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>

S When an uncharged conducting sphere of radius a is placed at the origin of an x y z coordinate system that lies in an initiall
telo118 [61]

The sphere has a constant potential. It is the electric field.

E = V_{0} = 0

In the sphere, then

E_{x} = 0,  E_{y}=0,   E_{z}=0

Outside the sphere, then

V = V_{0} - E_{0}z + \frac{E_{0}a^{3}z}{(x^{2} +y^{2} + z^{2})^{3/2}   }

The elements of the electric field include

E_{x} =\frac{3E_{0}a^{3}xy}{(x^{2} +y^{2} +z^{2})^{5/2}}\\E_{y} = \frac{3E_{0}a^{3}xz}{(x^{2} +y^{2}+z^{2})^{5/2}}

Which becomes,

=E_{0} (1-\frac{a^{3}}{x^{2} +y^{2}+z^{2})^{3/2}}+\frac{3a^{3}z^{2}}{(x^{2} +y^{2}+z^{2})^{5/2}})

<h3>In a consistent electric field, is force constant?</h3>

Similar to an ordinary object in the uniform gravitational field near the Earth's surface, a charged item in a uniform electric field experiences a constant force and consequently experiences a uniform acceleration. The vector cross product of p and E determines the torque's direction.

If the charge is positive, the force either moves in the same direction as E or in the opposite direction (if charge is negative).

A torque is experienced by an electric dipole (p) in an even electric field (E). The vector cross product of p and E determines the torque's direction.

How do you state a hypothesis! Branliest
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

State your hypothesis as concisely, and to the point, as possible. A hypothesis is usually written in a form where it proposes that, if something is done, then something else will occur. Usually, you don't want to state a hypothesis as a question. You believe in something, and you're seeking to prove it.

A solid sphere of radius R is placed at a height of 30 cm on a15 degree slope. It is released and rolls, without slipping, to th
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The height is  h_c = 42.857

A circular hoop of different diameter cannot be released from a height 30cm and match the sphere speed because from the conservation relation the speed of the hoop is independent of the radius (Hence also the diameter )

Explanation:

   From the question we are told that

           The height is h_s = 30 \ cm

            The angle of the slope is \theta = 15^o

According to the law of conservation of energy

     The potential energy of the sphere at the top of the slope = Rotational kinetic energy + the linear kinetic energy

                          mgh = \frac{1}{2} I w^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where I is the moment of inertia which is mathematically represented as this for  a sphere

                    I = \frac{2}{5} mr^2

  The angular velocity w is mathematically represented as

                         w = \frac{v}{r}

So the equation for conservation of energy becomes

               mgh_s = \frac{1}{2} [\frac{2}{5} mr^2 ][\frac{v}{r} ]^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

              mgh_s = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 [\frac{2}{5} +1 ]

             mgh_s = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 [\frac{7}{5} ]

            gh_s =[\frac{7}{10} ] v^2

              v^2 = \frac{10gh_s}{7}

Considering a circular hoop

   The moment of inertial is different for circle and it is mathematically represented as

             I = mr^2

Substituting this into the conservation equation above

              mgh_c = \frac{1}{2} (mr^2)[\frac{v}{r} ] ^2 + \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Where h_c is the height where the circular hoop would be released to equal the speed of the sphere at the bottom

                 mgh_c  = mv^2

                     gh_c = v^2

                     h_c = \frac{v^2}{g}

Recall that   v^2 = \frac{10gh_s}{7}

                    h_c= \frac{\frac{10gh_s}{7} }{g}

                      = \frac{10h_s}{7}

            Substituting values

                   h_c = \frac{10(30)}{7}

                       h_c = 42.86 \ cm
