Gekata [30.6K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

C. a disturbance that travels through a medium with a transfer of energy and without a transfer of matter

Explanation:

A wave is any disturbance that transfers energy from one location to the other via a substance called medium. It is important to note that a wave only conveys energy and not matter. For example, sound wave is a type of wave that carries sound energy from one place to another via mediums such as water, air etc.

Hence, according to this question, a wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium with a transfer of energy and WITHOUT A TRANSFER OF MATTER.

A rock is rolling down a hill. At position 1, its velocity is 2.0 m/s. Twelve seconds later, as it passes position 2, its veloci
alukav5142 [94]
As this happens over twelve seconds, you would take the total difference in velocities and divide it by twelve to find the change per second

44.0 m/s - 2.0 m/s = 42.0 m/s 

42.0 m/s / 12 s = 3.5 m/s2

the acceleration of the rock would be 3.5 m/s2

(I will give you 10 pts) What elements are formed after a star runs out of hydrogen?
babunello [35]
<span>The core finally cools into a white dwarf, then a black dwarf. This is what happens when a normal-sized star dies. If a really huge star dies, it has so much mass that after the helium is used up, it still has enough carbon to fuse it into heavy elements like iron. When the core turns to iron, it no longer burns.

A particle was moving in a straight line at 172.8 km/hr. If it decelerated over 120 meters to come to rest, find the time taken
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

v=s/t

s=vt

t=s/v

t=(120×10‐³)/172.8

(the distance meters has been changed to kilometres)

t=1/1440 hrs

Water flowing through a cylindrical pipe suddenly comes to a section of pipe where the diameter decreases to 86% of its previous
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

The speed of the water in the large section of the pipe is not stated

so i will assume 36m/s

(if its not the said speed, input the figure of your speed and you get it right)

Continuity equation is applicable for ideal, incompressible liquids

Q the flux of water that is  Av with A the cross section area and v the velocity,

so,

A_1V_1=A_2V_2

A_{1}=\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2} \\\\ A_{2}=\frac{\pi}{4}d_{2}^{2}

the diameter decreases 86% so

d_2 = 0.86d_1

v_{2}=\frac{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2}v_{1}}{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{2}^{2}}\\\\=\frac{\cancel{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2}}v_{1}}{\cancel{\frac{\pi}{4}}(0.86\cancel{d_{1}})^{2}}\\\\\approx1.35v_{1} \\\\v_{2}\approx(1.35)(38)\\\\\approx48.6\,\frac{m}{s}

Thus, speed in smaller section is 48.6 m/s

Which has more gravitaatoinal potental energy: a bird on the ground or the same bird in the tree? why?
julsineya [31]
The same bird on the tree has more gravitational potential energy. This is because it is at a higher distance from the ground as it is on the tree, than when it is on the ground.

Considering also the formula for Gravitational Potential Energy GPE = mgh

For the bird on the ground, h =0,  therefore GPE = m*9.8*0 = 0

For that on the tree = mgh = m*9.8*h

Of course the one on the tree has a value greater than zero.
