What's the difference between mechanical waves and vibrations

Physics
1 answer:
OlgaM077 [116]3 years ago
7 0

A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission—the material—is limited. Therefore, the oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position.

What would the force be on a 14.5 kg object that was accelerating 2.7 m/s^2
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

<h2>39.15 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 14.5 × 2.7

We have the final answer as

<h3>39.15 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

A force acts on a body of mass 13 kg initially at rest. The force
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Force that acted on the body was F = 13 N

Explanation:

If once accelerated, the body covers 60 meters in 6 seconds, then its velocity is 60/6 m/s = 10 m/s

When the force was acting (for 10 seconds) the object accelerated from rest (initial velocity vi = 0) to 10 m/s (its final velocity). therefore we can use the kinematic equation for the velocity in an accelerated motion given by:

v_f=v_i+a*t

which in our case becomes;

10\,m/s=0+a*(10\,s)

and we can solve for the acceleration as:

a = 10/10  m/s^2 = 1 m/s^2

Therefore the force acting on the body, based on Newton's 2nd Law expression: F = m * a is:

F = 13 kg * 1 m/s^2 = 13 N

A piano string having a mass per unit length of 5.00 g/m is under a tension of 1350 N. Determine the speed of transverse waves i
padilas [110]

Answer:

The speed of transverse waves in this string is 519.61 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass per unit length = 5.00 g/m

Tension = 1350 N

We need to calculate the speed of transverse waves in this string

Using formula of speed of the transverse waves

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}

Where, \mu = mass per unit length

T = tension

Put the value into the formula

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{1350}{5.00\times10^{-3}}}

v =519.61\ m/s

Hence, The speed of transverse waves in this string is 519.61 m/s.

Describe the relationship between input force, output force,<br>and load force.​
g100num [7]

Answer: the relationship between the input force and output force is that, Input Force represents the amount of force that you put into another object (which is considered as the load force) while Output Force represents the force that a specific object has as a result of the input force.

Explanation:

Using a lever as an example, a broom is a lever used to sweep floors, the input force is applied by one of the arm used in sweeping, while the output force is on the other edge of the broom (broom tip)
