Answer:

Simple harmonic motion is the movement of a body or an object to and from an equilibrium position. In a simple harmonic motion, the maximum displacement (also called the amplitude) on one side of the equilibrium position is equal to the maximum displacement.

The force acting on an object must satisfy Hooke's law for the object to undergo simple harmonic motion. The law states that the force must be directed always towards the equilibrium position and also directly proportional to the distance from this position.

Which of the following is a difference between electromagnetic waves and sound waves?

Paul [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

A is wrong as otherwise the ocean would be black as light could not pass through it to create images.

B is wrong. This is a weird one as the electromagnetic spectrum attached below shows that radio waves have the least amount of energy vs gamma which has the highest and you can't really compare this to sound waves.

C just straight up false.

D is correct, no way to remember this, just learn it. a couple of facts about transverse waves of google. Electromagnetic waves are a type of transverse waves. These waves do not require a medium to travel. As the name of the waves imply, these waves show electrical and magnetic properties. No any charge occur in the waves. Electromagnetic waves work by the laws of reflection and refraction. They travel as straight lines in a vacuum at a speed of 3 x 10 8 ms -1.

Extra info:

As gamma waves have the highest energy it means that the waves are closer together (the wavelength is smaller) and they create more heat. Also gamma waves go through everything, X-ray only through skin and bounces of dense things like bones, which creates images. These eventually weaken more and more until radio waves do not pass through anything and just bounces around and everywhere which allows you to gain more coverage on a radio then on a cell phone.

A person drives north 8 blocks, then turns west and drives 4 blocks. The driver then turns south and drives 8 blocks. How could

stealth61 [152]

A person would be driving 4 blocks west from the starting point to make the shorter distance while maintaining same displacement.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The measurement of an object’s position change from its point is called displacement. It is usually calculated from starting to the end points and represented by ‘delta s’. In the given scenarios, the person drove in the way that he finals the driving by 4 blocks away from the west.

Means, the persons drive to 8 blocks north and then to 8 blocks south get cancelled. Hence, to make the shorter distance with maintaining same displacement he would be driving 4 blocks west from the starting point.

As an electron approaches a proton, the electron's force of attraction...

Tems11 [23]

Answer: B. Increases

Explanation:

An electron is a negatively charged particle, while a proton is positively charged.

Opposites attract so as it approaches the proton the force of attraction will increase.

Give two example for push or pull to change the state of motion of time two examples

dolphi86 [110]

Explanation:

An Example of push as a force would be to push on a swing. The force moves the swing in a particular direction and the harder that you push the further the swing will go.

An example of pull as a force would be opening a door. ...

An example of pressure as a force is when you push down on a pile of grapes. is this what you mean

5. A stream of air at 12 bar and 900 K is mixed with another stream of air at 2 bar and 400 K with 2 times the mass flowrate. If

Softa [21]

Answer:

The anserrs to the question are

(a) The temperature would be 566.67 K and

(b) The pressure of the resulting air stream is 14 bar

Explanation:

Here the two streams of gases meet ad form a single stream

The steady-flow energy equation can be implemented at the mixing point of the to streams as follows

mₐhₐ₁ + mₙ hₙ₁ + Q° + W° = mₐhₐ₂ + mₙhₙ₂

Where the flow is adiabatic, we have

Q = 0 and W = 0 hence

mₐhₐ₁ + mₙ hₙ₁ = mₐhₐ₂ + mₙhₙ₂ where h = cp×T we have

mₐcpₐ×Tₐ + mₙcpₙ×Tₙ = mₐcpₐ×T + mₐcpₙ×T

Therefore the final temperature T is given by

$T = \frac{m_ac_{pa}T_a + m_nc_{pn}T_n}{m_ac_{pa} + m_nc_{pn}}$ for the same kind of gas cpₐ =cpₙ therefore

$T = \frac{m_aT_a + m_nT_n}{m_a + m_n}$ where mₐ and mₙ are mass flow rate

Therefore we have where Tₐ = = 900 K and Tₙ = 400 K and mₙ = 2mₐ gives

$T = \frac{m_a*900 + 2*m_a*400}{m_a + 2*m_a}$ = $T = \frac{900 + 800}{1 + 2}$ = 1700/3 = 566.67 K

From Dalton's law, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the components of the mixture

Therefore the total pressure of the combined stream = pₐ + pₙ = p

= 12 bar + 2 bar = 14 bar

Stream pressure = 14 bar
