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

1 answer:

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.

Lelu [443]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

He is correct but what he does not tell is that you will be drown. Your life preserver will submerge and displace more water than those of your friends who float at the surface. Although buoyant force on you will be greater , the net downward force on you will still be greater. Hence you will be drown inside the water.

Analyze how friction can be both a positive and negative aspect on our lives

denpristay [2]

Positive - Friction allows us to create heat in a desperate situation, like being lost in the woods. If we didn't have friction, we would probably freeze to death.
Negative - Friction can also cause unwanted fires, such as forest fires. If friction didn't exist, we wouldn't have these.

Q.Solve the following circuit find total resistance RT. Also find value of voltage across resister RC.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

R_total = 14.57 Ω , V_C = 1.176 V

Explanation:

To solve this circuit we are going to find the equivalent resistance of each branch, let's remember

* Serial resistance

$R_{eq}$ = ∑ $R_{i}$

* For resistance in parallel

1 / R_{eq} = ∑ 1/R_{i}

We solve the two branches of the wheatstone bridge

Series resistors

Branch B

R_B = Rb + R4

R_B = 2 + 18

R_B = 20 Ω

Branch C

R_C5 = Rc + R5

R_C5 = 3 + 12

R_C5 = 15 Ω

Resistance in parallel R_B and R_C5

1 / R_BC = 1 / R_B + 1 / R_C5

1 / R_BC = 1/20 + 1/15 = 0.116666

R_BC = 8.57 Ω

Now we have a single branch, we solve the series resistance

R_total = R_A + R_BC

R_total = 6 + 8.57

R_total = 14.57 Ω

b) they ask us for the voltage in the resistance R_C

Let's remember that the voltage in a series circuit is the sum of the voltages

10 = V_a + V_BC

10 = i R_a + i R_BC = i (R_a + R_BC)

i = 10 / (R_a + R_BC)

i = 10 / (14.57)

i = 0.6863 A

The current in the series circuit is constant

V_BC = i R_BC

V_BC = 0.6863 8.57

V_BC = 5.8819 V

This voltage is divided in the bridge, for the two branches in parallel it is the same, but the resistance is different in each branch.

Branch C

V_BC = i R_C5

i = V_BC / R_C5

i = 5.8819 / 15

i = 0.39213 A

In this branch we have two resistors in series, let's remember that the current in a series circuit is constant

V_C = i R_C

V_C = 0.39213 3

V_C = 1.176 V

In April 1974, Steve Prefontaine completed a 10 km race in a time of 27 min, 43.6 s. Suppose "Pre" was at the 8.13 km mark at a

SOVA2 [1]

Answer: $0.084 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

Total time=27 min 43.6 s=1663.6 s

total distance=10 km

Initial distance $d_1=8.13 km$

time taken=25 min =1500 s

initial speed $v_1=\frac{8.13\times 1000}{25\times 60}=5.6 m/s$

after 8.13 km mark steve started to accelerate

speed after 60 s

$v_2=v_1+at$

$v_2=5.6+a\times 60$

distance traveled in 60 sec

$d_2=v_1\times 60+\frac{a60^2}{2}$

$d_2=336+1800 a$

time taken in last part of journey

$t_3=1663.6-1560=103.6 s$

distance traveled in this time

$d_3=v_2\times t_3$

$d_3=\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6$

and total distance $=d_1+d_2+d_3$

$10000=8.13\times 1000+336+1800 a+\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6$

$1870=336+1800 a+\left ( 5.6+a\times 60\right )103.6$

$a=0.084 m/s^2$
