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.

What are the two types of electrical circuits
uysha [10]

Series Circuit
A series circuit there is only one path for the electrons to flow (see image of series circuit). The main disadvantage of a series circuit is that if there is a break in the circuit the entire circuit is open and no current will flow. An example of a series would the the lights on many inexpensive Christmas trees. If one light goes out all of them will.



Parallel Circuit
In a parallel circuit the different parts of the electric circuit are on several different branches. There are several different paths that electrons can flow. If there is a break in one branch of the circuit electrons can still flow in other branches (see image of parallel circuit). Your home is wired in a parallel circuit so if one light bulb goes out the other will stay on.

Which is greater the attraction of the earth for 1 kg of aluminum or aluminum or attraction of 1kg of aluminum for the earth?
OleMash [197]
Those forces are exactly equal.

Gravity always works as a pair of <em>EQUAL</em> forces ... one in each direction
between two masses.  Your weight on the Earth is exactly the same as
the Earth's weight on you.

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

300 miles per hour

Explanation:

Speed is distance per unit time, expressed as s=d/t where t is the time taken, d is distance covered and s is the speed.

Convering s to hrs

To convert seconds to hours, we knkw that 1 hour has 60 minutes and each minute has 60 seconds. Therefore, 1 hour has 60*60=3600 seconds

If 3600s=1 h

60 s=?

By cross multiplication 60s*1 h/3600s=1/60 hours

Given distance as 5 miles and time as 1/60 hours then the speed will be 5 divided by 1/60 hrs which is equivalent to 5*60=300 miles per hour
