Compare and contrast the two different types of mechanical waves?

Physics
1 answer:
prohojiy [21]3 years ago
5 0
There are longitudinal and transverse.  Both types of mechanical waves require a medium, transport energy, and have defined wavelengths, frequencies, and speeds.
Differences are that transverse waves oscillate along a direction perpendicular to the direction of travel (like shaking a rope up and down).  Longitudinal waves like oscillations along a spring and sound waves, oscillate back and forth along the direction of travel.

What is the use of force to move an object over a distance?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

In physics, work is defined as the use of force to move an object. For work to be done, the force must be applied in the same direction that the object moves. Work is directly related to both the force applied to an object and the distance the object moves.                                                                                              <em>[I HOPE THIS HELPS* PLS MARK ME BRAINLIEST]</em>

Most ocean waves obtain their energy and motion from _____. the moon's gravitational attraction the sun plate movement the wind
IrinaVladis [17]
Hello!

Most ocean waves obtain their energy and motion from the wind.

Ocean waves are surface waves that move across the surface of the ocean. When wind touches the surface of the water, there is friction in the contact zone. This friction causes a drag effect, that makes wrinkles on the surface of the water. As the wrinkles get bigger, they transform into full-blown waves, and the taller the wave, the more energy it can extract from the wind, making them even bigger and to move longer distances. 

Have a nice day!
