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.

What will the stopping distance be for a 2,000-kg car if -2,000 N of force are applied when the car is traveling 20 m/s?
astraxan [27]

Answer is B- 200 m

Given:

m (mass of the car) = 2000 Kg

F = -2000 N

u(initial velocity)= 20 m/s.

v(final velocity)= 0.

Now we know that

<u>F= ma</u>

Where F is the force exerted on the object

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration of the object

Substituting the given values

-2000 = 2000 × a

a = -1 m/s∧2

Consider the equation

<u>v=u +at</u>

where v is the initial velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

0= 20 -t

t=20 secs


s = ut +1/2(at∧2)

where s is the displacement of the object

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

s= 20 ×20 +(-1×20×20)/2

<u>s= 200 m</u>

If a reaction starts with 30 grams how many should it end with ?
zysi [14]

30grams

Explanation:

If a reaction starts with 30grams then the reaction should end with 30grams.

This in conformity with the law of conservation of mass.

  • The law states that "in an isolated system, mass is neither created nor destroyed during chemical transformation".
  • Mass is the quantity of matter contained in a substance.
  • In chemical reactions, the mass of reactants must always be the same with the mass of the product baring any loss.
  • In an isolated system, there is no exchange of energy and mass.
  • Chemical systems are usually treated as isolated systems in which mass is conserved.

Which accident will be more damaging, collision between two trucks
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

collision between truck

Explanation:

Answer. Collision between trucks, because more is the mass, more is the inertia and therefore more is the momentum. Mass of the trucks is more than that of cars so collision of trucks will cause more damage.
