What is a soundwave please quick

1 answer:

5 0

In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave, through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid. In human physiology and psychology, sound is the reception of such waves and their perception by the brain.

When is the magnitude of the acceleration of a mass on a spring at its maximum value?

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

A. when the mass has a speed of zero

Explanation:

In mass-spring system, the velocity and the acceleration are in anti-phase, which means that when one of the two quantities is maximum, the other one is zero, and vice-versa.

In fact:

- When the displacement of the spring is zero (x=0), the velocity is maximum, due to conservation of energy. In fact, as the displacement is zero, the elastic potential energy of the system (given by $\frac{1}{2}kx^2$ ) is zero, therefore the kinetic energy (given by $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ ) must be maximum, and so the velocity (v) is also maximum. On the cotnrary, acceleration (a) is directly proportional to the restoring force of the spring, given by

$F=-kx$

so we see that when x=0, then the force is zero: F=0, and so the acceleration is zero as well.

On the cotnrary, since acceleration (a) is directly proportional to the restoring force of the spring, given by

$F=-kx$

so we see that when x=maximum, then the force is maximum, and so the acceleration is maximum as well.

Based on this, the correct answer is

A. when the mass has a speed of zero

Technician A says that current is created in the stator windings of an alternator. Technician B says that the voltage regulator

drek231 [11]

Answer:

Technician A and Technician B both are right.

Explanation:

In an AC alternator, there are two windings

1. Stator winding (stationary)

2. Rotor winding (rotating)

The current is induced in the stationary coils due to the magnetic field produced by the rotor. The DC suppy is provided to the rotor winding via slip rings and brushes and a voltage regulator precisely controls this supply to control the current flow through the rotor.

Therefore, both technicians are right.

Increasing which two things would increase gravitational potential energy?

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Mass and height

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about $9.8 m/s2.$

Which is represented as;

$PE_g=mgh$

$PE_g$ stands for gravitational potantial energy,

m stands for mass of object,

g is the gravitational constant and

h is the height.

Here we see that mass of object and height is directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy.

That means increasing in mass and height will result in increasing gravitational potential energy.
