Explanation:
Wave is defined as a disturbance or oscillation that travels through space-time, accompanied by a transfer of energy. Wave motion transfers energy from one point to another, often with no permanent displacement of the particles of the medium.
The velocity of wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency (number of vibrations per second). Longitudinal waves like sound waves travel through a medium.
Therefore, a wave move from a layer of high velocity to that of a lower velocity the wavelength changes (that is, decreases) as it moves.
Answer:
0.2 m/s
Explanation:
given,
mass of astronaut, M = 85 Kg
mass of hammer, m = 1 Kg
velocity of hammer , v =17 m/s
speed of astronaut, v' = ?
initial speed of the astronaut and the hammer be equal to zero = ?
Using conservation of momentum
(M + m) V = M v' + m v
(M + m) x 0 = 85 x v' + 1 x 17
85 v' = -17
v' = -0.2 m/s
negative sign represent the astronaut is moving in opposite direction of hammer.
Hence, the speed of the astronaut is equal to 0.2 m/s
Answer:
A book on a table before it falls.
A yoyo before it is released.
A raised weight.
Explanation:
These are all examples of potential energy. So I hope you can find something that is comparable from the lab.
Answer:
<em>a) increases</em>
Explanation:
Almost all substance or material undergoes expansion due to heating. Heat gives thermal energy to the molecules of a substance increasing their body temperature. The temperature of a substance is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of that substance. When the temperature of a substance increases, the molecules begin to agitate and try to move far from each other, leading to either a linear, area, or cubic expansion, or all three of them. Metals like copper expand very well on heating, and their expansion is relatively minute, but very observable. When the face of such a copper is scratched to give and angle, heating the copper uniformly will cause the copper to expand, leading to an increase in the angle formed.
