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:

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.

A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave.

Two balloons (m = 0.021 kg) are separated by a distance of d = 16 m. They are released from rest and observed to have an instant

evablogger [386]

(a) $2.56\cdot 10^{-5} C$

According to Newton's second law, the force experienced by each balloon is given by:

F = ma

where

m = 0.021 kg is the mass

a = 1.1 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Substituting, we found:

$F=(0.021)(1.1)=0.0231 N$

The electrostatic force between the two balloons can be also written as

$F=k\frac{Q^2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

Q is the charge on each balloon

r = 16 m is their separation

Since we know the value of F, we can find Q, the magnitude of the charge on each balloon:

$Q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(0.0231)(16)^2}{9\cdot 10^9}}=2.56\cdot 10^{-5} C$

(b) $1.6\cdot 10^{14}$ electrons

The magnitude of the charge of one electron is

$e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

While the magnitude of the charge on one balloon is

$Q=2.56\cdot 10^{-5} C$

This charge can be written as

$Q=Ne$

where N is the number of electrons that are responsible for this charge. Solving for N, we find:

$N=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{2.56\cdot 10^{-5}}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=1.6\cdot 10^{14}$

A rectangular block of copper metal weighs 1896 g. The dimensions of the block are 8.4 cm by 5.5 cm by 4.6 cm. From this data, w

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

8.9 g/cm^3

Explanation:

density = mass/volume

volume = length * width * height

volume = (8.4 cm)(5.5 cm)(4.6 cm)

volume = 212.52 cm^3

mass = 1896 g

density = (1896 g)/(212.52 cm^3)

density = 8.9 g/cm^3
