Paha777 [63]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Material medium

compressions and rarefactions

Explanation:

A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. All mechanical waves require a material medium for propagation. The medium for the propagation of sound is air. This is the reason why, if you cover your mouth, it will be difficult for another person to hear whatever you are saying.

Sound is also a longitudinal wave. Longitudinal waves are described in terms of compressions and rarefactions. Compressions refer to areas where air molecules crowd together while rarefactions refer to areas where the air molecules spread out.

Find the westward component of a resultant vector 85.42 unit, 23 degrees W of N
Sindrei [870]

Since the angle is West of North, therefore to find for the westward component (horizontal component) of the vector, we use the sin function:

sin θ = opposite side / hypotenuse = westward component / resultant vector

So the westward component (x) is:

x = 85.42 sin 23

<span>x = 33.38 unit</span>

Alice kicks a 0.25 kg soccer ball with 0.5 N of force. What force does the ball exert on Alice’s foot as she kicks it
Lelechka [254]
You do not doubt it. The third Law of Newton really works. I would say it is the most reliable law of the Universe. Action and reaction. It is not subject to special conditions, it works always. If an object exerts a force over other object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude but in the opposed direction over the first.

So, the answer, undoubtedly, is that the ball exerts a force of 0.5 N over Alices's foot as she kicks it.

A notebook sitting on a desk has 19 j of potential energy. What is the total mechanical energy of the notebook?
Alex17521 [72]

The total mechanical energy of the notebook is <u><em>19J</em></u>.

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.  It has no kinetic energy, because it's not moving.  So its potential energy is all the  mechanical energy it has.
