Compare and contrast a transverse wave and a compressional wave Give an example for each type

Physics

Answer:

Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of the wave (e.g. any electromagnetic wave like radiowaves, x-rays...) whilst compressional waves oscillate in the same direction of the wave (e.g. sound waves)

The mean distance of an asteroid from the Sun is 2.98 times that of Earth from the Sun. From Kepler's law of periods, calculate
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The asteroid requires 5.14 years to make one revolution around the Sun.

Explanation:

Kepler's third law establishes that the square of the period of a planet will be proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit:

T^{2} = a^{3} (1)

Where T is the period of revolution and a is the semi-major axis.

In the other hand, the distance between the Earth and the Sun has a value of 1.50x10^{8} Km. That value can be known as well as an astronomical unit (1AU).

But 1 year is equivalent to 1 AU according with Kepler's third law, since 1 year is the orbital period of the Earth.

For the special case of the asteroid the distance will be:

a = 2.98(1.50x10^{8}Km)

a = 4.47x10^{8}Km

That distance will be expressed in terms of astronomical units:

4.47x10^{8}Km.\frac{1AU}{1.50x10^{8}Km} ⇒ 2.98AU

Finally, from equation 1 the period T can be isolated:

T = \sqrt{a^{3}}

T = \sqrt{(2.98)^{3}}  

T = \sqrt{26.463592}

T = 5.14AU

Then, the period can be expressed in years:

5.14AU.\frac{1yr}{1AU} ⇒ 5.14 yr

T = 5.14 yr

Hence, the asteroid requires 5.14 years to make one revolution around the Sun.

What is the period of the kinetic or the potential energy change if the period of position change of an object attached to a spr
mylen [45]

Answer: 2.2 s

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic motion problem. A simple Harmonic motion can be defined as special type of periodic oscillation where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement. The restoring force then acts in the direction opposite to the displacement.

All simple harmonic motion is sinusoidal.

PERIOD is the time required to complete a full cycle.

From the question, the period of position change of an object attached to a spring is 4.4 s. There are two potential energy and two kinetic energy maxima per period, therefore, we have 4.4/2 = 2.2 s.
