Answer:

Describe a sound wave.  Discuss what determines pitch and volume. A sound wave is the pattern of disturbance caused by the movement of energy traveling through a medium. It can travel through the air, water, and most liquids.The medium consists of particles that oscillate within a certain amplitude. The volume is proportional to the amplitude of the sound wave. The frequency of a sound wave is perceived as pitch.

Describe the properties of a wave.  Include how longitudinal and transverse waves are alike and how they are different. Provide an example for each. The properties of a wave include amplitude, frequency, period, wavelength, and speed. The amplitude of a wave is a measure of the displacement of the wave from its rest position.The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two corresponding points on back-to-back cycles of a wave.The speed is how fast the disturbance of the wave is moving.  A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the particles of matter move in a direction parallel to the motion of the wave. A transverse wave is a wave in which the particles of matter oscillate in the direction perpendicular to the motion of the wave. Longitudinal waves and transverse waves are different because transverse waves move in perpendicular direction to the source of vibration, and for longitudinal waves, the waves move in parallel direction to the source of vibration. They are both similar because energy is transferred in the form of waves. Here is an example of a longitudinal wave, waves moving along the water. Here is an example of a transverse wave, the vibrations in a guitar.

Describe the electromagnetic spectrum, electromagnetic waves, and give two examples of different types of electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of wavelengths or frequencies over which electromagnetic radiation extends. Electromagnetic waves are waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. Here is an example of a radio wave, Cellular Networks use radio waves to get the data from the cell towers to your phone. Here is an example of an infrared wave, a glowing light bulb uses infrared waves.

Three samples of gas each exert 740. mm Hg in separate 2 L containers. What pressure do they exert if they are all placed in a s
Usimov [2.4K]
According to Dalton's law of partial pressure, the total pressure exerted is simply equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. Given that all three samples of gas each exert 740 mmHg, when they are placed in a single 2 L container, they exert a pressure of 2220 mmHg on the container which is the sum of their individual pressures.

An 85 kg object is moving at a constant speed of 15 m/s in a circular path, which has a radius of 20 meters. What centripetal fo
UNO [17]
As we know that centripetal force =mv^2/r
given data is 
m = mass
v = speed
r = radius
putting values we get

= 85 x 15^2 / 20

= 956.25 N

A point charge gives rise to an electric field with magnitude 2 N/C at a distance of 4 m. If the distance is increased to 20 m,
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

0.08 N/C

Explanation:

Electric Field: This is defined as the force per unit charge exerted at a point. The expression for electric field is given as,

E = Kq/r².............................. Equation 1

Where E = Electric Field, q = Charge, k = proportionality constant, r = distance.

making q the subject of the equation,

q = Er²/k............................... Equation 2

Given: E = 2 N/C, r = 4 m,

Substitute into equation 2

q = 2(4)²/k

q = 32/k C.

When r is increased to 20 m,

E = k(32/k)/20²

E = 32/400

E = 0.08 N/C.

Hence the electric Field = 0.08 N/C
