What kind of wave (transverse of longitudinal) is each of the following and why?

Physics
1 answer:
Elina [12.6K]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1.) Longitudinal waves

2.) Transverse waves

3.) Longitudinal waves

Explanation:

The sound of one whale calling another whale underwater.  is a longitudinal wave since the medium, in this case the body of water, is vibrating parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.

A pulse sent down a stretched rope by snapping one end of it. ( transverse wave) because its oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave or path of propagation

The vibrations in a guitar string

Longitudinal wave. Because its oscillations are parallel to the direction of the wave or path of propagation

anzhelika [568]

To solve the problem, use Kepler's 3rd law : 

T² = 4π²r³ / GM 

Solved for r : 

r = [GMT² / 4π²]⅓ 

but first covert 6.00 years to seconds : 

6.00years = 6.00years(365days/year)(24.0hours/day)(6... 
= 1.89 x 10^8s 

The radius of the orbit then is : 

r = [(6.67 x 10^-11N∙m²/kg²)(1.99 x 10^30kg)(1.89 x 10^8s)² / 4π²]⅓ 
= 6.23 x 10^11m

10-kg box is sliding across an ice rink at 10 m/s . A skater exerts a constant force of 10 N against it. How long will it take f
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Time, t = 10 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 10kg

Force = 10N

Final velocity = 10m/s

Initial velocity = 0m/s

To find the time;

First of all, we would find the acceleration of the box.

Force = mass * acceleration

10 = 10 * acceleration

Acceleration = 10/10 = 1m/s²

Now, we can find the time by using the first equation of motion;

V = U + at

10 = 0 + 1t

10 = t

Time, t = 10 seconds

Therefore, it will take 10 seconds for the box to come to a complete stop.

If a ball is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of 80 ft/s, then its height after ???? seconds is ????(????)=80????−16????
Zina [86]

Answer:

100 ft

16 ft/s

16 ft/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s² (negative upwards and positive downwards)

The function here is of the form which is one of the equations of motion

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=80t+\frac{1}{2}32t^2\\\Rightarrow s=80t+16t^2

From another equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-80^2}{2\times -32}\\\Rightarrow s=100\ ft

The maximum height the ball will reach is 100 ft

When s = 96 ft

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times -32\times 96+80^2}\\\Rightarrow v=16\ ft/s

The velocity of the ball when it is 96 ft above the ground on its way up is 16 ft/s

On the way down when it will be 96 ft above the ground it would travel 100-96 = 4 ft from the maximum height

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 32\times 4+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=16\ ft/s

The velocity of the ball on the way down when it is 96 ft above the ground  is 16 ft/s
