Answer: The correct word for the blank is 'oscillates'

" a mechanical wave is created when a medium <em>oscillates</em> , or moves back and forth or up and down

Explanation:

When the matter oscillates or vibrates it transfers energy through the medium in the form of wave which termed s mechanical wave.For example: Sound wave,slinky waves, water waves are the examples of mechanical waves.

So, " a mechanical wave is created when a medium <em>oscillates</em> , or moves back and forth or up and down

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:The answer is B

Explanation:

A generator produces electricity. Energy enters the system (generator) as kinetic energy. It is converted into electrical energy, which can run electrical appliances. Some energy is always wasted as heat and sound. Therefore, Choice B is the best answer.

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

t₂ = 3.89 s

Explanation:

given,

speed of car = 23 m/s

speed of motorcycle = 23 m/s

after time of 4 s distance between them is equal to = 53 m

motorcycle accelerates at = 7 m/s

time taken to catch up with car = ?

let t₂ be the time in which motorcycle catches car.

distance traveled by car in t₂ s

d = 23 t₂ + 53

distance traveled by motorcycle

using equation of motion

$s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$s = 23 t_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times 7 \times t_2^2$

now, equating both the distances

$23t_2 + 53= 23 t_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times 7 \times t_2^2$

$t_2^2 = 15.143$

t₂ = 3.89 s

time taken by the motorcycle to catch the car is equal to 3.89 s

Noise-canceling headphones are an application of destructive interference. Each side of the headphones uses a microphone to pick

exis [7]

The question for this problem would be the minimum headphone delay, in ms, that will cancel this noise.
The 200 Hz. period = (1/200) = 0.005 sec. It will need to be delayed by 1/2, so 0.005/2, that is = 0.0025 sec. So converting sec to ms, will give us the delay of:Delay = 2.5 ms.
