Explain how longitudinal waves and transverse waves are similar to each other and different from each other.

1 answer:

3 0

Similar:
-
For transverse waves, the waves move in perpendicular direction to the source of vibration.
For longitudinal waves, the waves move in parallel direction to the source of vibration .
They are similar in the sense that energy is transferred in the form of waves.
-
Difference:
-
Transverse Waves: Displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.
Longitudinal Waves: Displacement of the medium is parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.

Answer:

No, the acceleration is not always zero.

Explanation:

It does not mean that the acceleration of the particle is zero.

The velocity of wave is different from the velocity of particle.

The acceleration of wave is different from the acceleration of particle.

the acceleration of the particle is given by

$a =- w^2 y$

where, w is the angular frequency and y is the displacement from the mean position.

So, the acceleration is zero at mean position only and it varies as the position changes.

Electric fish generate current with biological cells called electroplaques, which are physiological emf devices. The electroplaq

Answer:

current in water = 0.924 A

Explanation:

Let the current in each row be i.

Thus, current in water is contributed by each row and total current in water becomes 140i.

We are given;

emf of each electroplaque = 0.15 V

Number of electroplaques = 5000

internal resistance = 0.25 Ω

resistance = 800Ω

Applying Kirchoff's Voltage Law to row and water, we have;

5000E − (5000r)i − 800(140i) = 0

Rearranging;

5000E = (5000r)i + 800(140i)

Plugging in the relevant values;

5000 x 0.15 = i((5000 x 0.25) + 112,000)

750 = 113,250i

i = 750/113,250

i = 0.0066 A

Recall earlier, the current in water is 140i.

Thus, current in water = 140 x 0.0066

= 0.924

A bungee jumper starts with 1000 J in their GPE store. After they jump they fall and are brought to a stop with the bungee cord.

Answer:

energy is equal to 1000 J

Explanation:

When the jumper is in the tent, he has a given height, this height gives him a gravitational potential energy, which forms his initial mechanical energy of 1000 J. After jumping, this energy is converted into elastic energy of the rope plus a remainder of potential energy gravitational, it does not reach the ground, but as the friction is negligible the total mechanical energy is conserved, therefore its energy is equal to 1000 J

This is a case of energy transformation, but the total value of mechanical energy does not change
