How are humans able to perceive light waves? Sound waves?

Physics
1 answer:
Vesna [10]3 years ago
7 0
Sound and light are similar in that both are forms of energy that travel in waves. They both have properties of wavelength, freqency and amplitude. ... Sound is a form of mechanical energy caused by vibrations of matter. Light is electromagnetic energy caused by interacting electric and magnetic fields.

Along some shorelines, incoming waves cause the water to simply rise and fall rather that form a surf zone. What does this tell
NARA [144]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Along some shorelines, incoming waves cause the water to simply rise and fall and not form surfs because of the steepness of the shorelines. Long period waves wont form surfs at steep shores because of the breaking and unstability of waves. Wave breaks at the shallow waters. The breaking of the waves depends upon H/L ratio.

How are the concepts of impulse and momentum related?
butalik [34]

Answer:

The impulse experienced by the object equals the change in momentum of the object. In equation form, F • t = m • Δ v. In a collision, objects experience an impulse; the impulse causes and is equal to the change in momentum. ... The collision would change the halfback's speed and thus his momentum.

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The shortest braking distance is 35.8 m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law applied to the boxes, on the vertical axis we have the norm up and the weight vertically down

On the horizontal axis we fear the force of friction (fr) that opposes the movement and acceleration of the train, write the equation for each axis

    Y axis

     N- W = 0

     N = W = mg

  X axis

     -Fr = m a

     -μ N = m a

     -μ mg = ma

     a = μ g

     a  = - 0.32 9.8

     a =  - 3.14 m/s²

We calculate the distance using the kinematics equations

    Vf² = Vo² + 2 a x

     x = (Vf² - Vo²) / 2 a

When the train stops the speed is zero (Vf = 0)

 Vo = 54 km/h (1000m/1km) (1 h/3600s)= 15 m/s

     x = ( 0 - 15²) / 2 (-3.14)

     x=  35.8 m

The shortest braking distance is  35.8 m

Suppose an object in freefall is dropped from a building it’s starting velocity is 0m/s. Ignoring the facts of air resistance wh
Alja [10]

v = v₀ + at

v = final speed, v₀ = initial speed, a = acceleration, t = elapsed time

Given values:

v₀ = 0m/s (starts from rest), a = 9.81m/s², t = 3s

Plug in and solve for v:

v = 0 + 9.81(3)

v = 29.4m/s

What is the anomalous expansivity of water
salantis [7]

Answer:

The anomalous expansion of water is an abnormal property of water whereby it expands instead of contracting when the temperature goes from 4°C to 0°C, and it becomes less dense. The density becomes less and less as it freezes because molecules of water normally form open crystal structures when in solid form.
