<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.

What is the momentum of an object that is moving in a straight line at a speed of 10 m/s and has a mass of 10 kilograms?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
The momentum of an object is given by the product between its mass and its velocity:
p=mv
where m is the mass and v the velocity.

For the object in our problem, m=10 kg and v=10 m/s, therefore its momentum is
p=mv=(10 kg)(10 m/s)=100 kg m/s
So, the correct answer is B).

An object propelled upwards with an acceleration of 2.0 m / s ^ 2 is launched from rest. After 6 seconds the fuel runs out. Dete
dezoksy [38]

Answer:43.34 m

Explanation:

Given

acceleration(a)=2 m/s^2

Initial Velocity(u)=0 m/s

After 6 s fuel runs out

Velocity after 6 s

v=u+at

v=0+2\times 6=12 m/s

After this object will start moving under gravity

height reached in first 6 s

s=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}

s=0+\frac{2\times 6^2}{2}

s=36 m

After fuel run out distance traveled in upward direction is

v^2-u^2=2as_0

here v=0

u=12 m/s

a=9.8 m/s^2

0-12^2=2(-9.8)(s)

s_0=\frac{144}{2\times 9.8}=7.34 m

s+s_0=36+7.34=43.34 m

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A general wave function is given by:

f(x,t)=Acos(kx-\omega t)

A: amplitude of the wave = 0.075m

k: wave number

w: angular frequency

a) You use the following expressions for the calculation of k, w, T and λ:

\omega = 2\pi f=2\pi (2.00Hz)=12.56\frac{rad}{s}

k=\frac{\omega}{v}=\frac{12.56\frac{rad}{s}}{12.0\frac{m}{s}}=1.047\ m^{-1}

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{2.00Hz}=0.5s\\\\\lambda=\frac{2\pi}{k}=\frac{2\pi}{1.047m^{-1}}=6m

b) Hence, the wave function is:

f(x,t)=0.075m\ cos((1.047m^{-1})x-(12.56\frac{rad}{s})t)

c) for x=3m you have:

f(3,t)=0.075cos(1.047*3-12.56t)

d) the speed of the medium:

\frac{df}{dt}=\omega Acos(kx-\omega t)\\\\\frac{df}{dt}=(12.56)(1.047)cos(1.047x-12.56t)

you can see the velocity of the medium for example for x = 0:

v=\frac{df}{dt}=13.15cos(12.56t)
