Mechanical waves are those waves that require a material medium for propagation.

<h3>What are mechanical waves?</h3>

Generally, we define a wave as a disturbance along a medium which transfers energy. It then follows that waves move energy from one point to another.

Waves can be classified as;

Mechanical waves
Electromagnetic waves

Mechanical waves are those waves that require a material medium for propagation such as sound, and waves on a strings.

Answer:

<em>A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. </em>

<u>A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. </u>

video for A door 1 m wide, of mass 15 kg, is hinged at one side so that it can rotate without friction about a vertical axis. It

natka813 [3]

Answer:

$\omega_f = 0.4\ rad/s$

Explanation:

given,

width of door dimension = 1 m

mass of door = 15 Kg

mass of bullet = 10 g = 0.001 Kg

speed of bullet = 400 m/s

$I_{total} =I_{door} + I_{bullet}$

$I_{total} =\dfrac{1}{3}MW^2 + m(\dfrac{W}{2})^2$

a) from conservation of angular momentum

$L_i = L_f$

$mv\dfrac{W}{2} = I_{total}\omega_f$

$mv\dfrac{W}{2}= (\dfrac{1}{3}MW^2 + m(\dfrac{W}{2})^2)\omega_f$

$\omega_f= \dfrac{mv\dfrac{W}{2}}{\dfrac{1}{3}MW^2 + m(\dfrac{W}{2})^2}$

$\omega_f= \dfrac{\dfrac{mv}{2}}{\dfrac{MW }{3}+(\dfrac{mW}{4})}$

$\omega_f= \dfrac{\dfrac{0.01\times 400}{2}}{\dfrac{15\times 1 }{3}+(\dfrac{0.01\times 1}{4})}$

$\omega_f = 0.4\ rad/s$

Does the force of kinetic friction depend on the weight of the block? explain.

Calculate the change in the energy of an electron that moves from the n = 3 level to the n = 2 level. What type of light is emit

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Red light

Explanation:

The energy emitted during an electron transition in an atom of hydrogen is given by

$E=E_0 (\frac{1}{n_2^2}-\frac{1}{n_1^2})$

where

$E_0 = 13.6 eV$ is the energy of the lowest level

n1 and n2 are the numbers corresponding to the two levels

Here we have

n1 = 3

n2 = 2

So the energy of the emitted photon is

$E=(13.6) (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})=1.9 eV$

Converting into Joules,

$E=(1.9 eV)(1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV)=3.0\cdot 10^{-19} J$

And now we can find the wavelength of the emitted photon by using the equation

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where h is the Planck constant and c is the speed of light. Solving for $\lambda$ ,

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34})(3\cdot 10^8)}{3.0\cdot 10^{-19}}=6.63\cdot 10^{-7} m = 663 nm$

And this wavelength corresponds to red light.
