What is the definition of mechanical waves

Physics
2 answers:
Svetllana [295]3 years ago
8 0

A mechanical wave is a wave where there's
some material doing the waving.

Examples:

-- ripples on water
-- waves on a rope
-- waves on a spring
-- waves on a Slinky
-- sound waves in air
-- seismic waves in rock
-- vibrations on a guitar string
-- vibrations on a violin string

A mechanical waves is a wave that is an oscillantion of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium.

A 6.4-N force pulls horizontally on a 1.5-kg block that slides on a smooth horizontal surface. This block is connected by a hori
Elena L [17]

-- Although it's not explicitly stated in the question,we have to assume that
the surface is frictionless.  I guess that's what "smooth" means.

-- The total mass of both blocks is (1.5 + 0.93) = 2.43 kg. Since they're
connected to each other (by the string), 2.43 kg is the mass you're pulling.

-- Your force is 6.4 N.
                                    Acceleration = (force)/(mass) = 6.4/2.43 m/s²<em>
                                                                 </em>
That's about  <em>2.634 m/s²</em>  <em>

</em>
(I'm going to keep the fraction form handy, because the acceleration has to be
used for the next part of the question, so we'll need it as accurate as possible.)

-- Both blocks accelerate at the same rate. So the force on the rear block (m₂) is

       Force = (mass) x (acceleration) = (0.93) x (6.4/2.43) = <em>2.45 N</em>.

That's the force that's accelerating the little block, so that must be the tension
in the string.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

D) the universal law of gravitation.

Explanation:

Based on the statement of the Coulomb's law, it is easy to conclude that the law is similar to the universal law of gravitation.

Newton's law of universal gravitation is one of the most interesting physical laws out there.

It states that "the gravitational force of attraction between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distances between the charges".

Recalling the coulomb's law, we can clearly see that both shows a direct proportionality of force to quantity of charges/mass and inverse proportionality to the square of the distances between them.
