What are waves and what causes waves

Physics
1 answer:
denis23 [38]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Waves are disturbances that transmits energy from one point to another either using the particles of the medium or not.

There are different forms of waves.

The electromagnetic waves is produced by the sun and it transmits energy to all the universe

Ocean waves are clearly physical and we can see how they propagate in nature.

Causes of waves:

  • The ultimate cause of a wave is a source of disturbance and energy.
  • In the ocean, wave are caused by winds when they cause friction over surface waters.
  • Electromagnetic waves are energetic waves that transmits their own energy outward.
  • Temperature differences between places can cause waves too.
  • Vibration can lead to generation of waves.
  • Pressure differences

SashulF [63]

Answer:

 L = 41.09 Kg m2 / s      The angular momentum does not depend on the time

Explanation:

The definition of angular momentum is

        L = r x p

Where blacks indicate vectors

Let's apply this definition our case. Linear momentum

      p = m v

Let's replace

      L = m r x v

The given function is

      x = 6.00 i ^ + 4.15 t j ^

We look for speed

     v = dx / dt

     v = 0 + 4.15 j ^

To evaluate the angular momentum one of the best ways is to use determinants

     L = m \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\6&4.15t&0\\0&4.15&0\end{array}\right]

      L = m 6 4.15 k ^

The other products give zero

Let's calculate

      L = 1.65 6 4.15 k ^

      L = 41.09 Kg m2 / s

The angular momentum does not depend on the time

Two violinists are trying to play in tune. However, whenever they play their A string at the same time they hear a beat frequenc
kaheart [24]

Answer:

The possible frequencies for the A string of the other violinist is 457 Hz and 467 Hz.

(3) and (4) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Beat frequency f = 5.0 Hz

Frequency f'= 462 Hz

We need to calculate the possible frequencies for the A string of the other violinist

Using formula of frequency

f'=f_{1}-f...(I)

f'=f_{1}+f...(II)

Where, f= beat frequency

f₁ = frequency

Put the value in both equations

f'=462-5=457\ Hz

f'=462+5=467\ Hz

Hence, The possible frequencies for the A string of the other violinist is 467 Hz and 457 Hz.

What is an elastic collision?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A collision in which both total momentum and total kinetic energy are conserved

Explanation:

In classical physics, we have two types of collisions:

- Elastic collision: elastic collision is a collision in which both the total momentum of the objects involved and the total kinetic energy of the objects involved are conserved

- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum of the objects involved is conserved, while the total kinetic energy is not. In this type of collisions, part of the total kinetic energy is converted into heat or other forms of energy due to the presence of frictional forces. When the objects stick together after the collision, the collisions is called 'perfectly inelastic collision'
