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 piano wire has a tension of 650 N and a mass per unit length of 0.060 g/cm. What is the speed of waves on this wire

Trava [24]

Answer:

The speed of waves on this wire is 329.14 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

tension of the wire, T = 650 N

mass per unit length, μ = 0.06 g /cm = 0.006 kg/m

(convert the unit of mass per length in g/cm to kg/m by dividing by 10 = 0.06 / 10 = 0.006 kg/m)

The speed of waves on this wire is given as;

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{650}{0.006} }\\\\v = 329.14 \ m/s$

Therefore, the speed of waves on this wire is 329.14 m/s

An empty elevator has a mass of 722 kg. It moves between floors at a maximum speed of 6.00 m/s. The elevator is stopped on the 2

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The lift is going down with acceleration

Initial speed u = 0

Final speed v = 6 m/s

distance s = 15.25 m

acceleration a = ?

v² = u² + 2 a s

6² = 0 + 2 x a x 15.25

a = 1.18 m /s²

Elevator is going down with acceleration .

mg - T = ma where T is tension in the cable .

722 x 9.8 - T = 722 x 1.18

7075.6 - T = 851.96

T = 6223.64 N .

Which statements describe magnetic poles? Check all that apply.

Alex_Xolod [135]

Explanation:

Magnet: It has two poles: South pole and North pole.

Magnetic field lines are stronger near the poles of the magnet.

Same poles repel each other. There is a magnetic force of repulsion between the same poles. North- North poles repel each other.

Unlike poles attract each other. There is magnetic force of attraction between the opposite poles. South- North poles attract each other.

Mono poles cannot exist.

From the given statements, the magnetic poles are described by:

A north pole must exist with a south pole.

Two south poles placed near each other will repel each other.

A north pole and a south pole placed near each other will attract each other.

A bicyclist is finishing his repair of a flat tire when a friend rides by with a constant speed of 3.6 m/s . Two seconds later t

dybincka [34]

Answer:

A) t = 7.0 s

B) x = 25 m

C) v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

The equations for the position and velocity of an object traveling in a straight line is given by the following expressions:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

v = v0 + a · t

Where:

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

v = velocity at time t

A)When both friends meet, their position is the same:

x bicyclist = x friend

x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t² = x0 + v · t

If we place the center of the frame of reference at the point when the bicyclist starts following his friend, the initial position of the bicyclist will be 0, and the initial position of the friend will be his position after 2 s:

Position of the friend after 2 s:

x = v · t

x = 3.6 m/s · 2 s = 7.2 m

Then:

1/2 · a · t² = x0 + v · t v0 of the bicyclist is 0 because he starts from rest.

1/2 · 2.0 m/s² · t² = 7.2 m + 3.6 m/s · t

1 m/s² · t² - 3.6 m/s · t - 7.2 m = 0

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 5.0 s

It takes the bicyclist (5.0 s + 2.0 s) 7.0 s to catch his friend after he passes him.

B) Using the equation for the position, we can calculate the traveled distance. We can use the equation for the position of the friend, who traveled over 7.0 s.

x = v · t

x = 3.6 m/s · 7.0 s = 25 m

(we would have obtained the same result if we would have used the equation for the position of the bicyclist)

C) Using the equation of velocity:

v = a · t

v = 2.0 m/s² · 5.0 s = 10 m/s

Superman takes 8 seconds to stop a runway train over a distance of 58 m using a power of

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Workdone = 600 Kilojoules

Explanation:

Given the following data:

Time = 8 seconds

Power = 75,000 Watts

Distance = 58 m

To find the work done;

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

$Power = \frac {Energy}{time}$

Thus, work done is given by the formula;

Workdone = power * time

Workdone = 75000 * 8

Workdone = 600,000 = 600 KJ
