What type of mechanical wave needs a medium?

1 answer:

5 0

Compressional!

Waves traveling through a solid medium can be either transverse waves or longitudinal waves. Yet waves traveling through the bulk of a fluid (such as a liquid or a gas) are always longitudinal waves. Transverse waves require a relatively rigid medium in order to transmit their energy.

Longitudinal ~ Compressional

Hope this helps!
Have a great day.

20 kg object travels 28 meter and stops. coefficient friction= 0.085 how much work was done by friction?

Tresset [83]

Assuming it is on a horizontal surface:
friction = μR
R = 20g (g is gravity 9.81)
so Friction = 0.085 x 20g
Work done is force x distance
so Work done = 0.085 x 20g x 28
= 466.956 J

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. in 6.00 s, it rotates 44.5 rad. du

Klio2033 [76]

a. The disk starts at rest, so its angular displacement at time $t$ is

$\theta=\dfrac\alpha2t^2$

It rotates 44.5 rad in this time, so we have

$44.5\,\mathrm{rad}=\dfrac\alpha2(6.00\,\mathrm s)^2\implies\alpha=2.47\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}$

b. Since acceleration is constant, the average angular velocity is

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\omega_f+\omega_i}2=\dfrac{\omega_f}2$

where $\omega_f$ is the angular velocity achieved after 6.00 s. The velocity of the disk at time $t$ is

$\omega=\alpha t$

so we have

$\omega_f=\left(2.47\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.00\,\mathrm s)=14.8\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

making the average velocity

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{14.8\frac{\rm rad}{\rm s}}2=7.42\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

Another way to find the average velocity is to compute it directly via

$\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\Delta\theta}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{44.5\,\rm rad}{6.00\,\rm s}=7.42\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

c. We already found this using the first method in part (b),

$\omega=14.8\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}$

d. We already know

$\theta=\dfrac\alpha2t^2$

so this is just a matter of plugging in $t=12.0\,\mathrm s$ . We get

$\theta=179\,\mathrm{rad}$

Or to make things slightly more interesting, we could have taken the end of the first 6.00 s interval to be the start of the next 6.00 s interval, so that

$\theta=44.5\,\mathrm{rad}+\left(14.8\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}\right)t+\dfrac\alpha2t^2$

Then for $t=6.00\,\rm s$ we would get the same $\theta=179\,\rm rad$ .

Reactants

In a chemical reaction, the substances that undergo change are called reactants. The new substances formed as a result of that change are called products.
