What is the term that describes waves that require a medium through which to travel?

Physics
1 answer:
gladu [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium. This means that they have to have some sort of matter to travel through. These waves travel when molecules in the medium collide with each other passing on energy. One example of a mechanical wave is sound.

Which of these is true about kinetic energy but not necessarily true about potential energy
cestrela7 [59]

Kinetic energy is never negative, but potential energy can be.

Potential energy depends on height above some reference level,
and you can pick any level you want as the reference.  So, if the
object is below the reference level you pick, then its potential
energy relative to your reference level is negative. 

What that means is:  You have to lift it / do work on it / give it more
energy than it has now ... in order to move it to the reference level.

(That's exactly the situation with electrons bound to an atom.  Their
energy is considered negative, because we have to do work and
give them more energy to rip them away from the atom.)
_____________________________________

Regarding the other choices:

-- Kinetic energy is scalar ... Yes.  So is potential energy.

-- Kinetic energy increases with height ...
   No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

-- Kinetic energy depends on position ...
   No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

Conduction transfers Thermal energy by
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Conduction is the transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other. The better the conductor, the more rapidly heat will be transferred. Metal is a good conduction of heat. Conduction occurs when a substance is heated, particles will gain more energy, and vibrate more.

PLEASE HELP, LOOK AT PHOTO PLZ!!!
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

a) 17 km

b) 9 km

Explanation:

The distance is the length of the path.

A to C: 5 km

B to C: 4 km

C to B: 4 km

B to C: 4 km

Total distance = 5 km + 4 km + 4 km + 4 km = 17 km

Displacement is the difference between the starting point and ending point.

Displacement = 9 km − 0 km = 9 km

A carnival Ferris wheel has a 15-m radius and completes five turns about its horizontal axis every minute. What is the accelerat
Tanzania [10]

If a Ferris wheel has a 15-m radius and completes five turns about its horizontal axis every minute then the acceleration of a passenger at his lowest point during the ride is 4.11 \text{m/s}^{2}.

Calculation:

Step-1:

It is given that the radius of the Ferris wheel is r=15 m, and the angular speed of the wheel is \omega=5rev/min.

It is required to find the angular acceleration of a passenger at his lowest point during the ride.

The formula required to calculate the angular acceleration is, a=\omega ^2 r.

Step-2:

Now substituting the given values into the equation to get the value of the angular acceleration.

\begin{aligned}a &=\omega^{2} r \\&=(5 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{min})^{2}(15 \mathrm{~m}) \\&=\left(5 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{min} \times \frac{\left(\frac{2 \pi}{60}\right) \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{sec}}{1 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{min}}\right)^{2}(15 \mathrm{~m}) \\&=(0.2741 \times 15) \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \\&=4.11 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\end{aligned}

The acceleration is towards upwards that means towards the center of the wheel.
