Please I need help!!! ASAP!!! Do waves transfer matter?

Physics

mylen [45]3 years ago

Answer: Light energy only travels through empty space absent of mass energy and kinetic energy only travels through a medium full of mass energy. ... Waves don't transfer mass because mass is not the same as a wave. Mass can hold “extra” energy but it is that energy that moves through it as a wave, not the particle itself.

In a wave phenomenon, energy can move from one location to another, yet the particles of matter in the medium return to their fixed position. A wave transports its energy without transporting matter. Waves are seen to move through an ocean or lake; yet the water always returns to its rest position.

Featured snippet from the web

Mechanical waves move energy through a medium by vibrating particles. Mechanical waves can't move energy through a vacuum because there is no matter inside of a vacuum. The three types of mechanical waves are transverse waves, surface waves, and longitudinal waves.

Consider a river flowing toward a lake at an average velocity of 3 m/s at a rate of 500m3/sat a location 90 m above the lake sur
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

mechanical energy per unit mass is 887.4 J/kg

power generated is 443.7 MW

Explanation:

given data

average velocity = 3 m/s

rate = 500 m³/s

height h = 90 m

to find out

total mechanical energy and power generation potential

solution

we know that mechanical energy is sum of potential energy and kinetic energy

so

E = \frac{1}{2}×m×v² + m×g×h    .............1

and energy per mass unit is

E/m =  \frac{1}{2}×v² + g×h

put here value

E/m =  \frac{1}{2}×3² + 9.81×90

E/m = 887.4 J/kg

so mechanical energy per unit mass is 887.4 J/kg

and

power generated is express as

power generated = energy per unit mass ×rate×density

power generated = 887.4× 500× 1000

power generated = 443700000

so power generated is 443.7 MW

A 3.5 x 10-6 C charge is located 0.28 m from a 2.8 x 10-6 C charge. What is the magnitude of the force being exerted on the smal
Margarita [4]
The electrostatic force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law:
F=k_e  \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where
ke is the Coulomb's constant
q1 is the first charge
q2 is the second charge
r is the separation between the two charges

By substituting the data of the problem into the equation, we can find the magnitude of the force between the two charges:
F=(8.99 \cdot 10^{9} Nm^2C^{-2} ) \frac{(3.5 \cdot 10^{-6} N/C)(2.8 \cdot 10^{-6}N/C)}{(0.28m)^2}=1.2 N

A 2:2 kg toy train is con ned to roll along a straight, frictionless track parallel to the x-axis. The train starts at the origi
Liula [17]

Answer:

a) 10.51 J

b) 3.48 m/s

Explanation:

Given data :

mass of train ( M ) = 2.2 kg

Given initial velocity ( u ) = 1.6 m/s

<u>a) calculating work done by the force over the journey of the train</u>

F = mx + b  ------ ( 1 )

m = slope  = ( Δ f / Δ x ) = 2.8 / -7.5 = - 0.373 N/m

x = distance travelled on the x axis by the train = 7.5 m

F = force experienced by the train = 2.8 N

x = 0

∴ b = 2.8

hence equation 1 can be written as

F = ( -0.373) x + 2.8   ----- ( 2 )

hence to determine the work done by the force

W   = \int\limits^7_0 { ( -0.373) x + 2.8  )} \, dx     Note:  the limits are actually 7.5 and 0

∴ W ( work done ) = -10.49 + 21 = 10.51 J

<u>b) calculate the speed of the train at the end of its journey</u>

we will apply the work energy theorem

W = 1/2 m*v^2  -  1/2 m*u^2

∴ V^2 = 2 / M ( W + 1/2 M*u^2 )  ( input values into equation )

 V^2 = 12.11

hence V = 3.48 m/s

Calculate the change in length of concrete sidewalk (coefficient of linear expansion for concrete is 12*10^-6/celcius) that is 1
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 5.4 cm

Explanation:

This problem refers to calculate the change in length in one dimension due to a change in temperature.

Data

α = 12 x 10⁻⁶

Lo = 150 meters

ΔT = 30 °C

Formula

                    ΔL/Lo = αΔT

solve for ΔL

                    ΔL = αLoΔT

Substitution

                    ΔL = (12 x 10⁻⁶)(150)(30)

Simplification

                    ΔL = 0054 m = 5.4 cm
