The correct answer among the choices presented above is option A. Sound waves are considered as mechanical waves because they require a medium in which they can travel through. A mechanical wave is a wave that cannot transmit energy in a vacuum. It needs something to move energy.<span />

What is the equivalent resistance of a circuit that contains two 50.00
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Resistors in series add. There is only one path the current can take. That's why Christmas Tree lights sometimes give a lot of trouble. If a bulb burns out, it could be any one of them and time is needed to find the burned out bulb.

That being the case R = R1 + R2

R1 = 50 ohms

R2 = 50 ohms

R = 50 + 50

R = 100 ohms

Answer A

Figure 10.20 in your textbook shows an energy diagram for a system with total energy E1. Suppose the system's total energy is E2
wolverine [178]

The particles can undergo small oscillations around x₂.

The given parameters;

  • <em>initial energy of the particles = E₁</em>
  • <em>final energy of the particles, E₂ = 0.33E₁</em>

The movement of the particles depends on the kinetic energy of the particles.

When kinetic energy of the particles is 100%, the particles can oscillate from x₁ to x₅.

However, when the total energy of this particles is reduced to one-third (¹/₃) or 33% of the initial energy of the particle, the oscillation of the particles will be reduced.

  • The maximum position the particle can oscillate is x₅
  • The half position the particles can oscillate is x₃

Since 33% is less than the half of the energy of the particle, the particle will oscillate between x₁ and x₂.

Thus, we can conclude that the particles can undergo small oscillations around x₂.

PV = nRT, is the a. equation of state of an ideal gas
romanna [79]

Ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

P = pressure, V = volume, n = # of moles, R = gas constant, T = temperature

Equipartition theorem:

Each degree of freedom that a molecule has adds 0.5kT to its total internal energy where k = Boltzmann's constant and T = temperature

2nd law of thermodynamics:

A set of governing principles that restrict the direction of net heat flow (always hot to cold, heat engines are never 100% efficient, entropy always tends to increase, etc)

Clearly the answer is Choice A

A wave with a frequency of 80 Hz travels through rubber with a wavelength of 7.0 m. What is the velocity of the wave?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

560 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Frequency ( f ) = 80 hz

Wavelength ( λ ) = 7.0 m = 7m

To find : Velocity ( v )

Formula : -

v = f λ

v = 80 x 7

v = 560 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the wave is 560 m/s.
