The correct answer to the question is: Sound wave.

EXPLANATION:

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand longitudinal wave.

A longitudinal wave is a mechanical wave in which the direction of propagation of wave is parallel to the direction of particle vibration.

This wave propagates through a medium in the form of compression and rarefaction.

Compression are the regions of high pressure zones where the particles of the medium are closely aggregated to each other.

Rarefaction is the region of low pressure where particles of the medium are not so close to each other as compared to compression.

The longitudinal wave can not propagate in space. It always needs a medium for it's propagation. The medium may be solid, liquid or gas .

For instance, sound wave is a longitudinal wave.

Hence, the correct answer of this question is sound wave which needs a medium for it's propagation.

Answer:

Longitudinal waves

Explanation:

Mechanical waves are those waves which require medium to propagate. It has two types:

i) Transverse waves: These waves depend upon the rigidity of the medium so, they can propagate though solids and liquids but cannot pass through gases.

ii) Longitudinal waves: These waves depend upon the volume elasticity of the medium so, they can propagate through solids, gases, and liquids

Hence, the right answer is longitudinal waves.

A 62 kg boy and a 37 kg girl use an elastic rope while engaged in a tug-of-war on a friction-less icy surface. If the accelerati

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the boy toward the girl is $1.31\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the boy, $m_1=62\ kg$

Mass of the girl, $m_2=37\ kg$

The acceleration of the girl toward the boy is, $a_2=2.2\ m/s^2$

To find,

The acceleration of the boy toward the girl.

Solution,

Let $a_1$ is the magnitude of the acceleration of the boy toward the girl. We know that force acting on one object to other are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. So,

$F_1=-F_2$

$m_1a_1=-m_2a_2$

$a_1=-\dfrac{m_2a_2}{m_1}$

$a_1=-\dfrac{37\times 2.2}{62}$

$a_1=-1.31\ m/s^2$

$|a_1|=1.31\ m/s^2$

So, the magnitude of the acceleration of the boy toward the girl is $1.31\ m/s^2$

A mixture of helium and argon gas is expanded from a volume of 29.0L to a volume of 82.0L, while the pressure is held constant a

finlep [7]

Answer:

322 kJ

Explanation:

The work is the energy that a force produces when realizes a displacement. So, for a gas, it occurs when it expands or when it compress.

When the gas expands it realizes work, so the work is positive, when it compress, it's suffering work, so the work is negative.

For a constant pressure, the work can be calcutated by:

W = pxΔV, where W is the work, p is the pressure, and ΔV is the volume variation. To find the work in Joules, the pressure must be in Pascal (1 atm = 101325 Pa), and the volume in m³ (1 L = 0.001 m³), so:

p = 60 atm = 6.08x10⁶ Pa

ΔV = 82.0 - 29.0 = 53 L = 0.053 m³

W = 6.08x10⁶x0.053

W = 322x10³ J

W = 322 kJ

A person takes a trip, driving with a constant

podryga [215]

For this problem, we are asked to calculate for the distance traveled. We set up the equations as follows:
Distance = 61 km/hr * (time + 20.8/60 s) Distance = 98.5 km/hr * time

We equate the two equations, then we can solve for the time spent on the trip. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

An electromagnet is created using a battery, an insulated copper wire and an iron nail. The wire is wrapped around the nail 30 t

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

If one assume that each turn is like a strand of electromagnet, which can then be added up. Therefore, increase in the number of turns will yield to increase in the magnetic strength. Also if the current increases, then there will be increase in the magnetic field strength.

From Ohm's law

V = IR

I = V/R

That is a direct increase in voltage will lead to increase in current.

Increase the voltage of the battery and increases the number of turns of the coil. Will suit the situation
