What's the difference between mechanical waves and vibrations

1 answer:

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.

<span>The first stage in the Gas model of stress is alarm and mobilization. So the correct option in regards to the given question is option “d”. Hans Selye is the person that evolved this model and he has explained this model in complete details. He has broken down his model into three stages. The first stage involves alarm and mobilization. The second stage includes resistance. The third and the final stage include the exhaustion stage. These are the stages that an organism goes through to restore back the balance when stress is exerted from outside. </span>

Masja [62]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the work theorem for which it is defined as the product of Force and distance. In turn, we will use the energy conservation theorem for which the applied work must be equivalent to the total kinetic energy on the body.

The work is defined as

$W = Fd$
