Sounds travels in a ____ wave A. Transverse B. Compressional C. Surface D. Inverted

MissTica

Answer: A. Transverse

Explanation:

Sound is a mechanical transverse wave, it travels faster in solids than in liquids or gases. This is because the speed of the mechanical waves is determined by a relationship between the elastic properties of the medium in which they are propagated and the mass per unit volume of the medium.

In addition, the speed of sound varies with changes in the temperature of the medium. This is because an increase in temperature means that the frequency of interactions between the particles that transport the vibration increases, hence this increase in activity increases the speed.

Hence:

When u step on the brakes what energy transformation takes place describe the transformation

larisa [96]

Before you step on the brakes, the car has kinetic energy, when you step on the brakes, it turns the kinetic energy into heat (thermal energy). When it stops completely, it has potential energy. Hope this helped :)

A 87.0 kg astronaut is working on the engines of a spaceship that is drifting through space with a constant velocity. The astron

Ket [755]

Answer:

259.62521 seconds

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of astronaut = 87 kg

$m_2$ = Mass of wrench = 0.57 kg

$v_1$ = Velocity of astronaut

$v_2$ = Velocity of wrench = 22.4 m/s

Here, the linear momentum is conserved

$m_1v_1=m_2v_2\\\Rightarrow v_1=\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=\frac{0.57\times 22.4}{87}\\\Rightarrow v_1=0.14675\ m/s$

Time = Distance / Speed

$Time=\frac{38.1}{0.14675}=259.62521\ s$

The time taken to reach the ship is 259.62521 seconds

A muon is a short-lived particle. It is found experimentally that muonsmoving at speed 0.9ccan travel about 1500 meters between

Monica [59]

Answer:

a) $t=5.5\mu s$

b) $\Delta t'=12.5\mu s$

Explanation:

a) Let's use the constant velocity equation:

$v=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

v is the speed of the muon. 0.9*c
c is the speed of light 3*10⁸ m/s

$t=\frac{\Delta x}{v}=\frac{1500}{0.9*(3*10^{8})}$

$t=5.5\mu s$

b) Here we need to use Lorentz factor because the speed of the muon is relativistic. Hence the time in the rest frame is the product of the Lorentz factor times the time in the inertial frame.

$\Delta t'=\gamma\Delta t$

$\gamma =\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

v is the speed of muon (0.9c)

Therefore the time in the rest frame will be:

$\Delta t'=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.9c)^{2}}{c^{2}}}}\Delta t$

$\Delta t'=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-0.9^{2}}}\Delta t$

$\Delta t'=\frac{1}{0.44}\Delta t$

No we use the value of Δt calculated in a)

$\Delta t'=2.27*5.5=12.5\mu s$

I hope it helps you!

Two balls are thrown from a cliff. One is thrown directly up, the other directly down. Both balls have the same initial speed, a

Otrada [13]

Answer:

both the same

Explanation:

When a ball is thrown vertically upwards, it experiences that same acceleration due to gravity as an object thrown directly downwards.

This means that if we ignore the effects of air resistance, and the two balls have the same initial speed, they are expected both expected to hit the ground at the same speed as a result of the principle of conservation of energy.
