Transverse, surface, and longitudinal waves are all __________ waves because they __________.

Physics
1 answer:
algol [13]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a. mechanical; require a medium to travel through

Explanation:

Longitudinal, transverse and surface waves are types of mechanical waves. For example, within the longitudinal waves are the sound waves, which needs a medium to propagate like the air. This is why sound does not travel in a vacuum.

And an example of a transverse wave is the waves that form in the water when a rock is thrown (ripples), these waves need a medium (the water) to propagate.

On the other hand, electromagnetic waves such as light waves do not need a medium to propagate, this is why we can see the light of distant stars because their light travels through the vacuum until it reaches us.

So, the answer is:

Transverse, surface, and longitudinal waves are all mechanical waves because they require a medium to travel through .

When a solid is in the process of changing into a liquid and extra energy is added to the system, the temperature does not chang
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

D. The temperature does not change during a phase change because the average kinetic energy does not change. Therefore, the potential energy in the bonds between molecules must change.

Explanation:

When there is a change of state (for example, from solid into a liquid, as in this example), when energy is added to the system, the temperature of the substance does not change.

The reason for this is that the energy supplied is no longer used to increase the average kinetic energy of the particle, but instead it is used to break the bonds between the different particles/molecules. For instance, since in this case the substance is changing from solid to liquid, all the energy supplied during the phase change is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the solid: when the process is done, all the molecules will be free to slide past each other, and the substance has turned completely into a liquid.

The bonds between molecules store potential energy: therefore, this means that the energy supplied during the phase change is not used to change the kinetic energy, but to change the potential energy in the bonds between the molecules.

A crow is flying horizontally with a constant speed of 2.70 m/s when it releases a clam from its beak. the clam lands on the roc
vovangra [49]

Part a)

in horizontal direction there is no gravity or no other acceleration

so in horizontal direction the speed of clam will remain same

v_x = 2.70 m/s

Part b)

In vertical direction we can use kinematics

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 0 + 2.1 * 9.8

v_f = 20.6 m/s

part c)

if the speed of crow will be increased then the horizontal speed of the clam will also increase but there is no change in the vertical speed

just olya [345]

Answer:

9.73 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle

Uncertainty in position x uncertainty in momentum ≥ h / 4π

Δ X x Δp ≥ h / 4π

Δp = mΔV

ΔV = Uncertainty in velocity

= 2 x 10⁻⁶ x 3 / 100

= 6 x 10⁻⁸

mass m = 0.9 x 10⁻¹⁵ x 10⁻³ kg

m = 9 x 10⁻¹⁹

Δp = mΔV

= 9 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 6 x 10⁻⁸

= 54 x 10⁻²⁷

Δ X x Δp ≥ h / 4π

Δ X x  54 x 10⁻²⁷ ≥ h / 4π

Δ X = h / 4π x 1 /  54 x 10⁻²⁷

= \frac{6.6\times10^{-34}}{4\times3.14\times54\times10^{-27}}

= 9.73 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

The (blank) is something that should be tested according to the comfort level of the golfer. a. GRIP b. PUTTING GREEN c. SAND TR
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:  <em> a). Grip</em>

The grip is the important thing to be consider for golfer. It is the most fundamental important aspects to the game, because it provides the solid contact.

Applying the correct grip, results in better golf shots and an increased confidence to the golfer, to address the ball in the right direction.

Simply the grip is the pressure applied to the club with the hand such that the golfer feels comfortable to make a brilliant shot.
