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 boy throws a snowball straight up in the air with an initial speed of 4.50 ft/s from a position 4.00 ft above the ground. The

IgorC [24]

Answer:

a) 0.658 seconds

b) 0.96 inches

Explanation:

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=4.5-32.1\times t\\\Rightarrow \frac{-4.5}{-32.1}=t\\\Rightarrow t=0.14 \s$

Time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is 0.14 seconds

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=4.5\times 0.14+\frac{1}{2}\times -32.1\times 0.14^2\\\Rightarrow s=0.315\ ft$

The highest point reached by the snowball above its release point is 0.315 ft

Total height the snowball will fall is 4+0.315 = 4.315 ft

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 4.315=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 32.1\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{4.315\times 2}{32.1}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.518\ s$

The snowball will reach the bank at 0.14+0.518 = 0.658 seconds after it has been thrown

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+32.1\times 0.518\\\Rightarrow v=16.62\ ft/s$

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-16.62^2}{2\times -100\times 3.28}\\\Rightarrow s=0.42\ ft$

The snowball goes 0.5-0.42 = 0.08 ft = 0.96 inches

A car drives for 30 km with a speed of 30m/s. How much time does it take the car to travel this distance?

Artist 52 [7]

   Time = (distance) / (speed)

   = (30 km) / (30 m/s)

   = (30,000 m) / (30 m/s)

   = (30,000 / 30) sec

   =    1,000 seconds

   =    16 minutes 40 seconds
