What is a wave in sound and light

Physics
2 answers:
frez [133]3 years ago

Answer:

Light waves are electromagnetic waves while sound waves are mechanical waves. Light waves are transverse while sound waves are longitudinal. Light waves can travel in vacuum. Sound waves require a material medium to travel, and hence, cannot travel in vacuum. The speed of light in a medium is constant. (i hope i helped youuu)

Gauss's law combines the electric field over a surface with the area of the surface. From Coulomb's law we know that the electri
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The change in surface area of Gaussian surface with radius (r) is 8πr.

<h3>Electric field from Coulomb's law</h3>

The electric field experienced by a charge is calculated as follows;

E = \frac{Q}{4\pi \varepsilon_o r^2}

where;

  • E is the electric field
  • Q is the charge
  • r is the radius

The electric field reduces by a factor of \frac{1}{r^2}

<h3>Surface area of a Gaussian surface;</h3>

The surface area of a sphere is given as;

A = 4\pi r^2

<h3>Change in area with r</h3>

\frac{dA}{dr} = 8\pi r

Thus, the change in surface area of Gaussian surface with radius (r) is 8πr.

Juggles the clown stands on one end of a teeter-totter at rest on the ground. Bangles the clown jumps off a platform 2.4 m above
tester [92]

Answer:

mj = 53.3kg

Explanation:

Since both gravitational energies are the same:

Eb = Ej   =>   mb*g*hb = mj*g*hj

Solving for mj:

mj = mb*hb/hj = 80*2.4/3.6

mj = 53.3kg

The parking brake on a 1200kg automobile has broken, and the vehicle has reached a momentum of 7800kg.m/s. What is the velocity
liraira [26]

Answer:

Velocity of the vehicle (v) = 6.5 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of automobile (m) = 1200 kg

Momentum of vehicle (p) = 7800 kg m/s

By using formula of momentum:

\rm p = mv \\  \rm 7800 = 1200 \times v \\  \rm v =  \frac{7800}{1200}  \\  \rm v = 6.5  \: m {s}^{ - 1}

A Shaolin monk of mass 60 kg is able to do a ‘finger stand’: he supports his whole weight on his two index fingers, giving him a
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

P = 1471500 [Pa]

Explanation:

We must remember that pressure is defined as the relationship between Force over the area.

P=F/A

where:

P = pressure [Pa] (units of pascals)

F = force [N] (units of Newtons)

A = area of contact = 4 [cm²]

But first we must convert from cm² to m²

A = 4[cm^{2}]*\frac{1^{2} m^{2} }{100^{2} cm^{2} }

A = 0.0004 [m²]

Also, the weight should be calculated as follows:

w = m*g

where:

m = mass = 60 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

Now replacing:

w = 60*9.81\\w = 588.6[N]

And the pressure:

P=588.6/0.0004\\P=1471500 [Pa]

Because 1 [Pa] = 1 [N/m²]
