A sound wave is called a longitudinal wave? why?Give reason

Physics

3 0

Answer:

A sound wave is called a longitudinal wave because compressions and rarefactions in the air produce it. The air particles vibrate parallel to the direction of propagation.

force of 10 lb is required to hold a spring stretched 4 in. beyond its natural length. How much work W is done in stretching it
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Given force=10lb

L1=4in converting to feet

But 0.08333ft= 1 inch

Then 4 inch is 0.3332

6inch is 0.49998

But hookes law states

F=Kx where F is force,K is the force constant ,X

K=F/X=10/0.3333=30N/m

Integrating this

Integral of 30x with limit 0.333 to 0.5

F=30x^2/2=15x^2substing the limit

F=(15(0.5^2-0.33^2)=2.08ft-lb

Betty weighs 420 n and she is sitting on a playground swing seat that hangs 0.40 m above the ground. tom pulls the swing back an
Svet_ta [14]
Weight = mass * gravity
420 = mass * 9.8
mass of Betty = 42.857 kg

Difference in height = 1 - 0.45 = 0.55 meters

Total energy = Kinetic energy + potential energy

At the highest point, the kinetic energy is zero while the potential energy is maximum, therefore, we can get the total energy as follows:
Total energy = 0 + mgh
Total energy = 42.857*9.8*0.55 = 231 Joules

At the lowest point, the potential energy is zero while the kinetic energy is maximum. Therefore:
Total energy = 0.5 * m * (v)^2 + 0
231 = 0.5 * (42.857) * (velocity)^2
(velocity)^2 = 10.78
velocity = 3.28 meters/sec

How well would a piece of hot metal heat the cool water ?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer: When the hot metal washers are placed in the room temperature water, the faster-moving metal atoms hit the slower-moving water molecules and make the water molecules move a little faster. This causes the temperature of the water to increase.

What are the 3 base units of measurement ?
Artist 52 [7]

In the SI (International, metric) system of measurement, they are the Kilogram of mass, the Meter of length, and the Second of time.  

With mass, length, and time, you can combine them in enough ways to measure ALMOST everything that can be measured in the physical world, like speed, velocity, acceleration, momentum, area, volume, force, energy, pressure, etc.

'Almost'. You still need a few more to wrap things up.  The other quantities (and their SI units) are:  Electric charge (the Coulomb), temperature (the Kelvin), amount of a substance (the Mol), and luminous intensity (the Candela).  You can't build these with only mass, length, and time.
