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.

Power grid
All the poles and wires you see along the highway and in front of your house are called the electrical transmission and distribution system. Today, generating stations all across the country are connected to each other through the electrical system (sometimes called the "power grid").

They are both in motion because an object is not at rest, but moving so slow it could be at rest. A car going at the same constant velocity is neither speeding up or slowing down, an object "at rest" is also moving at a constant rate, not speeding up or slowing done.

A sinusoidal wave has the following wave function: y(x,t) = (2.5 m) sin((3.0 m ) x - (24 s-')t + Tt/2] What is the frequency of

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Frequency of the wave is 3.8 hertz.

Explanation:

It is given that, the sinusoidal wave has following wave equation as :

$y(x,t)=(2.5\ m)sin[(3\ m^{-1})x-(24\ s^{-1})t+\pi/2]$
