What word can be used to describe the compression of a longitudal wave

Physics
1 answer:
NemiM [27]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Mechanical longitudinal waves are also called compressional or compression waves, because they produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium, and pressure waves, because they produce increases and decreases in pressure.

What’s the voltage of a battery in a circuit with resistance of 3 ohms and current of 5 amps?
alexira [117]

Answer: The correct answer is-15 Volts.

Explanation-

Voltage of a battery can be defined as the difference in electric potential that lies between the positive and negative terminals of a battery.

It can be calculated using Ohm's law, which states that the electric potential difference between two points on a circuit is equal to the product of the current that flows between the two points (I) and the total resistance that sis present between the two points. It can be mathematically depicted as-

ΔV = I • R  

Putting the value of 'I' and 'R', we get-

ΔV = 5 X 3

    =  15 V

The children at the local park think the slide is too slow. There is too much fiction. What could you do to decrease the amount
igor_vitrenko [27]
In order to decrease the friction on the slide,
we could try some of these:

-- Install a drippy pipe across the top that keeps continuously
dripping olive oil on the top end of the slide.  The oil oozes
down the slide and keeps the whole slide greased.

-- Hire a man to spread a coat of butter on the whole slide,
every 30 minutes.

-- Spray the whole slide with soapy sudsy water, every 30 minutes.

-- Drill a million holes in the slide,and pump high-pressure air
through the holes.  Make the slide like an air hockey table.

-- Keep the slide very cold, and keep spraying it with a fine mist
of water.  The water freezes, and a thin coating of ice stays on
the slide.

-- Ask a local auto mechanic to please, every time he changes
the oil in somebody's car, to keep all the old oil, and once a week
to bring his old oil to the park, to spread on the slide.  If it keeps
the inside of a hot car engine slippery, it should do a great job
keeping a simple park slide slippery.

-- Keep a thousand pairs of teflon pants near the bottom of the ladder
at the beginning of the slide.  Anybody who wants to slide faster can
borrow a set of teflon pants, put them on before he uses the slide, and
return them when he's ready to go home from the park.

Beings on spherical asteroid have observed that a large rock is approaching their asteroid in a collision course. At 7514 km fro
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

c. 4.582\times10^{21} kg

Explanation:

r_{i} = Initial distance between asteroid and rock = 7514 km = 7514000 m

r_{f} = Final distance between asteroid and rock = 2823 km = 2823000 m

v_{i} = Initial speed of rock = 136 ms⁻¹

v_{f} = Final speed of rock = 392 ms⁻¹

m = mass of the rock

M = mass of the asteroid

Using conservation of energy

Initial Kinetic energy of rock + Initial gravitational potential energy = Final Kinetic energy of rock + Final gravitational potential energy

(0.5) m v_{i}^{2} - \frac{GMm}{r_{i}} = (0.5) m v_{f}^{2} - \frac{GMm}{r_{f}} \\(0.5) v_{i}^{2} - \frac{GM}{r_{i}} = (0.5) v_{f}^{2} - \frac{GM}{r_{f}} \\(0.5) (136)^{2} - \frac{(6.67\times10^{-11}) M}{(7514000)} = (0.5) (392)^{2} - \frac{(6.67\times10^{-11}) M}{(2823000)} \\M = 4.582\times10^{21} kg

A ball is kicked from a height of 20 meters above the ground. If the initial velocity is 10 m/s, how long is the ball in flight
nasty-shy [4]
S=20 m
v=10 m/s
t=s/v
= 20/10
= 2 s.

What is the speed of a truck traveling 10km in 10 minutes
user100 [1]

Answer: 58.8235 km/h

speed = distance/time

the distance is 10 km

the time is 10 minutes

the unit is not correct, so we first change minute to hour

so 10/60 is 0.166667, rounded to 0.17.

10 km/ 0.17 hours =
