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

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The forces experienced by the middle particle are attractive, and the net force will remain the same (0) if and only if the distances of the sides particles to the middle particle are the same.

Explanation:

In example 20.3 the forces experienced by the middle particle are repulsive because all the particles are positive, for the case in which the particles on the sides are replaced for negative charge particles the forces experienced by the middle particle are attractive. Regarding the net force, because we don't know the distances we can not give a definitive answer, what we can say is that if the distances from the middle particle to the sides particles are the same the net force is zero for both cases (remain unchanged).

A small metal sphere weighs .28 N in air and has a volume of13
Ray Of Light [21]

To solve this problem we will start by considering how to calculate the apparent weight. On the sphere this will then be given that the real weight is the sum of the apparent weight and the Buoyant Force. Therefore we will have to

W_T = W_A + F_B

Here

W_T= True Weight

W_A= Apparent Weight

F_B= Buoyant Force

If we seek to find the apparent weight we will have to,

W_A = W_T-F_B

W_A = 0.28N - V\rho g

Remember that

V = Volume (Volume Sphere)

\rho= Density (At this case water density)

g = Gravitational acceleration

W_A = 0.28N - (13*10^{-6}m^3)(1000kg/m^3)(9.8)

W_A = 0.1526N

Therefore the apparent weight will be 0.1526N
