Sound waves, water waves, and light waves are all alike in that they all

Paha777 [63]3 years ago

Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract


Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.

Does displacement must be straight and must include direction
Solnce55 [7]
Displacement is the total space between point a and b. For example, If I walk 3 times North, 6 times East, and 7 times North, what is the displacement? The answer is 10 because when I walked East there was on object blocking my way.

How does the uneaven heating of earths surface affects earths weather patterns
Cloud [144]

Answer: it causes some parts of the earth to get more radiation than others.

Explanation: earth rotates around the sun on a tilted axis so the Rays of the sun cause earth to have more radiation than it needs.

Mila [183]

Answer:

a)  w = 2.52 10⁷ rad / s, b)  K / K₀ = 1.19 10⁴

Explanation:

a) We can solve this exercise using the conservation of angular momentum.

Initial instant. Before collapse

         L₀ = I₀ w₀

Final moment. After the collapse

         L_f = I w

angular momentum is conserved

        L₀ = L_f

         I₀ w₀ = I w                 (1)

         

The moment of inertia of a sphere is

        I = 2/5 m r²

we take from the table the mass and diameter of the star

        m = 1,991 10³⁰ kg

        r₀ = 6.96 10⁸ m

        r = 6.37 10⁶ m

to find the angular velocity let's use

       w = L / T

where the length of a circle is

      L = 2π r

      T = 24 days (24 h / 1 day) (3600 s / 1h) = 2.0710⁶ s

we substitute

      w = 2π r / T

      wo = 2π 6.96 10⁸ / 2.07 10⁶

      wo = 2.1126 10³ rad / s

we substitute in equation 1

      w = \frac{I_o}{I}

      w = 2/5 mr₀² / 2/5 m r² w₀

      w = (\frac{r_o}{r}) ² wo

      w = (6.96 10⁸ / 6.37 10⁶) ² 2.1126 10³

      w = 2.52 10⁷ rad / s

b) the kinetic energy ratio

      K = ½ m w²

       K₀ = ½ m w₀²

       K = ½ m w²

       K / K₀ = (w / wo) ²

       K / K₀ = 2.52 10⁷ / 2.1126 10³

       K / K₀ = 1.19 10⁴
