You are sitting on the beach and wondering about the properties of mechanical waves. Describe them in terms of ocean waves.

Physics

Answer:

The ocean waves is a mechanical wave that transmits mechanical energy in the wave by the synchronized and repeated oscillation of the waters about an equilibrium level such that as the wave approaches the shoreline, and the water depth decreases, the height of the wave also increases reflecting the effective transmission of energy while the medium which is the water through which the wave propagates, move back and forth within a small region

Explanation:

A mechanical wave like other waves is the oscillation of a field about an equilibrium level. In mechanical waves, the field consists of the oscillating matter such that the wave transmits energy through a medium. The displacement of the medium through which the wave energy is limited such that the wave energy is conserved to travel far.

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

The ball floats with half of it exposed above the water level . So it must have density half that of water . In other words its density must have been 500 kg / m³

B )

Tension in the ball will be equal to net force acting on the ball

Net force on the ball = buoyant force - weight .

4/3 x π x .21³ x 10⁻⁶ x 9.8 ( 1000 - 893 )

= 40.65 x 10⁻⁶ N .

C )Tension in the 3 rd  ball will be equal to net force acting on the ball

Net force on the ball =  weight  - buoyant force

= 4/3 x π x .21³ x 10⁻⁶ x 9.8 ( 1320 - 1000  )

=  121.6  x 10⁻⁶ N .

Max and Jimmy want to jump on a trampoline. Max begins jumping in a steady pattern, making small waves in the trampoline. Jimmy
mylen [45]

Answer:

x_total = (A + B) cos (wt + Ф)

we have the sum of the two waves in a phase movement

Explanation:

In this case we can see that the first boy Max when he enters the trampoline and jumps creates a harmonic movement, with a given frequency. When the second boy Jimmy enters the trampoline and begins to jump he also creates a harmonic movement. If the frequency of the two movements is the same and they are in phase we have a resonant process, where the amplitude of the movement increases significantly.

         Max

               x₁ = A cos (wt + Ф)

         Jimmy

              x₂ = B cos (wt + Ф)

         

total movement

             x_total = (A + B) cos (wt + Ф)

 Therefore we have the sum of the two waves in a phase movement

In an experiment, students release a block from rest at the top of an inclined plane. The block slides down the plane through a
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

B) Friction

Explanation:

The main source of error is the omission of the effect from friction between block and incline, which is directly proportional to the mass of the block. The force of gravity is constant. The friction force dissipates part of the gravitational potential energy, generating a final speed less than calculated under the consideration of a conservative system. Air resistance is neglected at low speeds like this case.
