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.

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

How does an inclined plane affect the effort needed to move a load vertically?

VashaNatasha [74]

If we pull an object vertically upwards then we need to apply a force which is equal in the magnitude of the weight of the object

$F = mg$

now when we pull the same object upwards along an inclined plane with angle then we require a force which will balance the component of weight along the inclined

so it is given as

$F' = mgsin\theta$

so as if we compare the two forces we can say that since the value of sine is always less than 1 for an angle less than 90 degree

so in the 2nd case when we pull the object along the inclined plane it will require less effort

so correct answer is

A. reduce effort

Through which of these media do sound waves travel most slowly? A.iron. B.Wood. C.Water. D.Cold Air

EleoNora [17]

The answer should be D) Cold air because even though its true sound can travel through all types of matter, air which is a gas, can travel but it travels SLOWLY while sound travels quickly in SOLIDS.
