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

1 answer:

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.

Can anyone help me to explain theory of relativity???

OLga [1]

Answer:

The theory of relativity usually encompasses two interrelated theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity, proposed and published in 1905 and 1915, respectively. Special relativity applies to all physical phenomena in the absence of gravity. General relativity explains the law of gravitation and its relation to other forces of nature.It applies to the cosmological and astrophysical realm, including astronomy.

The theory transformed theoretical physics and astronomy during the 20th century, superseding a 200-year-old theory of mechanics created primarily by Isaac Newton. It introduced concepts including spacetime as a unified entity of space and time, relativity of simultaneity, kinematic and gravitational time dilation, and length contraction. In the field of physics, relativity improved the science of elementary particles and their fundamental interactions, along with ushering in the nuclear age. With relativity, cosmology and astrophysics predicted extraordinary astronomical phenomena such as neutron stars, black holes, and gravitational waves

4. Explain how states of matter change in regards to a. Temperature- b. Pressure-

Alina [70]

Temperature can change the state from solid to liquid causing it to melting, liquid to gas causing vaporization or a solid to a gas causing sublimation. Pressure alone cannot change the state of matter.

A horizontal circular curve on a highway is designed for traffic moving at 60 km/h. If the radius of the curve is 150 m, and if

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The value of the correct angle of banking for the road is $\theta = 67.76$ °

Explanation:

Given data

Velocity (v) = 60 $\frac{m}{s}$

Radius = 150 m

The velocity of the car in this case is given by

$v = \sqrt{r g \tan \theta}$

$v^{2} = r g \tan \theta$

$\tan \theta = \frac{v^{2} }{rg}$

Put all the values in above formula we get

$\tan \theta = \frac{60^{2} }{(150)(9.81)}$

$\tan \theta =$ 2.446

$\theta = 67.76$ °

Therefore the value of the correct angle of banking for the road is $\theta = 67.76$ °

A car moved 60 meters west in 2 hours. What is its average velocity?

Fofino [41]

Explanation: Velocity is the displacement of an object during a specific unit of time. Two measurements are needed to determine velocity. Displacement and time. Displacement includes a direction, so velocity also includes a direction. Speed with direction. Velocity can be an average velocity or an instantaneous velocity. Units for velocity are the same as for speed: m/s, km/h, and mph. Delta x(Δx) is the symbol used for displacement. Delta (Δ) means to "change in." Δx means to "change in position." Δx is calculated by final position minus initial position. Velocity formula: → v=Δx/t as a fraction.

v=Δx/t

$v=\frac{xf-xi}{t}= \frac{60m}{2}=30m$

Final answer is 30.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!
