A mechanical wave can be defined by

Physics
1 answer:
Andrej [43]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

d. All of the above

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

A mechanical wave can be defined by which of the following?

a. Carries energy from one place to another

b. Moves through solids, liquids, and gasses

c. Is created when a source of energy creates a vibration

d. All of the above

Solution

A mechanical wave is an oscillation of matter which carries energy from one place to another. This oscillation of matter shows that a mechanical wave requires a medium to pass through, be it solid, liquid or gas.

A mechanical wave can usually be created by the the vibration of a medium due to a source of energy.

Examples of mechanical waves are sound waves and water waves

Since all these characterize a mechanical wave, the option d is the correct answer

in the derivation of the time period of a pendulum in electric field when considering the fbd of bob to find the g effective why
Neko [114]

Answer:

we learned that an object that is vibrating is acted upon by a restoring force. The restoring force causes the vibrating object to slow down as it moves away from the equilibrium position and to speed up as it approaches the equilibrium position. It is this restoring force that is responsible for the vibration. So what forces act upon a pendulum bob? And what is the restoring force for a pendulum? There are two dominant forces acting upon a pendulum bob at all times during the course of its motion. There is the force of gravity that acts downward upon the bob. It results from the Earth's mass attracting the mass of the bob. And there is a tension force acting upward and towards the pivot point of the pendulum. The tension force results from the string pulling upon the bob of the pendulum. In our discussion, we will ignore the influence of air resistance - a third force that always opposes the motion of the bob as it swings to and fro. The air resistance force is relatively weak compared to the two dominant forces.

The gravity force is highly predictable; it is always in the same direction (down) and always of the same magnitude - mass*9.8 N/kg. The tension force is considerably less predictable. Both its direction and its magnitude change as the bob swings to and fro. The direction of the tension force is always towards the pivot point. So as the bob swings to the left of its equilibrium position, the tension force is at an angle - directed upwards and to the right. And as the bob swings to the right of its equilibrium position, the tension is directed upwards and to the left. The diagram below depicts the direction of these two forces at five different positions over the course of the pendulum's path.

that's what I know so far

a snail can move approximately 0.30 meters per minute.How many meters can the snail cover in 15 minutes ?
hichkok12 [17]
Sometimes if you have the word per, you need to multiply. In this problem, they are asking you to find the amount of meters a snail can travel per minute.They are giving you the amount of minutes, so in this case you multiply 15 times 0.30. The answer is 4.5 meters.

Nikolas had an idea that he could use the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher to propel him on his skateboard.
Vikentia [17]
The Newton’s law Nikolas would use to come up with this idea is the <span>Third law that states:

</span><span>When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.
</span>
So, in this case, let's name the first Body A which is the skateboard and the second body B which is <span>the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher. Then, as shown in the figure below, according to the Third law:

</span>FA = -FB<span>

</span>

It is correct to say that impulse is equal toA) momentum.B) the change in momentum.C) the force multiplied by the distance the f
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

B) the change in momentum.

Explanation:

The impulse is defined as the product between the force applied on an object (F) and the duration of the collision (\Delta t):

J=F \Delta t (1)

We can rewrite the force by using Newton's second law, as the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

F=ma

So, (1) becomes

J=ma \Delta t

Now we can also rewrite the acceleration as ratio between the change in velocity and change in time: a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}. If we substitute into the previous equation, we find

J=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\Delta t=m\Delta v

And the quantity m\Delta v is equivalent to the change in momentum, \Delta p.
