Answer:   C. series of compression and rarefaction.

Explanation:

A longitudinal wave is the one where medium particles oscillate in the direction of wave motion. The energy is transferred by series of compression and rarefaction. Compression is region of high density of medium particles and rarefaction is the low density region through which the wave travels.

<u>Thus, a P wave of earthquake which is a longitudinal wave traverses through soil by a series of compression and rarefaction. </u>

Phương trình chuyển động thẳng đều của một chất điểm có dạng: x = 2t – 10. (x: km, t: h). Quãng đường đi được của chất điểm sau
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Distance cover in 2  hour = 6 kilometer

Explanation:

Given equation:

x = 2t - 10

where

x = kilometer

t = hour

Find:

Distance cover in 2  hour

Computation:

T = 2

So,

x = 2t - 10

x = 2(2) - 10

x = 4 - 10

x = -6

Distance cover in 2  hour = 6 kilometer

_____ is the transfer of thermal energy between two bodies which are at different temperatures. The si unit for this is the joul
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Heat

Explanation:

The thermal energy is usually defined as a heat energy that occurs due to the increase in temperature. Due to this increasing temperature, the atoms, as well as the molecules, start to migrate at a much faster rate and rapid collisions occur with one another.

This temperature change that is involved in this process can be measured.

Thus, in thermal energy, heat (heat energy) is transferred from one body to another at different distinct temperatures.

The SI unit of heat is Joule.

In your own words, explain why we see a rainbow or colorful sunset. Explain the properties and interactions that make this displ
Maksim231197 [3]
Wee see rainbows due to the geometries of the raindrops. when the sun shines behind, rays of light enter the raindrops and this light are refracted. The lights are then reflected from the back of the raindrop and refracted again as it passes the rain drop. Refraction in this sense is the cause for splitting the light into several colors.

Solve the equation x=3logy2 for y.
melisa1 [442]

X = 3 · log(Y²)

X = 3 · 2·log(Y)

X/6 = log(Y)

10^(X/6) = 10^log(Y)

Y = 10^(X/6)
