Answer:

a) Transverse and longitudinal

Explanation:

Depending on the medium in which the sound is traveling the wave can be longitudinal or transverse.

When traveling in fluids i.e., in liquids and gases the wave takes the form of a longitudinal wave. Longitudinal waves cause compression and rarefaction of the fluid.

When traveling in solids the wave takes the form of a transverse wave. Transverse waves leads to the formation of shear stresses in the solid.

How would the terminal velocity of a piece of tissue paper compare to the terminal velocity of a rock?

matrenka [14]

Answer: Rock require larger drag force and to achieve it rock need to move at a very high terminal velocity.

Explanation: Terminal velocity is defined as the final velocity attained by an object falling under the gravity. At this moment weight is balanced by the air resistance or drag force and body falls with zero acceleration i.e. with a constant velocity.

Case 1: Terminal velocity of a piece of tissue paper.

The weight of tissue paper is very less and it experiences an air resistance while falling downward under the effect of gravity.

Downward gravitational force, F = mg

Upward air resistance or friction or drag force will be $f_{1}$

So, paper will attain terminal velocity when mg = $f_{1}$

Case 2: Rock is very heavy and require larger air resistance to balance the weight of rock relative to the tissue paper case.

Downward force on rock, F = Mg

Drag force = $f_{2}$

Rock will attain terminal velocity when Mg = $f_{2}$

Mg > mg

so, $f_{2}$ > $f_{1}$

And rock require larger drag force and to achieve it rock need to move at a very high terminal velocity.

The end of a horizontal rope is attatched to a prong of an electricity driven tuning fork that vibrates at 100hz. The other end

Darina [25.2K]

here since string is attached with a mass of 2 kg

so here tension force in the rope is given as

$T = mg$

here we will have

$T = 2(9.8) = 19.6 N$

now we will have speed of wave given as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

here we will have

$v = \sqrt{\frac{19.6}{0.75\times 10^{-2}}}$

$v = 16.33 m/s$

now we know that frequency is given as

F = 100 Hz

now wavelength is given as

$\lambda = \frac{v}{F}$

$\lambda = \frac{16.33}{100} = 0.16 m$

so wavelength will be 0.16 m

What do you measure when you measure an object’s mass?

Effectus [21]

Answer:

how much space it takes up in the world

Explanation:

1) Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains, while Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object. 2) Mass is measured by using a balance comparing a known amount of matter to an unknown amount of matter. Weight is measured on a scale.
