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>

Consider a block on a spring oscillating on a frictionless surface. The amplitude of the oscillation is 11 cm, and the speed of
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The angular frequency of the block is ω = 5.64 rad/s

Explanation:

The speed of the block v = rω where r = amplitude of the oscillation and ω = angular frequency of the oscillation.

Now ω = v/r since v = speed of the block = 62 cm/s and r = the amplitude of the oscillation = 11 cm.

The angular frequency of the oscillation ω is

ω = v/r

ω = 62 cm/s ÷ 11 cm

ω = 5.64 rad/s

So, the angular frequency of the block is ω = 5.64 rad/s

6. The image to the right shows a moment of inertia
Trava [24]

The moment of inertia is the rotational analog of mass, and it is given by

the  product of mass and the square of the distance from the axis.

  • The moment of inertia changes as the position of the weight is changed, which indicates that; statement is incorrect

Reasons:

The weight on each arm that have adjustable positions can be considered as point masses.

The moment of inertia of a point mass is <em>I</em> = m·r²

Where;

m = The mass of the weight

r = The distance (position) from the center to which the weight is adjusted

Therefore;

The moment of inertia, <em>I </em>∝ r²

Which gives;

Doubling the distance from the center of rotation, increases the moment of inertia by factor of 4.

Therefore, the statement contradicts the relationship between the radius of rotation and moment of inertia.
