Sound is an example of a mechanical wave. Mechanical waves are the kinds of waves that cannot be propagated without a medium. As such, these waves cannot travel through a vacuum, just like how sound cannot travel through space, since space is a vacuum.
Answer:
O The particles of the medium move more slowly and there are fewer chances to transfer energy.
Explanation:
Various media are made up of particles. These particles are in constant motion according to the kinetic theory of matter. Recall that temperature has been defined as the average kinetic energy of the particles in a medium. Hence, for any given medium, the velocity of particle motion increases or decreases linearly with temperature.
The speed of particles in any medium increases or decreases as the temperature of the medium increases or decreases as emphasised above. Hence, at low temperature, the velocity of waves set up by the motion of particles in a medium decreases and transfer the wave energy to neighbouring particles occurs more slowly than at high temperatures.
Answer:
1.95 kg
Explanation:
Momentum is conserved.
m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂
0 = (74.9) (-0.215) + m (8.25)
m = 1.95
In Physics, 'work' has a very clear definition:
It's (strength of a force) times (distance through which the force acts).
'Work' has the units of Energy.
If you push against a shopping cart with 30 newtons of force, and
you keep pushing while the cart moves 4 meters, then you have
done (30 x 4) = 120 newton-meters of work = 120 "Joules".
