Answer:
Longitudinal waves
Explanation:
With sound waves, the energy travels along in the same direction as the particles vibrate. This type of wave is known as a longitudinal wave , so named because the energy travels along the direction of vibration of the particles.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Scientists use significant figures to avoid claiming more accuracy in a calculation than they actually know.
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data A person jumps from the roof of a house 3.4 meters high. When he strikes the ground below, he bends his knees so that his torso decelerates over an approximate distance of 0.70 meters. If the mass of his torso (excluding legs) is 41 kg. A. Find his velocity just before his feet strike the ground. B. Find the average force exerted on his torso by his legs during deceleration. 2. Relevant equations I can't even seem to figure that part out. Help please? 3. The attempt at a solution I don't know how to start this at all
According to Gauss' law, the electric field outside a spherical surface uniformly charged is equal to the electric field if the whole charge were concentrated at the center of the sphere.
Therefore, when you are outside two spheres, the electric field will be the overlapping of the two electric fields:
E(r > r₂ > r₁) = k · q₁/r² + k · q₂/r² = k · (q₁ + q₂) / r²
where:
k = 9×10⁹ N·m²/C²
We have to transform our data into the correct units of measurement:
q₁ = 8.0 pC = 8.0×10⁻¹² C
q₂ = 3.0 pC = 3.0×10<span>⁻¹² C
</span><span>r = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m
Now, we can apply the formula:
</span><span>E(r) = k · (q₁ + q₂) / r²
= </span>9×10⁹ · (8.0×10⁻¹² + 3.0×10⁻¹²) / (0.05)²
= 39.6 N/C
Hence, <span>the magnitude of the electric field 5.0 cm from the center of the two surfaces is E = 39.6 N/C</span>
