What is meant by Compression and Rarefaction of a longitudinal wave?

Physics
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]3 years ago
6 0
However instead of crests and troughs, longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions. Compression. A compression is a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together. Rarefaction. A rarefaction is a region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are furthest apart.

4. A steel cable spanning a river is 220.000 m long when the temperature is 30.°C.
romanna [79]

Answer:

219.9208  m

Explanation:

The new length is given by

New length= Original length *(1-Temperature change*coefficient of

thermal expansion of steel)

Here, the change in temperature is 30^{\circ}-0^{\circ}= 30^{\circ}

New length= 220.000(1-30*12x10^{-6}=219.9208m

Therefore, the new length will be 219.9208 m

A ball that has a mass of 0.25 kg spins in a circle at the end of a 1.6 m rope. the ball moves at a tangential speed of 12.2 m/s
NARA [144]

The centripetal force acting on the ball will be 23.26 N.The direction of the centripetal force is always in the path of the center of the course.

<h3>What is centripetal force?</h3>

The force needed to move a body in a curved way is understood as centripetal force. This is a force that can be sensed from both the fixed frame and the spinning body's frame of concern.

The given data in the problem is;

m is the mass of A ball = 0.25 kg

r is the radius of circle= 1.6 m rope

v is the tangential speed = 12.2 m/s

\rm F_C is the centripetal force acting on the ball

The centripetal force is found as;

\rm F_C = \frac{mv^2}{r}  \\\\ F_C = \frac{0.25 \times (12.2)^2}{1.6}  \\\\ F_C=23.26\ N

Hence the centripetal force acting on the ball will be 23.26 N.

In this lab you will use a cart and track to explore various aspects of motion. You will measure and record the time it takes th
Keith_Richards [23]

It is given that by using track and cart we can record the time and the distance travelled and also the speed of the cart can be recorded. With all this data we can solve questions on the laws of motion.  

Like using the first law of motion we can determine the force of gravity acting on the cart that has moved a certain distance and the velocity or the speed of card has already been registered and since time is known putting the values in formula would help us calculate the gravitational pull acting on cart.
