Compare and contrast the two different types of mechanical waves?

1 answer:

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.

Which best describes a difference between laser light and regular light?

Inga [223]

The basic difference is that the ordinary sources are incoherent that means that the discrete frequencies merge up to give an intermediate between the maximum and minimum frequencies. While the laser is coherent containing the single frequency with maximum amplitude. thus travelling far.

a car headed north at 15 m/s accelerates for 4.25 s to reach a velocity of 28.3 m/s. What is the acceleration of the car?

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The acceleration of the car is $3.13 m/s^2$

Explanation:

In the question it is given that car initially heads north with a velocity $15 m/s$ . It then accelerates for $4.25 s$ and in the end its velocity is $28.3 m/s$ .
