Answer: The answer is number is two

Explanation: Because as it says there is a large drop, so the water will still have a lot of kinetic energy to transfer to the turbine.

A stone is dropped from the edge of a roof, and hits the ground with a velocity of -180 feet per second. How high (in feet) is t

Neko [114]

Answer:

d = 506.25 ft

Explanation:

As we know by kinematics that

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

here we know that initially the stone is dropped from rest from the edge of the roof

so here initial speed will be zero

now we have

$v_i = 0$

also the acceleration of the stone is due to gravity which is given as

$g = 32 ft/s^2$

now we have

$v_f = 180 ft/s$

so from above equation

$180^2 - 0 = 2(32)d$

$d = 506.25 ft$

A wave has a wavelength of 4.9 m and a velocity of 9.8 m/s. The medium through which this wave is traveling is then heated so th

garri49 [273]

Answer:

the wavelength is 9.8 meters

Explanation:

We can use the relationship:

Velocity = wavelenght*frequency.

Initially we have:

wavelenght = 4.9m

velocity = 9.8m/s

then:

9.8m/s = 4.9m*f

f = 9.8m/s/4.9m = 2*1/s

now, if the velocity is doubled and the frequency remains the same, we have:

2*9.8m/s = wavelenght*2*1/s

wavelenght = (2*9.8m/s)*(1/2)s = 9.8 m

Light waves have some similarities with water and sound waves, but they are not exactly the same. Describe all the differences y

makkiz [27]

Answer:

<h2>All the waves are pertubations that propagate (transport) energy.</h2><h2></h2>

Nevertheless, they have some differences:

1. Light waves are electromagnetic waves, while sound and water waves are mechanical waves, this is the first and principal difference.

2. Electromagnetic waves can propagate in vacuum (they do not need a medium or material), but mechanical waves obligatory need a material to propagate

3. Light waves are always transversal waves, this means the oscillatory movement is in a direction that is perpendicular to the propagation; but mechanical waves may be both: longitudinal waves (the oscillation occurs in the same direction as the propagation) or transversal waves.

4. Electromagnetic waves propagates at a constant velocity (Light velocity) while the velocity of mechanical waves will depend on the type of wave and the density of the medium or material.

5. Mechanical waves are characterized by the regular variation of a single magnitude, while electromagnetic waves are characterized by the variation of two magnitudes: the electric field and the magnetic field

6. Water waves are 2-dimensional waves, while the light and the sound are tridimensional spherical waves

7. Light waves transports energy in the form of radiation, while mechanical waves transport energy with material
