Physics

elixir [45]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Transverse Waves do not require a medium to travel

Explanation:

Two major types of energy waves are longitudinal waves and transverse waves. A longitudinal wave is a wave where the particles of matter in the medium move in a parallel direction to the motion of the wave. This shows the energy transport and particle movement. The particles of matter only move temporarily. A wave is transferred energy it does not transfer particles of matter. A transverse wave is a wave in which the particles of matter in the medium move in a perpendicular direction to the motion of the wave.

Why do you not come to thermal equilibrium on a cold day
Tju [1.3M]

Two physical systems are in thermal equilibrium if no heat flows between them when they are connected by a path permeable to heat. Thermal equilibrium obeys the zeroth law of thermodynamics. A system is said to be in thermal equilibrium with itself if the temperature within the system is spatially and temporally uniform.

Systems in thermodynamic equilibrium are always in thermal equilibrium, but the converse is not always true. If the connection between the systems allows transfer of energy as heat but does not allow transfer of matter or transfer of energy as work, the two systems may reach thermal equilibrium without reaching thermodynamic equilibrium.

How do the amplitudes of a 120 decibel sound and a 100-decibel sound compare?​
NemiM [27]
The 120 decibel sound has more amplitude than the 100 decibel sound.

In Physics, the relation between amplitude and intensity is that the intensity of the wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.

The efficiency of a modern bicycle is 95% if you exert 200 Joules of input work pedaling a bicycle on level ground what is the u
Delvig [45]

Answer:

95 J

Explanation:

You can calculate efficiency by dividing useful output by total input, then multiplying it to 100.

So the foumula goes like:

Efficiency= (Useful output/Total input)x100

In this question,

Efficiency= 95%

Useful output= x

Total input= 200

Therefore;

95=(x/200)x100

0.95=x/100

x=0.95x100

x=95 Joules
