When a wave is absorbed by a medium, its energy is transferred to the medium. The energy is most often transformed into thermal

energy. What measurement could you make to confirm the transfer and transformation of wave energy?

Answer:

TEMPERATURE

Explanation:

When a wave is absorbed by a material medium, different phenomena occur, but the collisions with the other particles causes the energy to be transformed into internal energy in the atoms and molecules of the material, with TEMPERATURE measurements the increase in the internal energy of the material.

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Approximately 4.61\times 10^{3}\; {\rm N} upwards (assuming that g = 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}.)

Explanation:

External forces on this astronaut:

  • Weight (gravitational attraction) from the earth (downwards,) and
  • Normal force from the floor (upwards.)

Let (\text{normal force}) denote the magnitude of the normal force on this astronaut from the floor. Since the direction of the normal force is opposite to the direction of the gravitational attraction, the magnitude of the net force on this astronaut would be:

\begin{aligned}(\text{net force}) &= (\text{normal force}) - (\text{weight})\end{aligned}.

Let m denote the mass of this astronaut. The magnitude of the gravitational attraction on this astronaut would be (\text{weight}) = m\, g.

Let a denote the acceleration of this astronaut. The magnitude of the net force on this astronaut would be (\text{net force}) = m\, a.

Rearrange \begin{aligned}(\text{net force}) &= (\text{normal force}) - (\text{weight})\end{aligned} to obtain an expression for the magnitude of the normal force on this astronaut:

\begin{aligned}(\text{normal force}) &= (\text{net force}) + (\text{weight}) \\ &= m\, a + m\, g \\ &= m\, (a + g) \\ &= 80.9\; {\rm kg} \times (47.2\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}} + 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}) \\ &\approx 4.61 \times 10^{3}\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}.

PLEASE HELP ASAP 98 POINTS!!!!!!! ALL I NEED YOU GUYS TO DO IS WRITE A ONE PARAGRAPH REFLECTION ON ECLIPSES AND WRITE IT AS IF Y
makvit [3.9K]

A eclipse starts when one object in space is blocking an observer. Most commonly known as the moon blocking the sun. For us having a visual on eclipses we normally have two eclipses. We have the solar eclipse and the lunar eclipse. These are both very important on the timing and the cycles of the moon. A solar eclipse happens when the moon moves in front of the sun. This will cause a shadow to fall on only a few certain places on earth. Then a lunar eclipse is when the Sun, moon, and earth are perfectly aligned. With the earth being the middle the Sun casts its rays and causes a huge shadow on the moon.

Hope this helped!

A cart starting from rest rolls down a frictionless 1.0 m high hill. It travels a distance 2.0 m along the rough bottom surface
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Explanation:

Given data

Height of the hill = AB = 1 m

Distance traveled  along the rough bottom surface = AC = 2 m

Now from the ΔABC

\sin \theta = \frac{AB}{AC}

\sin \theta = \frac{1}{2}

\theta = 30 °

We know that  the coefficient of kinetic friction is

\mu = \tan \theta

\mu = \tan 30

\mu = 0.5

This is the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction

Thus option B is correct.
