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 .

During lightning strikes from a cloud to the ground, currents as high as 2.50×104 A can occur and last for about 40.0 μs . How m

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

<h3>The charge transferred from the cloud to earth is 1 Coulomb.</h3>

Explanation:

Given :

Current $I = 2.5 \times 10^{4}$ A

Time $t = 40 \times 10^{-6}$ sec

We know that the current is the rate of flow of charge.

From the formula of current,

Where $Q =$ charge transfer between cloud and earth.

$Q =I t$

$Q = 2.5 \times 10^{4} \times 40 \times 10^{-6}$

$Q = 1$ C

Hence, the charge transferred from the cloud to earth is 1 Coulomb.

A stone is dropped into a well. The sound of the splash is heard 6.25 s later. What is the depth of the well? (Take the speed of

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

depth of well is 163.30 m

Explanation:

Given data

speed of sound = 343 m/s

timer = 6.25 s

to find out

depth of well

solution

let us consider depth d

so equation will be

depth = 1/2 ×g ×t² ..............1

and

depth = velocity of sound × time .................2

here we have given time 6.25 that is sum of 2 time

when stone reach at bottom that time

another is sound reach us after stone strike on bottom

so time 1 + time 2 = 6.25 s

so from equation 1 and 2 we get

1/2 ×g ×t² = velocity of sound × time

1/2 ×9.8 × t1² = 343 × (6.25 - t1 )

t1 = 5.77376 sec

so height = 1/2 ×g ×t²

height = 1/2 ×9.8 × (5.773)²

height = 163.30 m

A block with mass m = 0.450 kg is attached to one end of an ideal spring and moves on a horizontal frictionless surface. The oth

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

k = 26.25 N/m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the block= 0.450

distance of the block = + 0.240

acceleration = a_x = -14.0 m/s²

velocity = v_x = + 4 m/s

spring force constant (k) = ?

we know,

x = A cos (ωt - ∅).....(1)

v = - ω A cos (ωt - ∅)....(2)

a = ω²A cos (ωt - ∅).........(3)

$\omega = \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}$

now from equation (3)

$a_x = \dfrac{k}{m}x$

$k = \dfrac{m a_x}{x}$

$k = \dfrac{0.45 \times (-14)}{0.24}$

k = 26.25 N/m

hence, spring force constant is equal to k = 26.25 N/m

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

f = 1 m

Explanation:

The magnification of the lens is given by the formula:

$M = \frac{q}{p}$

where,

M = Magnification = 4

q = image distance = 5 m

p = object distance = ?

Therefore,

$4 = \frac{5\ m}{p}\\\\p = \frac{5\ m}{4}\\\\p = 1.25\ m$

Now using thin lens formula:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}\\\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{1.25\ m}+\frac{1}{5\ m}\\\\\frac{1}{f} = 1\ m^{-1}\\\\$
