Answer:

E. Both are mechanical waves.

Explanation:

Ocean waves are transverse mechanical waves. Sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves.

Transverse waves are those in which the medium particles move up and down, in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave.

Sound waves are longitudinal waves mechanical waves in which the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of motion of the wave.

Ocean waves and sound waves are : mechanical wave. A and B aren't right at all. and C is wrong because they aren't electromagnetic.
Mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium.

Which is the correctly balanced equation for the reaction of rust, Fe2O3, and hydrochloric acid, HCl?

Mariana [72]

Answer: Option (c) is correct answer.

Explanation:

The given reaction equation is as follows.

$Fe_{2}O_{3} + HCl \rightarrow FeCl_{3} + H_{2}O$

The number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.

Fe = 2
O = 3
H = 1
Cl = 1

The number of atoms on product side are as follows.

Fe = 1
O = 1
H = 2
Cl = 3

Therefore, in order to balance the equation we will balance the number of atoms in both reactant and product side.

Since number of Fe atoms in reactant side is 2, therefore, multiply $FeCl_{3}$ by 2 in the product side.

Number of O atoms in reactant side is 3, therefore, multiply $H_{2}O$ by 3 in the product side.

Now, the number of H atoms on product side is 6, therefore, multiply HCl by 6 in the reactant side.

The number of chlorine atoms on both reactant and product side equals 6.

Thus, the equation will become as follows.

$Fe_{2}O_{3} + 6HCl \rightarrow 2FeCl_{3} + 3H_{2}O$

Hence, the equation is balanced.

Define volume charge density <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%28%20%5C%3A%20%5Crho%20%5C%3A%20%29%20" id="TexFormula1" titl

Answer:

Volume charge density: When the charge density is throughout the volume of a body, then the charge per unit volume is called volume charge density and it is represented by ρ.

∴ρ=

$\frac{v}{p}$

Hence the unit of ρ is Cm

−3

Example: If a charge q is uniformly distributed in the whole volume of a

sphere of radius R, then p =

$\frac{q}{ \frac{4}{3} } \pi {r}^{3}$ =3q/4πR-3
