How is a real machine like an ideal machine

A real machine is like an ideal machine in that there are no massless chains or frictionless bearings. The parts of an ideal machine are rigid and weightless.

What are the characteristics of sound waves

The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.

What happens to light when it hits a different medium

The light reflects or refracts on hitting the medium.

The set of whole numbers is equal to the set of natural numbers

false, the set of natural numbers does not include 0, which can be considered a whole number.

Light travels as a longitudal wave

No, light is a transverse wave.

No, light is a transverse wave.

No, light is a transverse wave.

No, light is a transverse wave.

What is the wavelength of a water wave that has a frequency of 2.50 Hz and a speed of 4.0 ms

Wave speed = wavelength x frequency

4.0 m/s = wavelength x 2.50 Hz

1.6 m = wavelength

What are SI units of temperatrue

Kelvins are the SI units of Temperature.

Is it true that contructive interfecence occurs when amplitudes of two waves combine to produce a wave with a smaller amplitude

Constructive interference occurs when amplitudes of two waves combine to produce a wave with a larger amplitude.

If a wave with a smaller amplitude is produced, destructive interference has occurred.

True or false radio waves are electromagnetic waves

true

What is a form of electomanetic energy that can be described in terms of wavelength

Radiation is a form of electromagnetic energy, the light as we saw is part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum of around 400 - 700 nm. When we generally speak of electromagnetic wave length we usually refer to radio to microwave of wavelength around 10-2 to 103 m but the whole span of wavelength from gamma ray to radio wave counted as electromagnetic wave.

What is the period of the wave motion for a wave with a frequency of 0.57 kHz

Period = 1/Frequency = 0.00175 seconds (approx)

Period = 1/Frequency = 0.00175 seconds (approx)

Period = 1/Frequency = 0.00175 seconds (approx)

Period = 1/Frequency = 0.00175 seconds (approx)

Which statement best describes the effect of word choice on the tone of the excerpt

words like “violence“ and “bloodshed” give the excerpt a threatening tone
