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

Oceanographers use submerged sonar systems, towed by a cable from a ship, to map the ocean floor. In addition to their downward

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Tension in the cable is T = 16653.32 N

Explanation:

Give data:

Cross section Area A = 1.3 m^2

Drag coefficient CD = 1.2

Velocity V = 4.3 m/s

Angle made by cable with horizontal =30 degree

Density $\rho \ of\ water= 1000 kg/m3$

Drag force FD is given as

$F_{D} = \fracP{1}{2} \rho v^{2} C_{D} A$

$= 0.5\times 1000\times 4.32\times 1.2\times 1.3$

Drag force = 14422.2 N acting opposite to the motion

As cable made angle of 30 degree with horizontal thus horizontal component is take into action to calculate drag force

TCos30 = F_D

$T = \frac{F_D}{cos30}$

$T =\frac{ 14422.2}{cos 30}$

T = 16653.32 N

What are the condition required for reverberation?

Luda [366]

Answer:

Reverberation is created when a sound produced in a sapce is reflected off surfaces, like walls, teh floor or the ceiling. ... The time it takes for this sound in the space to decrease in volume down to 60 decibels (practically silence) after the sound source is extinguished is its reverberation time.

Air pressure is 1.0 · 105 N/m2, air density is 1.3 kg/m3, and the density of soft drinks is 1.0 · 103 kg/m3. If one blows carefu

natita [175]

Answer:

v = 27.456 m/s

Explanation:

The support pressure needed of the water in the straw can be calculated by the formula

Given that,

P = r*g*h

= 1000*9.8*0.05 Pa.= 490 Pa

This pressure is compensated by 0.5*r*v^2 of the air,
