Explanation:

Mechanical waves are waves that requires a medium for their propagation. There are two types of mechanical waves:

Transverse waves
Longitudinal waves

Transverse waves are waves that propagates perpendicularly to their source. Examples are electromagnetic waves, ripple on water etc.

Longitudinal waves are waves that propagates parallel to their source. They move in a series of rarefactions and compressions along their path. An example is seismic p-waves

Which part of the curve shows:

AVprozaik [17]

Answer / Explanation:

acceleration is essentially increasing in velocity. [acceleration is literally velocity over time]

So, we can see acceleration on this velocity/time graph (the y-axis is representative of velocity).

Meaning that...

When we increase in velocity, that is acceleration. [A]

When we stay at the same velocity, that is zero acceleration. [B]

<em>> (we are not increasing {acceleration} or decreasing {deceleration} in velocity/ acceleration over time)</em>

When we decrease in velocity, that is deceleration. [C]

When we have <em>no</em> velocity (velocity = 0), that is zero velocity. [D]

So, this curve is already in order of A-B-C-D.

(origin/0 to A = acceleration)

(A to B = zero acceleration)

(B to C = deceleration)

(C to S = zero velocity)

hope this helps!!

if change in blood pressure between the brain and the feet is 1.88×10^4 pa .what will be the volume flow rate from head to feet

klio [65]

Answer: $3765.66 \frac{m^{3}}{s}$

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using the <u>Poiseuille equation</u>:

$Q=\frac{\pi r^{4}\Delta P}{8\eta L}$

Where:

$Q$ is the Volume flow rate

$r=23 cm \frac{1 m}{100 cm}=0.23 m$ is the effective radius

$L=6 ft \frac{0.3048 m}{1 ft}=1.8288 m$ is the length

$\Delta P=1.88(10)^{4} Pa$ is the difference in pressure

$\eta=3(10)^{-3} Pa.s$ is the viscosity of blood

Solving:

$Q=\frac{\pi (0.23 m)^{4}(1.88(10)^{4} Pa)}{8(3(10)^{-3} Pa.s)(1.8288 m)}$

$Q=3765.66 \frac{m^{3}}{s}$

A person travels by car from one city to an-

Mademuasel [1]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

First, let's refer to the distance formula:

$d=v*t$ , where d is distance, v is velocity or speed and t is time.

Now, let's find the distance covered by each individual speed that the car had:

<h3>1. Speed 1.</h3>

In order to use the formula, we need to convert minutes into hours since the speed is given in km/h.

21.1 min/60= 0.35 h.

Now, apply the distance formula.

d=(0.35h)*(86.8km/h)= 30.38 km.

<h3>2. Speed 2.</h3>

Convert minutes to hours again and do the same calculations.

10.6min/60=0.18h

d=(0.18h)*(106km/h)= 19.08 km.

<h3>3. Speed 3.</h3>

36.5min/60= 0.61h

d=(0.61h)*(30.9km/h)= 18.85 km.

<h3>4. Obtain the total distance.</h3>

The total distance must be given by the addition of all individual distances traveled by the car on each speed:

Total distance= 30.38 km + 19.08 km + 18.85 km= 68.31 km.

The moon doesn't fall to earth because of it's friction?

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The Moon does not fall towards Earth right now because Earth rotates itself. The energy from the Earth's own rotation around its axis is gradually tranferred into energy of the Moon's orbital motion. That's why the Earth's rotating speed decreases but the distance to the Moon increases.
