A "mechanical wave" occurs in a physical medium because of some restoring force acting on the medium, and can be described by an

amplitude, an oscillation frequency, and an amplitude.
You can easily decrease the wavelength of a mechanical wave by half by doubling the frequency ONLY if which of the following is true? Select all that apply

(A) The ratio between the restoring force and the density of the medium remain constant
(B) The amplitude is doubled
(C) The amplitude is reduced by 1/2
(D) The same medium is used at the same temperature

Answer:

(A) The ratio between the restoring force and the density of the medium remain constant

Explanation:

The ratio between the restoring force and the density of the medium is equal to the square of the velocity of the wave.

v = \sqrt{\frac{F}{\mu}}

The general formula that relates the displacement and velocity (x = vt) can be written in wave mechanics such that

v = \lambda f

where f is the frequency, λ is the wavelength, and v is the velocity of the wave.

According to this equation, in order to halve the wavelength by doubling the frequency, the velocity should be constant. Therefore, the correct answer is (A).

The Southwest Indian Ridge, shown in red, moves at an average rate of 20 mm/year, making it among the ultraslow spreading ridges
blagie [28]

v = average speed of movement of the Southwest Indian Ridge = 20 mm/year

d = distance moved by the Southwest Indian Ridge = 100 mm

t = number of years required to move distance "d"

distance traveled is given as

d = v t

inserting the above values in the formula

100 mm = (20 mm/year) t

dividing both side by 20 mm/year

t = 100 mm/(20 mm/year)

t = 5 years

A 1.2 kg hammer slams down on a nail at 5.0 m/s and bounces off at 1.0 m/s. If the impact lasts 1.0 ms, what average force is ex
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse results in a change of momentum

FΔt = mΔV

F = mΔV/Δt

The impulse acting on the hammer will equal the impulse acting on the nail

If we assume upward is the positive direction

F = m(vf - vi)/t

F = 1.2(1.0 - (-1.5)) / 0.001

F = 3000 N

determine the loudness (in decibels) of the sound at a rock concert if the intensity of the sound is 1 x 10–1 w/m2. remember, th
EleoNora [17]

The loudness of the sound at the rock concert, where the intensity of the sound is1 x 10⁻¹ Wm⁻² is  110 dB.

Here we are dealing with loudness which is the perception of the Intensity of the sound.

The formula  to refer to in order  to  find the value of the loudness of a sound is ,

  db= 10log(I/I₀)

As we are provided with the current intensity which is  1 x 10⁻¹ Wm⁻². and the initial intensity which is  1 x 10⁻¹² Wm⁻².

So, by substituting the required values in the formula we get

db= 10 * log( 1 x 10⁻¹ /1 x 10⁻¹²)

 = 10 * 11 log(10)

 = 110

So, the result is 110 dB.
