1. a. longitudinal waves.
There are two types of waves:
- Transverse waves: in transverse waves, the oscillations of the wave occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave
- Longitudinal waves: in longitudinal waves, the oscillations of the waves occur parallel to the direction in which the waves are travelling.
So, these types of waves are called longitudinal waves.
2. d. a medium
There are two types of waves:
- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field, and they can travel both in a medium and also in a vacuum (they do not need a medium to propagate)
- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, so they need a medium to propagate - therefore, the correct choice is d. a medium
3. a. AM/FM radio
Analogue signals consist of continuous signals, which vary in a continuous range of values. On the contrary, digital signals consist of discrete signals, which can assume only some discrete values. For AM and FM radios, signals are transmitted by using analogue signals.
Answer:
1.06 secs
Explanation:
Initial speed of sled, u = 8.4 m/s
Final speed of sled, v = 5.8 m/s
Coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.25
Using the impulse momentum theory, we know that the impulse applied to the sled is equal to change in momentum of the sled:
FΔt = mv - mu
where m = mass of the object
Δt = time interval
F = force applied
The force applied on the sled is the frictional force, which is given as:
F = -μmg
where g = acceleration due to gravity
Therefore:
-μmgΔt = mv - mu
-μmgΔt = m(v - u)
-μgΔt = v - u
Making Δt subject of formula:
Δt = (v - u) / -μg
Δt = (5.8 - 8.4) / (-0.25 * 9.8)
Δt = -2.6/ -2.45
Δt = 1.06 secs
It took the sled 1.06 secs to travel from A to B.
The 'Rite of Spring' was composed by Igor Stravinsky.
Answer:
Speed; v = 17 m/s
Explanation:
We are given;
Radius; r = 110m
Angle; θ = 15°
Now, we know that in circular motion,
v² = rg•tanθ
Thus,
v = √(rg•tanθ)
Where,
v is velocity
r is radius
g is acceleration due to gravity
θ is the angle
Thus,
v = √(rg•tanθ) = √(110 x 9.8•tan15)
v = √(288.85)
v = 17 m/s
