Which of the following types of waves can transmit only through matter? Select all that apply. (Hint: there are 2)

1 answer:

7 0

A) seismic waves
b) sound waves

sound waves are traveling vibrations of particles in media (air, water, metal, etc) so they can’t travel through empty space (vacuums) because there are no atoms or molecules to vibrate.

seismic waves are mechanical waves and require a medium for propagation, hence, they cannot travel through a vacuum.

hope this helps :)

A gas hot water heater is 65% efficient. The energy output to heat the water is 2.3 kWh.

Art [367]

Answer:

3.5 kWh

1.2 kWh are lost

Explanation:

65=2.3/Ein*100

0.65=2.3/Ein

Ein=2.3/.65

Ein=3.5

3.5-2.3=1.2 kWh

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

the spring constant k = $5.409*10^4 \ N/m$

the value for the damping constant $\\ \\b = 1.518 *10^3 \ kg/s$

Explanation:

From Hooke's Law

$F = kx\\\\k =\frac{F}{x}\\\\where \ F = mg\\\\k = \frac{mg}{x}\\\\given \ that:\\\\mass \ of \ each \ wheel = 425 \ kg\\\\x = 7.7cm = 0.077 m\\\\g = 9.8 \ m/s^2\\\\Then;\\\\k = \frac{425 \ kg * 9.8 \ m/s^2}{0.077 \ m}\\\\k = 5.409*10^4 \ N/m$

Thus; the spring constant k = $5.409*10^4 \ N/m$

The amplitude is decreasing 37% during one period of the motion

$e^{\frac{-bT}{2m}}= \frac{37}{100}\\\\e^{\frac{-bT}{2m}}= 0.37\\\\\frac{-bT}{2m} = In(0.37)\\\\\frac{-bT}{2m} = -0.9943\\\\b = \frac{2m(0.9943)}{T}\\\\b = \frac{2m(0.9943)}{\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}}\\\\b = \frac{m(0.9943) \ ( \omega) )}{ \pi}$

$b = \frac{m(0.9943)(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m})}}{\pi}\\\\b = \frac{425*(0.9943)(\sqrt{\frac{5.409*10^4}{425}) } }{3.14}\\\\b = 1518.24 \ kg/s\\\\b = 1.518 *10^3 \ kg/s$
