What are shock waves? How are they produced?

1 answer:

7 0

This phenomenon is known as a shock wave. Shock waves are also produced if the aircraft moves faster than the speed of sound. If a moving source of sound moves faster than sound, the source will always be ahead of the waves that it produces.

You drive on Interstate 10 from San Antonio to Houston, half the time at 72 km/h and the other half at 98 km/h. On the way back

zimovet [89]

Answer: a. 85km/hr b.82.3km/hr

c. 84km/hr

Explanation: first let take the total time from San Antonio to Houston to be 2hr.

Half time 1hr was covered with speed of 72km/hr

Distance = speed*time=72km/hr *1hr

=72km

So too with the second half of 1hr covered with speed of 98km/hr

Distance = 98km

Total distance from Houston to San Antonio is 98+72 =170km

a. Average speed from San Antonio to Houston is

S1 =170/2

=85km/hr

b.half distance from Houston to San Antonio which is 170km/2

= 85km was covered with speed of 72km/hr first half, so time

t = dist/speed

t = 85/72 = 1hr 12 mins

Remaining 85 km covered with a speed of 98km/hr

Time = 85/98 = 0.88*60min

= 52 mins

Total time = 1hr +12mins +52mins

=2hr4mins= 124/60 hr

So average speed = distance/time

=170/124/60

Using reciprocal law

Average speed S2= 170*60/124

= 82.3km/hr

C. Average speed to and fro(entire tripe)

= (85+82.3)/2

=84km/hr

Select the appropriate units for each property of a wave.

IceJOKER [234]

Intensity: Decibels

Amplitude: Meters

Frequency: Hertz

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Wave is not visible to eyes and they can easily propagate through vacuum. the average power travelling at a given period of time in a space is the intensity. Decibels is the measure of intensity. it is measured in the decibel scale. The wave's strength and the intensity gives the amplitude of wave. It is measured using meters.

The wave's amplitude and the energy has a direct proportionality. The number occurrence of wave cycles per second refers to the frequency of wave. it is measured in hertz. it is also measured as the number of cycles that occurs per second.

A solar eclipse will occur Group of answer choices

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

3. at new Moon only when the Moon is on the ecliptic.

Explanation:

Solar eclipse is the condition when the moon comes in between the sun and the earth. In this condition the moon casts its shadow on the earth.

Whether the eclipse is a total solar eclipse, a partial solar eclipse or an annular solar eclipse depends on various factors, but the position of the moon must be on the same orbital plane as that of the earth's orbit around the sun.

The sun is about 400 times larger than the moon in size and the sun is almost 400 times farther from the earth than the moon is, this makes it possible for the moon to cover the sun completely leading to a complete solar eclipse.

As we know that the orbit of the earth around the sun and the orbit of the moon around the earth is elliptical which leads to a variation in the distance from their rotating centers, so not of every eclipse the moon covers the sun completely developing an annular eclipse.

When the moon is close enough to the earth on the ecliptic but not completely aligned in between the sun and the earth leads to a partial solar eclipse.

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 53.0 cm . The explorer finds that

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

12.4 m/s²

Explanation:

L = length of the simple pendulum = 53 cm = 0.53 m

n = Number of full swing cycles = 99.0

t = Total time taken = 128 s

T = Time period of the pendulum

g = magnitude of gravitational acceleration on the planet
