A mechanical wave<span> is a </span>wave<span> that is an oscillation of </span>matter<span>, and therefore transfers energy through a </span>medium.[1]<span> While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the </span>medium of transmission<span>—the material—is limited. Therefore, oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position. Mechanical waves transport energy. This energy propagates in the same direction as the wave. Any kind of wave (mechanical or electromagnetic) has a certain energy. Mechanical waves can be produced only in media which possess elasticity and inertia.</span>

A car moving at some speed hits the brakes and skids to a stop after 13 m on a level road. If the coefficient of friction for th
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

12.974 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

\mu = Coefficient of friction =0.66

a = Acceleration = \mu g

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2\mu gs-v^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{v^2-2\mu gs}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{0^2-2\times -(9.81\times 0.66)\times 13}\\\Rightarrow u=12.974\ m/s

Car's original speed before braking was 12.974 m/s

Which statement is NOT true about voltage?
Tom [10]

The first two choices are both false, but the <em>second one</em> is the falser one.

All electricity sources do <em>not</em> have the same voltage. The outlet in your bedroom wall supplies 120 volts, but the USB port on your laptop only supplies 5 volts, and the battery in your cellphone only supplies 3.7 volts.

In order to transmit information via radio waves, the waves need to be changed somehow. For car radios this can happen in two wa
laila [671]

Answer: amplitude

Explanation: This describes the maximum amount of the displacement of a particle from it rest position. Usually, it is measured in metres

Since we are considering AM which is amplitude modulation, a technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for broadcasting information through a radio carrier wave. In amplitude modulation, the amplitude (signal strength) of the carrier wave is diversified in proportion to that of the message signal being broadcasted.
