In a compressional wave the denser the medium is at the compressions the smaller is amplitude?

1 answer:

5 0

Wellll, let me think about that ...

I don't think I'd agree that you can characterize the amplitude of
a wave according to the density at only one point in it. After all ...
a tiny wave in steel would be much denser at a compression than
a huge wave in air would be.

The amplitude of any wave is described as the difference between
a peak and the resting value. Or even better ... half of the difference
between a maximum and a minimum.

So if you're looking at a longitudinal wave, like sound, I'd say if you
want to describe its amplitude, then you have to look at the density
at two points ... either the difference between the compression and
the resting densities, or the difference between the greatest compression
and the greatest rarefaction.

That's my opinion. I could be wrong.

A car drives to the east in a time of 4 hours. Then, immediately (not realistic, but just assume this is the case for this probl

diamong [38]

Answer:

Average speed in east direction $speed=\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{28}{4}=7km/hr$

Explanation:

We have given average speed of the entire trip = 5 km/hr

First the car 4 hours then travels 12 km in 4 hours

So total time of the trip = 4+4 = 8 hours

So total distance traveled in the trip $d=speed\times time = 5\times 8=40km$

As the car travel 12 km in 4 hours to the west

So distance traveled in 4 hour in east = 40 -12 = 28 km

Time in east direction = 4 hour

So average speed in east direction $speed=\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{28}{4}=7km/hr$

Place the following steps in order for motor control. 1. Upper motor neurons stimulate lower motor neurons. 2. Sensory informati

Alla [95]

Answer:

3, 5, 1, 4, 2

Explanation:

When the body needs to move, certain muscles need to be stimulated in order to perform a certain movement. There is a process that is followed that starts with the brain sending a signal, and ends with the movement being performed by the body.

3. This is the first step, because a pathway needs to be established before any electric impulses can be sent. Hence, the upper motor neurons in the premotor cortex need to choose a pathway (known as a motor program).

5. This is the second step, because once a pathway has been established, a signal needs to be sent down that pathway. Hence, the basal nuclei enable the thalamus to stimulate the upper motor neurons to send an electrical impulse down the pathway.

1. This is the third step, because once the upper motor neurons have been stimulated, they send an electrical impulse to stimulate the lower motor neurons.

4. This is the forth step, because once the electrical impulse reaches the lower motor neurons, they pass the impulse to a certain group of skeletal muscles, causing them to contract.

2. This is the final step, because once the skeletal muscles have contracted, the body has completed its movement. However, once the body has moved, sensory information is relayed to the cerebellum to ensure that the correct movement is made, and if it needs to be adjusted, then the whole process will start again in order to correct the movement.

A railroad car moves under a grain elevator at a constant speed of 3.20 m/s. Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min.

dedylja [7]

Answer:

F = 768 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the elevator, v = 3.2 m/s

Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min, $\dfrac{dm}{dt}=240\ kg/min = 4\ kg/s$

We need to find the magnitude of force needed to keep the car moving constant speed. The relation between the momentum and the force is given by :

$F=\dfrac{dp}{dt}$
