How the different types of waves are form and how the waves travel

1 answer:

4 0

There are 2 types of waves mechanical and electromagnetic, mechanical waves need a medium to travel energy, while an electromagnetic wave doesn’t not require a medium. Electromagnetic waves travel through the vacuum(space). Electromagnetic waves include : radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, Ultraviolet light ( UV light), x-rays, and gamma rays, all of those are transverse waves. Mechanical waves are separated into 2 waves longitudinal and transverse. Transverse waves travel up and down while longitudinal waves travel back-and-forth

A 4.0 kg ball is traveling at 3.0 m/s and strikes a wall. The ball bounces off the wall with a velocity of 4.0 m/s in the opposi

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

280 N

Explanation:

Applying Newton's third second law of motion,

F = m(v-u)/t................... Equation 1

Where F = Magnitude of the average force on the ball during contact, v = final velocity of the ball, u = initial velocity of the ball, t = time of contact of the ball and the wall.

Note: Let the direction of the initial velocity of the ball be positive

Given: m = 4 kg, u = 3.0 m/s, v = -4.0 m/s (bounce off), t = 0.1 s

Substitute into equation 1

F = 4(-4-3)/0.1

F = 4(-7)/0.1

F = -28/0.1

F = -280 N.

Note: The negative sign tells that the force on the ball act in opposite direction to the initial motion of the ball

a 3 kg piece of putty that is moving with a velocity of 10 m/s collides and sticks to an 8 kg bowling ball that was at rest. wha

defon

The final velocity is 2.7 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the principle of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the system must be conserved before and after the collision.

Therefore we can write:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v$
