What is the source of all mechanical waves?

Physics
1 answer:
frutty [35]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Vibration.

Explanation:

Mechanical waves is formed by the oscillation of matter and therefore transfer energy from one medium to the other. Unlike electromagnetic waves, mechanical waves need some medium to propagate. It requires an initial energy input and thus carries this energy when it propagates. There are three types of mechanical waves namely transverse waves, longitudinal waves and surface waves. Examples of such waves are sound waves, water waves and seismic waves.

What is the enthalpy change, ΔH, for this reaction? Show your work.
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

B) What is the enthalpy change, ∆H, for this reaction? Show your work to receive full credit (5 points) The enthalpy change is 150. To find it we must subtract energy of products (200) & the energy of reactants (50) so 200 – 50 equals 150.

If you could shine a very powerful flashlight beam toward the Moon, estimate the diameter of the beam when it reaches the Moon.
grin007 [14]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the Rayleigh Criterion (Angular resolution)criterion. This conceptos describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye, to distinguish small details of an object, thereby making it a major determinant of image resolution.  By definition is defined as:

\theta = 1.22\frac{\lambda}{d}

Where,

\lambda= Wavelength

d = Width of the slit

\theta= Angular resolution

Through the arc length we can find the radius, which would be given according to the length and angle previously described.

The radius of the beam on the moon is

r = l\theta

Relacing \theta

r = l(\frac{1.22\lambda}{d})

r = 1.22\frac{l\lambda}{d}

Replacing with our values we have that,

r = 1.22*(\frac{(384*10^3km)(\frac{1000m}{1km})(550*10^{-9}m)}{7*10^{{-2}}})

r = 3680.91m

Therefore the diameter of the beam on the moon is

d = 2r

d = 2 * (3690.91)

d = 7361.8285m

Hence, the diameter of the beam when it reaches the moon is 7361.82m

A car’s brakes decelerate it at a rate of -1.70 m/s2. What is the time, in seconds, required to slow the car from 15 m/s to 9.0
jeka94

Answer:

t = 3.52 s

Explanation:

Given that,

The deceleration of a car is, a = -1.7 m/s²

The initial velocity of the car, u = 15 m/s

Final velocity of the car, v = 9 m/s

We need to find the time that is required to slow the car from 15 m/s to 9 m/s. The definition of acceleration is :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\dfrac{9-15}{-1.7}\\\\t=3.52\ s

So, it will take 3.52 seconds to slow the car from 15 m/s to 9 m/s.
