and the cosine is 1

         W = F d

           

Let's calculate

         W = 169 3.8

          W₁ = 8242.2 J

b) the gravitational force is vertical so it has an angle with respect to the horizontal parallel to the plane of

           θ’= 90 - θ

           θ'= 90-32 = 58º

           

           W = m g d thing θ ’

            W = 20 9.8 3.8 thing (180 + tea ’) =

            W = 744.8 cos (180 + 32)

            W₂ = -631.6 J

c) The normal work, as it has 90º with respect to the displacement, its work is zero

         W₃ = 0

d) the work of the friction force

           

Let's write Newton's second law the Y axis

         N- Wy = 0

         Cos 32 = Wy / W

          N = W cos 32

The expression for friction force is

         fr = μ N

         fr = μ mg cos 32

         fr = 0.300 20 9.8 cos (32)

         fr = 49.87 N

The work of the friction force

         W = fr d cos 180

         W₄ = -49.87 3.8

          W₄ = -189.51 J

 

E) The total work

         W = W₁ + W₂ + W₃ + W₄

         W = 8242.2- 631.6 + 0 -189.51

          W_total = 7421.09 J

F) Usmeosel theorem of work and energy

          W = ΔK

          W = ΔK = ½ m v² - 0

          v =√ 2W / m

          v = √ (2 7421.09 / 20)

          v = 27.24 m / s

1. A baseball is hit straight up at a speed of 45 meters per second.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

a) 103.32 m

b) 9.18 s

Explanation:

a) Let's use the knowledge that at the top of its trajectory, the baseball will have a final velocity of 0 m/s.

The acceleration due to gravity is -9.8 m/s², assuming the upwards direction is positive and the downwards direction is negative.

The initial velocity of the baseball is 45 m/s.

We are trying to find the vertical displacement of the baseball, Δx, and we have the variables v, a, and v₀.

Find the constant acceleration equation that contains all four of these variables:

  • v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

Substitute the known values into the equation.

  • (0)² = (45)² + 2(-9.8)Δx
  • 0 = 2025 - 19.6Δx
  • -2025 = -19.6Δx
  • Δx = 103.32

The maximum height of the ball before it falls back down is 103.32 m.

b) Now we want to solve for time t. Find a constant acceleration equation that contains three known variables.

  • v = v₀ + at

Substitute known values into this equation.

  • 0 = 45 + (-9.8)t
  • -45 = -9.8t
  • t = 4.59183673

Remember that this is only half of the baseball's flight since we are using the final velocity for when the ball is halfway through its trajectory.

To solve for the total time the baseball is in the air, double the time t we solved for.

  • 2t = 9.18367346

The baseball is in the air for 9.18 s.

The ideal gas model is valid if which of the following conditions is true?
VashaNatasha [74]

in ideal gas we have few things that we need to follow as following

1. Force of interaction between gas molecules are negligible.

2. There is no effect of gravity on them

3. All collisions are perfectly elastic collision.

4. there will be no energy loss

5. All newton's law are valid for them.

6. all molecules moves with same speed in random direction.

So here in order to follow all above conditions we have to maintain low pressure and high temperature in the gas due to which the density of gas becomes low.

So correct answer will be

<em>The gas density is low and the temperature is high.</em>
