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.

The flow of electricity can be compared of water in

Anna007 [38]

The flow of electricity can be compared of water in the pipes because both water and electricity moves in the channel.

<h3>How we compare the flow of electricity to water?</h3>

Water flowing in pipes is like flowing of electricity in a circuit. A battery is like a pump from where electricity comes and moves in the circuit. Electrons flowing through wires are like water molecules flowing through pipes. So in comparison between water and electricity, both water and electricity are similar to each other in flowing and movement.

So we can conclude that the flow of electricity can be compared of water in the pipes because both water and electricity moves in the channel.

Do you think seismographs predict earthquakes or measure earthquakes, explain your answer?

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

No. Neither the USGS nor any other scientists have ever predicted a major earthquake. We do not know how, and we do not expect to know how any time in the foreseeable future.

Suppose that a rectangular toroid has 1,500 windings and a self-inductance of 0.060 H. If the height of the rectangular toroid i

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Current in the toroid will be $I=17.32\times 10^{-3}A$

Explanation:

We have given number of winding in rectangular toroid N = 1500

Self inductance of toroid L = 0.06 H

Magnetic energy stored in toroid $E=9\times 10^{-16}J$

We have to find the current in the toroid

Magnetic energy stored is equal to $E=\frac{1}{2}Li^2$

$9\times 10^{-6}=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.06\times I^2$

$I=17.32\times 10^{-3}A$

So current in the toroid will be $I=17.32\times 10^{-3}A$

Two 3.0 μC charges lie on the x-axis, one at the origin and the other at What is the potential (relative to infinity) due to the

Airida [17]

Complete Question:

Two 3.0µC charges lie on the x-axis, one at the origin and the other at 2.0m. A third point is located at 6.0m. What is the potential at this third point relative to infinity? (The value of k is 9.0*10^9 N.m^2/C^2)

Answer:

The potential due to these charges is 11250 V

Explanation:

Potential V is given as;

$V =\frac{Kq}{r}$

where;

K is coulomb's constant = 9x10⁹ N.m²/C²

r is the distance of the charge

q is the magnitude of the charge

The first charge located at the origin, is 6.0 m from the third charge; the potential at this point is:

$V =\frac{9X10^9 X3X10^{-6}}{6} =4500 V$

The second charge located at 2.0 m, is 4.0 m from the third charge; the potential at this point is:

$V =\frac{9X10^9 X3X10^{-6}}{4} =6750 V$

Total potential due to this charges = 4500 V + 6750 V = 11250 V
