Physics

NARA [144]3 years ago

Answer: B (Longitudinal waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases, Transverse waves only travel through  solids)

Explanation: A longitudinal wave alternately compresses the medium and stretches it out. Solids, liquids and gasses all push back when they are compressed— so they are all able to store energy this way and thus transmit the wave. But, Transverse waves can only go through solids because they have enough shear strength, but liquids and gases don't. ( Transverse waves are the transfer of energy in a motion that is perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling. Only solids are able to switch it's motion to travel through the wave.)

Why collaboration in science is critical to success in the scientific community
Marianna [84]
Collaboration in science is important because if only one scientist does an experiment, and gets a result, he/she could have messed. So this is where collaboration comes in. A few other scientists could try the experiment, and if they get the same answers, the result may be proven correct.

A physics professor is pushed up a ramp inclined upward at 30.0° above the horizontal as she sits in her desk chair, which slide
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

V = 3.17 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the professor m = 85.0 kg

Angle of the ramp θ = 30.0°

Length travelled L = 2.50 m

Force applied F = 600 N

Initial Speed  u = 2.00 m/s

Solution

Work = Change in kinetic energy

F_{net}d = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} - \frac{1}{2}mu^{2}\\\frac{2F_{net}d }{m} = v^{2} -u^{2}\\ v^{2} =\frac{2F_{net}d }{m} +u^{2}\\ v^{2} =\frac{2(600cos30 - 85\times 9.8 \times sin30) \times 2.5 }{85} +2.00^{2}\\ v^{2} = 10.066\\v = 3..17m/s

In a series circuit what effect will adding more resistors to the circuit have
zhuklara [117]

Answer:In a series circuit, adding more resistors increases total resistance and thus lowers current. But the opposite is true in a parallel circuit because adding more resistors in parallel creates more choices and lowers total resistance. If the same battery is connected to the resistors, current will increase.

Which is not a source of electrical energy in the United States
xenn [34]

Every practical source of energy that you can imagine, as well as a few impractical ones, are used somewhere in the USA.

From whale oil in Alaska, to nuclear energy, to coal, petroleum, natural gas, solar energy, wind energy, and biomass.

Oh ! Geothermal energy and tidal energy aren't too popular, but I'll bet if you looked, you'd find these used too, SOMEwhere in the 50 states.
