What waves need molecules in order to transfer energy

Physics
1 answer:
nevsk [136]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Question is missing. Found on google:

<em>"Part A What is the acceleration of the ball? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. </em>

<em>Part B </em>

<em>What is the net force on the ball during the hit?  </em>

<em>Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units."</em>

Solution:

A) 6000 m/s^2

The acceleration of the ball is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 12 m/s is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the ball is stationary)

t = 2.0 ms = 0.002 s is the time of contact

Substituting,

a=\frac{12-0}{0.002}=6.0 \cdot 10^3 m/s^2

B) 8.4\cdot 10^2 N

The force on the ball can be found by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

m = 140 g = 0.14 kg is the mass of the ball

a=6.0\cdot 10^3 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Substituting,

F=(0.14)(6.0\cdot 10^3)=8.4\cdot 10^2 N

RSB [31]
First, we must find the vertical distance traveled upwards by the ball due to the throw. For this, we will use the formula:

2as = v² - u²

Because the final velocity v is 0 in such cases

s = -u²/2a; because both u and a are downwards, the negative sign cancels

s = 14.5² / 2*9.81
s = 10.72 meters

Next, to find the time taken to reach the ground, we need the height above the ground. This is:
45 + 10.72 = 55.72 m

We will use the formula 
s = ut + 0.5at²

to find the time taken with the initial velocity u = 0.

55.72 = 0.5 * 9.81 * t²

t = 3.37 seconds
