What waves need molecules in order to transfer energy

Physics
1 answer:
nevsk [136]2 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.

The mass of the earth is 5.98 1024 kg, the mass of the moon is 7.36 1022 kg, and the distance between the centers of the earth a
Setler [38]

Answer:

 x_{cm} = 4.644 10⁶ m

Explanation:

The center of mass is given by the equation

         x_{cm} = 1 / M_{total}  ∑ x_{i}  m_{i}

Where M_{total} is the total masses of the system, x_{i} is the distance between the particles and m_{i} is the masses of each body

Let's apply this equation to our problem

        M = Me + m

        M = 5.98 10²⁴ + 7.36 10²²

        M = 605.36 10²² kg

Let's locate a reference system located in the center of the Earth

Let's calculate

       x_{cm} = 1 / 605.36 10²²   [Me 0 + 7.36 10²² 3.82 10⁸]

       x_{cm} = 4.644 10⁶ m

<h3>What is a good illustration of gravity?</h3>

The energy holding the gases inside the sun. the power behind a ball's descent after being thrown into the air. the force that makes an automobile coast downward even when the gas is not depressed.

<h3>What makes anything gravitational?</h3>

Our term gravity and more specific derivation gravitation are derived from a Latin word gravity, from gravis, which itself is derived from a much older root word that is considered to have existed due to multiple cognates in closely related languages.
