What causes a wave to begin

1 answer:

5 0

Wind or gravitational pull. A wave is made by friction between wind and the water’s surface. Waves can also be made by the sun and moon’s gravitational pull on the earth.

Why do objects that are thrown or shot follow a curved path

LenaWriter [7]

The initial force of the throw overcomes gravity quite easily. Then, gravity begins to bring it back down to earth, making a curved path.

the specific heat of gold is 0.031 calories degrees Celsius and the specific heat of silver is 0.057 calories degrees Celsius so

givi [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Specific heat of gold = 0.031cal/°C

Specific heat of silver = 0.057cal/°C

To know the metals that will heat up faster, we must understand the meaning of specific heat capacity.

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1°C.

Now,

The higher the specific heat capacity the more energy it is required to heat up the substance.

So, Gold with a specific heat capacity of 0.031cal/°C will heat up faster.

Two identical satellites orbit the earth in stable orbits. One satellite orbits with a speed v at a distance r from the center o

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

c)At a distance greater than r

Explanation:

For a satellite in orbit around the Earth, the gravitational force provides the centripetal force that keeps the satellite in motion:

$G\frac{Mm}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the satellite's mass

r is the distance between the satellite and the Earth's centre

v is the speed of the satellite

Re-arranging the equation, we write

$r = \frac{GM}{v^2}$

so we see from the equation that when the speed is higher, the distance from the Earth's centre is smaller, and when the speed is lower, the distance from the Earth's centre is larger.

Here, the second satellite orbit the Earth at a speed less than v: this means that its orbit will have a larger radius than the first satellite, so the correct answer is

c)At a distance greater than r

Briefly explain the two postulates of relativity, how they differed from classical physics, and why Einstein was led to propose

Ray Of Light [21]

Explanation:

The two postulates of special theory of relativity

Postulate 1: The law of physics are invariant under any of inertial frame of reference.

Postulate 2: The velocity of light is remains same in each ans every frame of reference and independent of relativity.

They are differ from classical mechanics that in classical mechanics there is no change in mass and length in relative velocity but in relativistic mechanics it changes.

These two postulates implements in phenomenon like time dilation , length contraction etc.

A sealed box contains a monatomic ideal gas. The number of gas atoms per unit volume is 5.00 * 1020 atoms>cm3, and the averag

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Pressure,P=6×10^3Pa

Explanation:

The gas has an ideal gas behaviour and ideal gas equation

PV=NKT

T= V/N p/K ...eq1

Average transitional kinetic energy Ktr=1.8×10-23J

Ktr=3/2KT

T=2/3Ktr/K....eq2

Equating eq1 and 2

V/N p/K = 2/3Ktr/K

Cancelling K on both sides

P= 2/3N/V( Ktr)

Substituting the value of N/V and dividing by 10^-6 to convert cm^3 to m^3

P = 2/3 (5.0×10^20)/10^-6 × 1.8×10^-23

P= 6 ×10^3Pa
