Svetllana [295]2 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

.In a bizarre but harmless accident, Superman fell from the top of the Eiffel Tower. How fast was Superman traveling when he hit
ELEN [110]

Answer:

 (7.8) x (9.8 m/s)  =  76.44 m/s

during the time he spent falling.

Since his falling speed was zero when he 'stepped' off of the top,

he hit the ground at  76.44 m/s.

That's about 170 miles per hour.

I'll bet he left one serious crater!

I hope this helps too! :D

A cube of side 5.0m is in a region where the electric field is directed outward from both of two opposite cube faces, with unifo
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The charge inside the cube is null.

Explanation:

If we apply the gauss theorem with a cubical gaussian surface of the size of the cube:

\displaystyle\oint_{S} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds}=\frac{q_{in}}{\varepsilon_{0}}

If we consider than the direction of the electric field is \vec{E}=E_0\hat{x}, we can solve the problem differentiating  the integral for each face of the cube:

\displaystyle\oint_{S} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds}=\displaystyle\int_{S_1} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds_1}+\displaystyle\int_{S_2} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds_2}+\displaystyle\int_{S_3} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds_3}+\displaystyle\int_{S_4} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds_4}+\displaystyle\int_{S_5} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds_5}+\displaystyle\int_{S_6} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds_6}

\displaystyle\oint_{S} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds}=\displaystyle\int_{S_1} E_0\hat{x}\,\hat{x}ds_1+\displaystyle\int_{S_2} E_0\hat{x}\,\hat{-x}ds_2+\displaystyle\int_{S_3} E_0\hat{x}\,\hat{y}ds_3+\displaystyle\int_{S_4} E_0\hat{x}\,\hat{-y}ds_4+\displaystyle\int_{S_5} E_0\hat{x}\,\hat{z}ds_5+\displaystyle\int_{S_6} E_0\hat{x}\,\hat{-z}ds_6

E₀ is a constant and each surface is equal to each other, so: S_1=S_2=S_i=S

Therefore:

\displaystyle\oint_{S} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds}=E_0\displaystyle\int_{S_1} \,ds_1+E_0\displaystyle\int_{S_2} -1\,ds_2+0+0+0+0=E_0S-E_0S=0

\displaystyle\oint_{S} \vec{E}\,\vec{ds}=0=\frac{q_0}{\varepsilon_0} \longleftrightarrow q_0=0c
