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 ball is rolled of a 2.14m table at 8m/s. Find the time of flight for the ball and the horizontal range
Mama L [17]

Answer:

0.661 s, 5.29 m

Explanation:

In the y direction:

Δy = 2.14 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(2.14 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 0.661 s

In the x direction:

v₀ = 8 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

t = 0.661 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (8 m/s) (0.661 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (0.661 s)²

Δx = 5.29 m

Round as needed.

The planet Mars has much less gravitational force that Earth. What would happen if you went to Mars?
vovangra [49]

gravitational force of planet exerted on its object near the surface is known as weight

so here we know that gravitational force of mars is much less than the gravitational force of Earth

So on the surface of mars the Weight of objects must be much less than the weight of object on surface of Earth

so here correct answer must be

<em>D. Your weight would decrease.</em>
