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]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.

aalyn [17]

Answer:Technician A

Explanation:

Technician A statement is correct as  

The battery is required to start the vehicle which, in effect, rotates the alternator at sufficient speed to keep the battery charged. This means if the battery is low it is not possible to start the vehicle and thus we are unable to test the alternator.  

That is the battery is pre-requisite to test the alternator. So the battery must be at least a 75 % charge to test the alternator.

Why are the wheels on a roller coaster hot after a ride. (I know it’s due to friction but I need more of a detailed answer).
telo118 [61]
2 someone's glasses could fall of because of the inertia
roller coaster is in motion but your glasses are opposing and resisting that motion due to inertia....

1 there is a possibility that electrons move from wheels to the rail and vice versa which also means that it is producing some kind of electrical energy
