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.

Energy is the ability to do work.

So work can not be done without the transfer of energy from one body to another.

It is epistemically possible that a completed physics might include which of the following propositions? O Souls and other spiri

ohaa [14]

Answer:

option D.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option D.

At present the knowledge of physics does not includes the study related to souls , other spiritual substance.

Physics does not give the answers of question like God created universe , matter is unreal, etc.

So, there might will be possibility that in future complete physics will give the answer of all these questions i.e. correct answer is All of the above.

A bullet of mass 11 g strikes a ballistic pendulum of mass 1.9 kg. The center of mass of the pendulum rises a vertical distance

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The bullet's initial speed is 243.21 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the bullet, $m_b=11\ g=0.011\ kg$

Mass of the pendulum, $m_p=19\ kg$

The center of mass of the pendulum rises a vertical distance of 10 cm.

We need to find the bullet's initial speed if it is assumed that the bullet remains embedded in the pendulum. Let it is v. In this case, the energy of the system remains conserved. The kinetic energy of the bullet gets converted to potential energy for the whole system. So,

$\dfrac{1}{2}(m_b+m_p)V^2 =(m_b+m_p)gh\\\\V=\sqrt{2gh} \ .................(1)$

V is the speed of the bullet and pendulum at the time of collision

Now using conservation of momentum as :

$m_bv=(m_p+m_b)V$

Put the value of V from equation (1) in above equation as :

$v=\dfrac{(m_p+m_b)}{m_b}\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\dfrac{(1.9+0.011)}{0.011}\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.1}\\\\v=243.21\ m/s$

So, the bullet's initial speed is 243.21 m/s.
