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.

How do you determine the wattage capacity needed by a power supply?
Lady bird [3.3K]
We could use the formula for the Power supply in order to find the wattage capacity and it would be:

P = V²/R or P = V * I

Hope this helps!

Stars of spectral type A and F are considered ________.
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

<u>B. the stars of spectral type A and F are considered reasonably to have habitable planets but much less likely to have planets with complex plant - or animal - like life.</u>

Explanation:

The appropriate spectral range for habitable stars is considered to be "late F" or "G", to "mid-K" or even late "A". <em>This corresponds to temperatures of a little more than 7,000 K down to a little less than 4,000 K</em> (6,700 °C to 3,700 °C); the Sun, a G2 star at 5,777 K, is well within these bounds. "Middle-class" stars (late A, late F, G , mid K )of this sort have a number of characteristics considered important to planetary habitability:

• They live at least a few billion years, allowing life a chance to evolve. <em>More luminous main-sequence stars of the "O", "B", and "A" classes usually live less than a billion years and in exceptional cases less than 10 million.</em>

• They emit enough high-frequency ultraviolet radiation to trigger important atmospheric dynamics such as ozone formation, but not so much that ionisation destroys incipient life.

• They emit sufficient radiation at wavelengths conducive to photosynthesis.

• Liquid water may exist on the surface of planets orbiting them at a distance that does not induce tidal locking.

<u><em>Thus , the stars of spectral type A and F are considered reasonably to have habitable planets but much less likely to have planets with complex plant - or animak - like life.</em></u>

Please someone help me.

Answer:

acceleration of the car is 3 m\s^2

Explanation:

from rest means the initial velocity (vi) is zero

time = 5s

final velocity (vf) = 15m\s

a = vf - vi \ t

a = (15-0) \ 5

a= 3 m\s^2

which means that the car is speeding up 3 meters every second

A wheel of mass 4kg is pulled up a plane inclined at 30° to the horizontal by a force of 45N applied to the axle and parallel to
Len [333]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Let's assume the wheel does not slip as it accelerates.

Energy theory is more straightforward than kinematics in my opinion.

Work done on the wheel

W = Fd = 45(12) = 540 J

Some is converted to potential energy

PE = mgh = 4(9.8)12sin30 = 235.2 J

As there is no friction mentioned, the remainder is kinetic energy

KE = 540 - 235.2 = 304.8 J

KE = ½mv² + ½Iω²

ω = v/R

KE = ½mv² + ½I(v/R)² = ½(m + I/R²)v²

v = √(2KE / (m + I/R²))

v = √(2(304.8) / (4 + 0.5/0.5²)) = √101.6

v = 10.07968...

uphill at a rate of 2.5 mi/h from the base of a 6-mi trail. At the same time, Edwin walks downhill at a rate of 3.5 mi/h from th
uranmaximum [27]
<h2>After 1 hour they meet.</h2>

Explanation:

Distance between them = 6 miles

Speed of uphill person = 2.5 miles per hour

Speed of downhill person = 3.5 miles per hour

Relative velocity = 2.5 - ( -3.5 ) = 6 miles per hour

We know

         Displacement = Velocity x Time

         6 = 6 x Time taken

Time taken = 1 hour

After 1 hour they meet.
