Name two kinds of longitudinal waves and explain how you know they are longitudinal

Physics
1 answer:
jasenka [17]4 years ago
6 0
First of all Longitudinal waves is a matter in the medium that moves parallel to the direction of the wave travels. 
1st example: sound travels parallel.
2nd example: when you talk you will here your voice again. because all the frequency bounce back to you.

In the other hand Transverse wave matter in the medium moves perpendicular to direction the wave travels.
For example: light is a good example of transverse wave.

You are designing a ski jump ramp for the next Winter Olympics. You need to calculate the vertical height (h) from the starting
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

h = 50.49 m

Explanation:

Data provided:

Speed of skier, u = 2.0 m/s

Maximum safe speed of the skier, v = 30.0 m/s

Mass of the skier, m = 85.0

Total work = 4000 J

Height from the starting gate = h

Now, from the law of conservation of energy

Total energy at the gate = total energy at the time maximum speed is reached

\frac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh=4000J+\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity

on substituting the values, we get

\frac{1}{2}\times85\times2.0^2+85\times9.81\times h=4000J+\frac{1}{2}\times85\times30^2

or

170 + 833.85 × h = 4000 + 38250

or

h = 50.49 m

What is the acceleration of a block on a ramp inclined 35o to the horizontal if µk = 0.4?
lina2011 [118]
We can solve the problem by applying Newton's second law, which states that the resultant of the forces acting on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:
\sum F = ma

We should consider two different directions: the direction perpendicular to the inclined plane and the direction parallel to it. Let's write the equations of the forces along the two directions, decomposing the weight of the object (mg):

mg \sin \theta - \mu_K N = ma (parallel direction) (1)
mg \cos \theta - N =0 (perpendicular direction) (2)
where
\theta=35^{\circ} is the angle of the inclined plane, N is the normal reaction of the plane, \mu_K N is the frictional force, with \mu_K=0.4 being the coefficient of friction.

From eq.(2), we find
N=mg \cos \theta
and if we substitute into eq.(1), we can find the acceleration of the block:
mg \sin \theta - \mu_k mg \cos \theta = ma
from which
a=g(\sin \theta - \mu_K \cos \theta)=(9.81 m/s^2)(\sin 35^{\circ} - 0.4 \cos 35^{\circ})=2.41 m/s^2

Calculate the rate of heat generation in kW due to the burning of the fuel when you drive a car rated at 34 MPG (miles per gallo
alexira [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let us calculate gallon used in one hour .

It travels 70 miles in one hour

in 70 miles it uses 70 / 34 gallons of fuel

70 / 34 gallons = 70 / 34 x 3.7854 kg

= 7.8 kg

heat generated = 7.8 x 44 x 10⁶ J

= 343.2 x 10⁶ J

This is heat generated in one hour

heat generated in one second = 343.2 x 10⁶ / 60 x 60 J/s

= 95.33 x 10³ J /s

= 95.33 kW.
