If you increase the elasticity of a material, what happens to the speed of a mechanical wave going through it?

Physics

Sophie [7]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

At the molecular level, materials are held together by bonds, which act like springs for small displacements from the equilibrium spacing between neighboring atoms. Push the atoms close, the bond pushes back to keep them apart. Pull them apart, the bond pulls the atoms closer. For those small displacements, it acts like a spring

The speed of the wave will be related to the stiffness of of those springs - you compress the material - how quickly do all of those little springs rebound and push their neighboring atoms away, sending that wave of compression through the material.

Answer:

According to Newton's 2nd law

The force acting on a body produces acceleration in its direction which is directly propotional to the force but inversly propotinal to the mass of tbe body.

Explanation:

a = F/m

F = ma

Where( F) is force (m) is mass and (a) is acceleration.

Ksivusya [100]
It's not true.

The crucial principle for a scientific experiment is to keep only ONE variable at a time.

In this case, the variable of this experiment is actually the tomato is in sunny part or in shady part, instead of whether applying Ca fertilizer.

A plane travels 350 km south along a straight path with an average velocity of 125 km/h to the south. The plane has a 30 minute
faust18 [17]
Average Velocity = Total Displacement / Total time

1st part of journey,  350 km at velocity 125 km/h

Time = 350 / 125 = 2.8 hours.

2nd part of journey,  220 km at velocity 115 km/h

Time = 220 / 115 = 1.9 hours


Average Velocity = Total Displacement / Total time

                               = (350 + 220) / (2.8 + 1.9)

                                =   570 / 4.7  ≈ 121.3 km/hr

Average Velocity ≈ 121 km/hr due south.
