Answer:

Mechanical waves

Explanation:

Waves are periodic oscillations, that carry energy, but not matter.

Waves are classified into two types:

- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, which can oscillate along the direction of propagation of the wave (longitudinal wave) or perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). These waves can only propagate in a medium, so they cannot travel in a vacuum. Examples of mechanical waves are sound waves.

- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field. They are transverse waves. They are the only type of wave able to propagate through a vacuum (so, through space).

Therefore, the waves that need molecules in order to transfer energy are mechanical waves.

B. On a separate sheet of paper, describe the different ways of generating electric power.

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

These all different sources of energy add to the store of electrical power that is then sent out to different locations via high powered lines. It is the energy from the sun that is harnessed using a range of technologies such as solar heating, solar architecture, photovoltaics, and artificial photosynthesis.

On a nice summer day,Kim takes her niece Madison for a walk in her stroller.If they start from rest and accelerate at a rate of

11111nata11111 [884]

2.5m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Acceleration = 0.5m/s²

time of travel = 5s

Solution:

Final velocity = ?

Solution:

Acceleration can be defined as the change in velocity with time:

Acceleration = $\frac{Final velocity - Initial velocity}{time}$

From the equation above, the unknown is final velocity:

Final velocity - initial velocity = Acceleration x time

since initial velocity = 0

Final velocity = 0.5 x 5 = 2.5m/s

The mass luminosity relation L  M 3.5 describes the mathematical relationship between luminosity and mass for main sequence sta

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

(a) 11.3 L

(b) 10 M

Explanation:

The mass-luminosity relationship states that:

Luminosity ∝ Mass^3.5

Luminosity = (Constant)(Mass)^3.5

So, in order to find the values of luminosity or mass of different stars, we take the luminosity or mass of sun as reference. Therefore, write the equation for a star and Sun, and divide them to get:

Luminosity of a star/L = (Mass of Star/M)^3.5 ______ eqn(1)

where,

L = Luminosity of Sun

M = mass of Sun

(a)

It is given that:

Mass of Star = 2M

Therefore, eqn (1) implies that:

Luminosity of star/L = (2M/M)^3.5

Luminosity of Star = (2)^3.5 L

Luminosity of Star = 11.3 L

(b)

It is given that:

Luminosity of star = 3160 L

Therefore, eqn (1) implies that:

3160L/L = (Mass of Star/M)^3.5

taking ln on both sides:

ln (3160) = 3.5 ln(Mass of Star/M)

8.0583/3.5 = ln(Mass of Star/M)

Mass of Star/M = e^2.302

Mass of Star = 10 M
