A wave, waves transport energy rather than matter from one area to another.
An example of this is conduction of thermal energy, for instance when you heat up a saucepan the metal areas of the pan not touching the heat source still heat up due to waves of thermal energy (conduction)

Answer: wave

Explanation:

These are the basic definitions and characteristic of the terms given, which show tha the only rigth answer is the second option: wave.

1) Force is an interaction. There are four natural forces: electrostatic, gravity, strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force.

2) Wave: is a sequence of pulses or vibrations that cause the continuous transportation of energy (propagation). There is not transport of mass, only energy.

Some examples of waves are sound waves, electromagnetic waves (light, radio waves, micro waves, infrarred waves, ultraviolet waves).

3) Vacuum: is the absence of matter; empty space. Only electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum; other waves need a medium to travel.

4) Medium: any matter is a medium: a solid, the air, a liquid, all of them are media through which waves can transport its energy, depending of the wavelength.

When objects are heated they tend to expand because

Hello!
===
When objects are heated, their molecules tend to vibrate fast. As they vibrate, the space between each atom increases. This keeps on happening, and the object expands until it has cooled down.

A spring is hung from the ceiling. A 0.442-kg block is then attached to the free end of the spring. When released from rest, the

siniylev [52]

Answer:

$K=58.8N/m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass $M=0.442$

Drop distance $d=0.150$

Generally the equation for Spring Constant is mathematically given by

$K=\frac{2mg}{x}$

$K=\frac{2*0.442*9.8}{1.150}$

$K=58.8N/m$

Does kinetic energy stay the same at all heights? pls help I have 12 minutes to finish the project and the teacher won't help me

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Kinetic energy does not stay the same at all heights

Explanation:

Well as the height and wind increase so does the kinetic energy it's like when you fall as you are about to hit the floor you speed increases

A child slides down a snow‑covered slope on a sled. At the top of the slope, her mother gives her a push to start her off with a

kirill [66]

Answer:

θ = 13.16 °

Explanation:

Lets take mass of child = m

Initial velocity ,u= 1.1 m/s

Final velocity ,v=3.7 m/s

d= 22.5 m

The force due to gravity along the incline plane = m g sinθ

The friction force = (m g)/5

Now from work power energy

We know that

work done by all forces = change in kinetic energy

( m g sinθ - (m g)/5 ) d = 1/2 m v² - 1/2 m u²

(2 g sinθ - ( 2 g)/5 ) d = v² - u²

take g = 10 m/s²

(20 sinθ - ( 20)/5 ) 22.5 = 3.7² - 1.1²

20 sinθ - 4 =12.48/22.5

θ = 13.16 °

Visible light passes through a diffraction grating that has 900 slits per centimeter, and the interference pattern is observed o

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

$\Delta \lambda=14.3\ nm$

Explanation:

It is given that,

The number of lines per unit length, N = 900 slits per cm

Distance between the formed pattern and the grating, l = 2.3 m

n the first-order spectrum, maxima for two different wavelengths are separated on the screen by 2.98 mm, $\Delta Y=2.98\ mm = 0.00298\ m$

Let d is the slit width of the grating,

$d=\dfrac{1}{N}$

$d=\dfrac{1}{900\ cm}$

$d=1.11\times 10^{-5}\ m$

For the first wavelength, the position of maxima is given by :

$y_1=\dfrac{L\lambda_1}{d}$

For the other wavelength, the position of maxima is given by :

$y_2=\dfrac{L\lambda_2}{d}$

So,

$\Delta \lambda=\dfrac{\Delta y d}{l}$

$\Delta \lambda=\dfrac{0.00298\times 1.11\times 10^{-5}}{2.3}$

$\Delta \lambda=1.43\times 10^{-8}\ m$

or

$\Delta \lambda=14.3\ nm$

So, the difference between these wavelengths is 14.3 nm. Hence, this is the required solution.
