1. Do the particles in the medium material move in the same direction of the wave or at opposite direction to the wave? Explain

your answer.
2. By inputting more energy into the wave, i.e a large shake of the spring, which wave property also increases?

3. Are there forces of friction acting while a wave is passing through a medium?

1. Both

Assuming we are talking about a longitudinal wave (where particles oscillate in a direction parallel to the direction of motion of the wave), the answer is 'both'. In fact, waves consist of oscillations of the particles of a medium: in the case of the longitudinal waves, the particles oscillate back and forth, back and forth, continuosuly. This means that at some time they are moving forward, while at some time they are moving backward, with respect to the direction of the wave.


2. The amplitude

The energy of a wave is related to its amplitude. More specifically, the energy of a wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude:

E\propto A^2

therefore, if the spring has a larger amplitude of oscillation, it also has more energy.


3. Yes

Forces of friction act while a mechanical wave passes through a medium. As a result, particles during the oscillations lose part of their energy: this means that the amplitude of the oscillations of the wave decrease over time, because the wave loses some energy. Eventually, if the friction lasts enough, the wave can lose all its energy.

How are the concepts of impulse and momentum related?
butalik [34]

Answer:

The impulse experienced by the object equals the change in momentum of the object. In equation form, F • t = m • Δ v. In a collision, objects experience an impulse; the impulse causes and is equal to the change in momentum. ... The collision would change the halfback's speed and thus his momentum.

The 1350-kg car has a velocity of 24 km/h up the 8-percent grade when the driver applies more power for 18 s to bring the car up
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply concept of impulse to solve the problem  .

Impulse = force x time

impulse = change in momentum

force x time = change in momentum

initial speed u = 24 km/h = 6.67 m /s

final speed v = 65 km/h = 18.05 m /s

change in momentum = m v - mu

= m ( v-u )

= 1350 ( 18.05 - 6.67 )

= 15363 kg m/s

F x 18 = 15363

F = 853.5 N .

An object is 15 cm in front of a diverging lens with a
Rainbow [258]

A) See ray diagram in attachment (-6.0 cm)

By looking at the ray diagram, we see that the image is located approximately at a distance of 6-7 cm from the lens. This can be confirmed by using the lens equation:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}

where

q is the distance of the image from the lens

f = -10 cm is the focal length (negative for a diverging lens)

p = 15 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

Solving for q,

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{-10 cm}-\frac{1}{15 cm}=-0.167 cm^{-1}

q=\frac{1}{-0.167 cm^{-1}}=-6.0 cm

B) The image is upright

As we see from the ray diagram, the image is upright. This is also confirmed by the magnification equation:

h_i = - h_o \frac{q}{p}

where h_i, h_o are the size of the image and of the object, respectively.

Since q < 0 and p > o, we have that h_i >0, which means that the image is upright.

C) The image is virtual

As we see from the ray diagram, the image is on the same side of the object with respect to the lens: so, it is virtual.

This is also confirmed by the sign of q in the lens equation: since q < 0, it means that the image is virtual
