Mechanical waves travel slowest in which physical state?

Physics

lukranit [14]4 years ago

Answer: Mechanical wave travels slowest in gases.

Explanation:

Mechanical wave is a wave in which there is a oscillation of the matter. Therefore, there is a transfer of the energy through the medium.

The wave travels over long distances. Mechanical waves are of two types: Longitudinal wave and Transverse wave. Mechanical wave requires a medium to travel. It can travel in the solid, liquid and gases.

It travels fastest in solid and slowest in the gases due to the packaging of the molecules of the state. The molecules of the gases are not tightly packed so therefore it is hard for the particle to transfer energy.

Through gases as the bonds are tightly bound. Mechanical waves travel by vibrating through the medium so the more tight the bonds , the faster the waves.

PART ONE
Arte-miy333 [17]

Explanation:

Pressure = force / area

P = (68 kg × 9.8 m/s²) / (2 × (0.04 m)²)

P = 208,250 Pa

Converting to psi:

P = 208,250 N/m² × (0.225 lbf/N) × (0.0254 m/in)²

P = 30.2 psi

PHYSICS. <br> ……………………………………………….
belka [17]

Answer:

Work, W = F * d, and

Work = change in kinetic energy, so W=deltaKE.

Hence,

deltaKE=F * d

(1/2)*m*v^2 =F * d

d=[(1/2)*m*v^2]/F

d=[(1/2)*0.6*20^2]/5

d=24 m.

Explanation:

Work = change in kinetic energy, so W=deltaKE.

Assume that a friend hands you a 10-newton box to hold for her. If you hold the box without moving it at a height of 10 meters a
malfutka [58]

Answer:

100 Joules

Explanation:

Applying,

W = mgh................... Equation 1

Where W = workdone to hold the box above the ground, mg = weight of the box, h = height of the box.

From the question,

Given: mg = 10 newtons, h = 10 meters.

Substitute these values into equation 1

W = 10×10

W = 100 Joules.

Hence the amount of workdone is 100 Joules

A small metal sphere weighs .28 N in air and has a volume of13
Ray Of Light [21]

To solve this problem we will start by considering how to calculate the apparent weight. On the sphere this will then be given that the real weight is the sum of the apparent weight and the Buoyant Force. Therefore we will have to

W_T = W_A + F_B

Here

W_T= True Weight

W_A= Apparent Weight

F_B= Buoyant Force

If we seek to find the apparent weight we will have to,

W_A = W_T-F_B

W_A = 0.28N - V\rho g

Remember that

V = Volume (Volume Sphere)

\rho= Density (At this case water density)

g = Gravitational acceleration

W_A = 0.28N - (13*10^{-6}m^3)(1000kg/m^3)(9.8)

W_A = 0.1526N

Therefore the apparent weight will be 0.1526N

Y’all this assignment determines if i pass , please help me out.. Part 2: Graphing the Effect of Changing Mass and Velocity on K
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

* energy is proportional to masses. in a graph it would look like a line

* kinetic energy varies with the square of the velocity, In a graph it gives rise to a quadratic curve

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is defined by

        K = ½ m v²

when analyzing this expression we can see:

* energy is proportional to masses. Therefore, doubling the mass doubles the kinetic energy and if the mass rises 4 times the energy rises 4 times, that is, they are directly proportional, in a graph it would look like a line

* kinetic energy varies with the square of the velocity. Therefore by doubling the speed the energy goes up 4 times. In a graph it gives rise to a quadratic curve
