Answer:

Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another.

Sound waves are incapable of traveling through a vacuum. Slinky waves, water waves, stadium waves, and jump rope waves are other examples of mechanical waves; each requires some medium in order to exist.

Here is the full question

Suppose there are 10,000 civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy. If the civilizations were randomly distributed throughout the disk of the galaxy, about how far (on average) would it be to the nearest civilization?

(Hint: Start by finding the area of the Milky Way's disk, assuming that it is circular and 100,000 light-years in diameter. Then find the average area per civilization, and use the distance across this area to estimate the distance between civilizations.)

Answer:

1000 light-years (ly)

Explanation:

If we go by the hint; The area of the disk can be expressed as:

$A = \pi (\frac{D}{2})^2$

where D = 100, 000 ly

Let's divide the Area by the number of civilization; if we do that ; we will be able to get 'n' disk that is randomly distributed; so ;

$d= \frac{A}{N} =\frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}$

The distance between each disk is further calculated by finding the radius of the density which is shown as follows:

$d = \pi r^2 e$

$r^2_e= \frac{d}{\pi}$

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{d}{\pi} }$

replacing d = $\frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}$ in the equation above; we have:

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}{\pi} }$

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{(\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}$

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{(\frac{100,000}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}$

$r_e = 500 ly$

The distance (s) between each civilization = $2(r_e)$

= 2 (500 ly)

= 1000 light-years (ly)

Amanda [17]

Answer:

The current in the primary is 0.026 A

Explanation:

Using the formula

I1 = (V1/V2)*I2

we have

I1 = (6.4/120)*0.500

I1 = 0.026 A

topjm [15]

Answer:

$\Delta U = \frac{Qq}{4\pi\epsilon_0}(\frac{1}{r_2^2}-\frac{1}{r_1^2})$

Explanation:

The electrostatic potential energy is given by the following formula

$U = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

Now, we will apply this formula to both cases:

$U_1 = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qq}{r_1^2}\\U_2 = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qq}{r_2^2}$

So, the change in the potential energy is

$\Delta U = U_2 - U_1 = \frac{Qq}{4\pi\epsilon_0}(\frac{1}{r_2^2}-\frac{1}{r_1^2})$

Which of the following cars have the most kinetic energy

faltersainse [42]

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

$\huge\boxed{OptionA}$

mass = 4 kg

velocity = 5 m/s^2

<h3 /><h3>Orange truck:</h3>

Mass= 2kg

Velocity = 7m/s^2

mass = 6 kg

velocity = 4m/s^2

<h3 /><h3>Green Car:</h3>

Mass = 8 kg

Velocity = 3 m/s^2

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>SOLUTION:</h2>

By the equation of kinetic energy,

K.E = $\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Where,

K.E is kinetic energy

m is mass

v is velocity

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>Kinetic energy of Blue car:</h3>

Directly substitute the variables in the equation,

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}x4x5^2$

Simplify the equation,

K.E = 50 J

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>Kinetic Energy of Silver Car:</h3>

Directly substitude the variable in the equation,

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}x6x4^2$

Simplify the equation,

K.E = 48J

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>Kinetic Energy of Green Car:</h3><h3 />

Substitute the variables in the equation,

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}x8x3^2$

Simplify the Equation,

K.E = 36J

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>Kinetic Energy of Orange Truck:</h3><h3 />

Substitute the variable,

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}x 2x7^2$

Simplify the equation,

K.E = 49J

As you can see that the highest value of kinetic energy is of Blue SUV thus it will be out answer.
