Sound is a mechanical wave; therefore, it __________.

Physics
2 answers:
avanturin [10]3 years ago
8 0
A mechanical wave such as sound needs a medium to travel through. This is why they say that in space, no one can hear you scream (because space is a vacuum and no medium exists). On the contrary, light can exist in wave or particle form. This is why we have the ability to see beyond the realms of the Earth.

Answer:

The answer is A. Must travel trought a medium.

Explanation:

The transmission of sound depends on the existence of a material medium (solid, liquid, air particles) where the vibration of the molecules are perceived as a sound wave, which are converted into mechanical waves in the human ear, to be later perceived by the brain.

When a battery, a resistor, a switch, and an inductor form a circuit and the switch is closed, the inductor acts to oppose the c
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:Time constant gets doubled

Explanation:

Given

L-R circuit is given and suppose R and L is the resistance and inductance of the circuit then current is given by

i=i_0\left [ 1-e^{-\frac{t}{\tau }}\right ]

where i_0 is maximum current

i=current at any time

\tau =\frac{L}{R}=time\ constant

\tau '=\frac{2L}{R}=2\tau

thus if inductance is doubled then time constant also gets doubled or twice to its original value.

Q. At what point in a waterfall do the drops of water contain the most kinetic energy ?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

2.When they reach the bottom of the fall

Explanation:

The potential energy of the waterfall is maximum at the maximum height and decreases with decrease in height. Based on the law of conservation of mechanical energy, as the potential energy of the water fall is decreasing with  decrease in height of the fall, its kinetic energy will be increasing and the kinetic energy will be maximum at zero height (bottom of the fall).

Thus, the correct option is "2" When they reach the bottom of the fall

The moment of inertia of a thin uniform rod of mass M and length L about an Axis perpendicular to the rod through its Centre is
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

I = I₀ + M(L/2)²

Explanation:

Given that the moment of inertia of a thin uniform rod of mass M and length L about an Axis perpendicular to the rod through its Centre is I₀.

The parallel axis theorem for moment of inertia states that the moment of inertia of a body about an axis passing through the centre of mass is equal to the sum of the moment of inertia of the body about an axis passing through the centre of mass and the product of mass and the square of the distance between the two axes.

The moment of inertia of the body about an axis passing through the centre of mass is given to be I₀

The distance between the two axes is L/2 (total length of the rod divided by 2

From the parallel axis theorem we have

I = I₀ + M(L/2)²
