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

Physics
1 answer:
Sophie [7]3 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.

Describe what happens to chromosomes before mitosis.
Brums [2.3K]

Explanation:

Before mitosis, the chromosomes are copied. They then coil up, and each chromosome looks like a letter X in the nucleus of the cell. The chromosomes now consist of two sister chromatids. Mitosis separates these chromatids, so that each new cell has a copy of every chromosome

8. Ella wants to replace old bulbs of her home with new LED bulbs. She buys LED bulb that has inbuilt AC to DC converter of outp
tankabanditka [31]

The power dissipated by the LED is 20 Watts and the work done for 1 hour 15 minutes is 56.25 kJ.

<h3>What is electrical power?</h3>

Electrical power is the rate at which electrical work is done.

  • Electrical power = voltage × current

The LED is 75% efficient means that 75% of power dissipated by the LED is converted to light.

Total power dissipated = 5 × 2.5 = 12.5 Watts

  • Work done = power × time (in seconds)

Work done = 12.5 × (1 × 3600 + 15 × 60)

Work done = 56250 J = 56.25 kJ

Therefore, the power dissipated by the LED is 20 Watts and the work done for 1 hour 15 minutes is 56.25 kJ.
