What is the difference between pulse and periodic waves, and what is the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves?

<u>Difference between pulse and periodic waves:</u>

A pulse wave is a sudden disturbance in which only one wave or a few waves are generated, such as in the example of the pebble. Thunder and explosions also create pulse waves. A periodic wave repeats the same oscillation for several cycles, such as in the case of the wave pool, and is associated with simple harmonic motion. Each particle in the medium experiences simple harmonic motion in periodic waves by moving back and forth periodically through the same positions.

<u>Difference between longitudinal and transverse waves:</u>

A transverse wave propagates when the disturbance is perpendicular to the propagation direction. An example of a transverse wave is where a woman moves a toy spring up and down, generating waves that propagate away from herself in the horizontal direction while disturbing the toy spring in the vertical direction.

In a longitudinal wave, the disturbance is parallel to the propagation direction. Example of longitudinal wave is where the woman now makes a disturbance in the horizontal direction—which is the same direction as the wave propagation—by stretching and then compressing the toy spring.

Explain how thermal energy (temperature) affects chemical changes.
Monica [59]
If bonds are broken, the energy is released, and if bonds are formed, energy is absorbed. During conversions from chemical energy to thermal energy, the energy stored in the chemical bonds are released and this energy causes surrounding molecules to move faster thus increasing the thermal energy of a substance.

Which statements are true concerning Newton's law of gravitation? The gravitational force is related to the mass of each object.
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The gravitational force is related to the mass of each object.

The gravitational force is an attractive force.

Explanation:

Gravitational force is a long range force of attraction between any two masses.

Mathematically given as :

F=G.\frac{m_1.m_2}{r^2}

where:

m_1 & m_2 are the masses

r= distance between the center of mass of the two objects.

G= gravitational constant = 6.67\times 10^{-11} m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{-2}

From the above relation of eq. (1) it is clear that,

Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance and directly proportional to the masses.

The mass of an object is independent of its size due to the fact that density may vary for different objects.

The force of gravity varies with height as:

\frac{g}{g_x} =(\frac{r_x}{r} )^2

where:

g=9.8\,m.s^{-2}

g_x= gravity at height r_x of the center of mass of the object from the center of mass of the earth.

and we know that force:

F=m\times g

where: m= mass of the object.

A fisherman has caught a very large, 5.0 kg fish from a dock that is 2.0 m above the water. He is using lightweight fishing line
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The least amount of time in which the fisherman can raise the fish to the  dock without losing it is t= 2 seconds.

Explanation:

m= 5 kg

h= 2m

Fmax= 54 N

g= 9.8 m/s²

W= m * g

W= 49 N

F= Fmax - W

F= 5 N

F=m*a

a= F/m

a= 1 m/s²

h= a * t²/2

t= √(2*h/a)

t= 2 seconds
