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.

In terms of saturation (unsaturated, saturated, super-saturated). How would you classify the following?

miskamm [114]

Answer:

1. A NaCl solution with a concentration of 50g/100mL of water at 40°C: The NaCl solution with a given concentration is saturated at this temperature .As the temperature increases the solution will more dissolves.

2. A sugar solution with a concentration of 200g/100mL of water at 40°C: The sugar solution with a given concentration is saturated at this temperature. As the temperature increases the solution will more dissolves.

3. A sugar solution with a concentration of 240g/100mL of water at 40°C: The sugar solution with a given concentration is saturated at given temperature.

Which statement describes the distribution of charge in an atom? (1) A positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more n

pantera1 [17]

Answer: option B

Explanation: when a neutral atom loses an electron or gains a positive charge electron, it becomes a positive ion (positively charged) and when an neutral atom gains an electronic charge or losses a positive charge electron, it becomes a negative ion (negatively charged).
