Answer: The correct answer is mechanical wave.

Explanation:

A shock wave is produced during an earthquake. A shock wave is an area of of very high pressure created when an object travels faster than the speed of the sound. Shock waves are mechanical wave. It requires a medium to travel.

An electromagnetic wave does not require an medium to travel. A gamma ray and a radio wave are electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves are transverse wave.

Therefore, a scientist is studying a shock wave from an earthquake. The shock wave is a kind of a mechanical wave.

<span>So we want to know what kind of wave is the scientist is studying while studying earthquakes. Waves that produce earthquakes are mechanical waves. Gamma rays and radiowaves are both electromagnetic waves and don't require a medium but mechanical do. So the correct answer is mechanical waves.</span>

I have a picture of the question I need help with,
eduard

Given:

The initial velocity of the object, v=30 m/s

a_t=0

a_c≠0

The time period is Δt.

To find:

The right conclusion among the given choices.

Explanation:

a_t represents the tangential accleration on the object and a_c represents the centripetal acceleration on the object.

The centripetal acceleration is the acceleration that keeps the object in its circular path. The centripetal force only changes the direction of the velocity and not the magnitude.

Thus the magnitude of the velocity of the object remains the same after a time interval of Δt. But the direction of the velocity of the object will be changed and will be unknown after Δt seconds.

Final answer:

Thus the object will be traveling at 30 m/s in some unknown direction.

Therefore, the correct answer is option a.

A transformer consists of a 500 turn primary coil and a 2000-turnsecondary coil. If the current in the secondary is 3.0A, what i
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The correct solution will be "12.0 A".

Explanation:

The given values are:

N_p= 500 \ turn

N_s= 200 \ turn

I_s= 3.0 \ A

By using the transformer formula, we get

⇒ \frac{N_p}{N_s}  =\frac{I_s}{I_p}

⇒ I_p = I_s\times \frac{N_s}{N_p}

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒      =3.0 \ A\times \frac{2000}{500}

⇒      =12.0 \ A

An object with a mass of 2.0 kg is accelerated at 5.0 m/s/s. the net force acting on the mass is
Vitek1552 [10]
First we need to know the equation:
F= Mass times acceleration
F = 2.0 kg times 5.0 m/s^2 
multiply them to get the net force!
F= 10 N 
N is newton

What is the intensity of a sound with a sound intensity level (SIL) 67 dB, in units of W/m^2?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The intensity of sound (I) = 3.16 x 10⁻⁶ W/m²

Explanation:

We have expression for sound intensity level (SIL),

              L=10log_{10}\left ( \frac{I}{I_0}\right )

Here we need to find the intensity of sound (I).

               L=10log_{10}\left ( \frac{I}{I_0}\right )\\\\log_{10}\left ( \frac{I}{I_0}\right )=0.1L\\\\\frac{I}{I_0}=10^{0.1L}\\\\I=I_010^{0.1L}

Substituting

          L = 67 dB and I₀ = 10⁻¹² W/m² in the equation

          I=I_010^{0.1L}=10^{-12}\times 10^{0.1\times 65}\\\\I_0=10^{-12}\times 10^{6.5}=10^{-5.5}=3.16\times 10^{-6}W/m^2

The intensity of sound (I) = 3.16 x 10⁻⁶ W/m²
