What is the movement of alternating compressions and rarefactions?

Physics
1 answer:
skad [1K]3 years ago
8 0

Alternating compressions and rarefactions produce a wave. One compression and one rarefaction is called a wavelength.

Compression happens when molecules are forced, or pressed, together. Rarefaction occurs when molecules are given extra space and allowed to expand.

How long does it take a car traveling at 45km/h to travel 100.0 m?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

8 seconds

Explanation:

Since the carspeed is in km/h, we need equal units, so we will make 100.0m 0.1000km.

Then we need to find how long it takes the car to travel 0.1km

We can use the formula distance=speed * time and get

0.1=45 * time

Therefore we get .002222... hours

Multiplying this by 3600 (to get seconds, 60x60), we get 8 seconds

A concave mirror with a radius of curvature of 20 cm has a focal length of
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

A concave mirror has a radius of curvature of 20 cm. What is it's focal length? If an object is placed 15 cm in front of it, where would the image be formed? What is it's magnification?

The focal length is of 10 cm, object distance is 30 cm and magnification is -2.

Explanation:

Given:

A concave mirror:

Radius of curvature of the mirror, as C = 20 cm

Object distance in-front of the mirror = 15 cm

a.

Focal length:

Focal length is half of the radius of curvature.

Focal length of the mirror =  \frac{C}{2} = 10 cm

According to the sign convention we will put the mirror on (0,0) point, of the Cartesian coordinate open towards the negative x-axis.

Object and the focal length are also on the negative x-axis where focal length and image distance will be negative numerically.

b.

We have to find the object distance:

Formula to be use:

⇒ \frac{1}{focal\ length}= \frac{1}{image\ distance} + \frac{1}{object\ distance}

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ \frac{1}{-10} =\frac{1}{image\ distance}+\frac{1}{-15}

⇒ \frac{1}{-10} -\frac{1}{-15}=\frac{1}{image\ distance}

⇒ \frac{1}{-10} + \frac{1}{15}=\frac{1}{image\ distance}

⇒ \frac{-3+2}{30} =\frac{1}{image\ distance}

⇒ \frac{-1}{30} =\frac{1}{image\ distance}

⇒ -30\ cm=image\ distance

Image will be formed towards negative x-axis 30 cm away from the pole.

c.

Magnification (m) is the negative ratio of mage distance and object distance:

⇒ m=-\frac{image\ distance}{object\ distance}

⇒ m=-\frac{(-30)}{(-15)}

⇒ m=-2

The focal length of the concave mirror, is of 10 cm, object distance is 30 cm and magnification is -2.

Q2.
zzz [600]

Answer:

800W

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Voltage = 230 V

Model = VSO Ha

Power = 800 W

Power is calculated by the multiplication of voltage and current flowing through an electric circuit.

Mathematically, power is given by the formula;

Power = current * voltage

The S.I unit for power is Watts and it is a measure of the energy consumption of an electronic device.

Which scientist contributed to disproving spontaneous generation?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

A. John Tyndall

Explanation:

In 1887, John Tyndall confirmed the theory of <u>biogenesis</u>, formulated by Luis Pasteur in 1864, applying sterilization by <u>discontinuous heating</u>, a process that is currently known as tyndalization. Evidence of the existence of resting microbacterial forms, very resistant to heat.

Thanks to this demonstration he is recognized as the <em>father of microbiology</em> with Pasteur. The theory brought down the previous idea of ​​the Spontaneous Generation, which remained in force since 1745.

Identify a mechanical wave that is also a longitudinal wave
nexus9112 [7]
Mechanical waves, it needs a certain medium to travel through. This medium can be a solid, liquid and gas. There are three types of mechanical waves namely, sound wave, water, and waves through the ropes.

A longitudinal wave is a wave that vibrates in a parallel direction with the motion. Also known as a compression wave. Both mechanical and longitudinal waves produce a sound.
