<span>A mechanical wave is created when a source of energy causes a vibration to travel through a medium

And yeah lol
A mechanical wave is a disturbance in matter that carries energy from one place to another :)

This what you needed? </span>

Yolanda is studying two waves. The first wave has an amplitude of 2 m, and the second has an amplitude of 3 m. Which statement a

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

a) Not Accurate

b) Not Accurate

c) Accurate

d) Accurate

Explanation:

Part a

Not Accurate, because destructive interference would lead to maximum possible magnitude of < 3 m

Part b

Not Accurate, because constructive interference would lead to minimum possible magnitude of > 2 m

Part c

Accurate, because destructive interference would lead to maximum possible magnitude of < 3 m by varying the phase difference between two waves she can achieve the desired results.

Part d

Accurate, because constructive interference would lead to minimum possible magnitude of > 2 m by varying the phase difference between two waves she can achieve the desired results.

Bob is pulling a 30 kg filing cabinet with a force of 200 N , but the filing cabinet refuses to move. The coefficient of static

Arada [10]

Answer:

<em>Magnitude of the Frictional force is 200 N</em>

Explanation:

The frictional force is the force that tries to oppose relative motion between two surfaces that are contacting. The coefficient of static friction is the coefficient of friction of a body that is not moving.

Newton's third law of motion states that action and reaction forces are equal and opposite. So the frictional force felt on the filing cabinet will be equal to the applied force pulling the cabinet.

Frictional force = Force applied

Force applied = 200 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the friction force on the filing cabinet is 200 N

The water level in a tank is 20 m above the ground. a hose is connected to the bottom of the tank, and the nozzle at the end of

Damm [24]

Answer:

P_(pump) = 98,000 Pa

Explanation:

We are given;

h2 = 30m

h1 = 20m

Density; ρ = 1000 kg/m³

First of all, we know that the sum of the pressures in the tank and the pump is equal to that of the Nozzle,

Thus, it can be expressed as;

P_(tank)+ P_(pump) = P_(nozzle)

Now, the pressure would be given by;

P = ρgh

So,

ρgh_1 + P_(pump) = ρgh_2

Thus,

P_(pump) = ρg(h_2 - h_1)

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

P_(pump) = 1000•9.8(30 - 20)

P_(pump) = 98,000 Pa

Carlos is making phosphorous trichloride using the equation below. He adds 15 g of phosphorus.

Degger [83]

Given:

The balanced chemical reaction of the synthesis of phosphorus trichloride:

2P + 3Cl2 ===> 2PCl3

Initial amount of phosphorus = 15 grams

The amount of product produced from 15 grams of phosphorus:

15 grams / 31 g/mol * (2/2) = 66.46 grams PCl3

The amount of chlorine is 44.31 grams, nearest to 45 grams.
