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?

A 74 kg firefighter slides, from rest, 4.9 m down a vertical pole. (a) If the firefighter holds onto the pole lightly, so that t

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Her speed is 9.8 meter per second

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that acceleration (a) is related with force (F) by:

$\sum\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a}$ (1)

Here the only force acting on the firefighter is the weight F=mg so (1) is:

$mg=ma$

Solving for a:

$a=g$

Now with the acceleration we can use the Galileo's kinematic equation:

$Vf^{2}=Vo^{2}+2a\varDelta x$ (2)

With Vf the final velocity, Vo the initial velocity and Δx the displacement, because the firefighter stars from rest Vo=0 so (2) is:

$Vf^{2}=2a\varDelta x$

Solving for Vf

$Vf=\sqrt{2g\varDelta x}=\sqrt{2(9.81)(4.9)}$

$Vf=9.8\frac{m}{s}$

At what speed, as a fraction of c , is a particle's total energy twice its rest energy

WINSTONCH [101]

The rest energy of a particle is
$E_0=m_0 c^2$
where $m_0$ is the rest mass of the particle and c is the speed of light.

The total energy of a relativistic particle is
$E=mc^2 = \frac{m_0 c^2}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }$
where v is the speed of the particle.

We want the total energy of the particle to be twice its rest energy, so that
$E=2E_0$
which means:
$\frac{m_0c^2}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }=2m_0 c^2$
$\frac{1}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }=2$
From which we find the ratio between the speed of the particle v and the speed of light c:
$\frac{v}{c}= \sqrt{1- (\frac{1}{2})^2 } =0.87$
So, the particle should travel at 0.87c in order to have its total energy equal to twice its rest energy.

Two trains A and B of length 400 m each are moving on two parallel tracks with

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The initial distance between the trains is 1450 m. 

Explanation:

In the question two trains are of equal length 400 m and moves at a uniform speed of 72 km/h. train A is moving ahead of train B. If the train B has to overtake train A it should accelerate.

Train B’s acceleration is $1m/s^2$ and it accelerated for 50 seconds.

 $a=1 m/s^2$ 

t=50 s 

initial speed u=72km/h 

we have to convert this speed into m/s 

 $u=72 \times 5/18=20 m/s$ 

Distance covered in accelerating phase $S=ut+1/2 at^2$ 

 $=20 \times 50+1/2 \times 1 \times 50^2$ 

 $=1000+1250=2250 m$ 

If a train is just behind another, the distance covered by the train located behind during overtaking phase will be equal to the sum of the lengths of the trains.

Here length of train A+length of train $B=400+400=800 m$ 

Hence the initial distance between the trains = $2250-800=1450 m$

Is the state of the air in an isolated room completely specified by the temperature and the pressure? Explain

anyanavicka [17]

I think these two variables are sufficient to completely specify the state.

In an isolated room with air only ,the volume is fixed.Mass ,density and its specific volume can be easily known.

Other thermodynamic properties like entropy, enthalpy etc are also fixed at a given temperature & pressure.
