Answer:
a. mechanical; require a medium to travel through
Explanation:
Longitudinal, transverse and surface waves are types of mechanical waves. For example, within the longitudinal waves are the sound waves, which needs a medium to propagate like the air. This is why sound does not travel in a vacuum.
And an example of a transverse wave is the waves that form in the water when a rock is thrown (ripples), these waves need a medium (the water) to propagate.
On the other hand, electromagnetic waves such as light waves do not need a medium to propagate, this is why we can see the light of distant stars because their light travels through the vacuum until it reaches us.
So, the answer is:
Transverse, surface, and longitudinal waves are all mechanical waves because they require a medium to travel through .
Answer:
Δx = 1.2 m
Explanation:
The CHANGE of spring length) (Δx) can be found using PS = ½kΔx²
Δx = √(2PS/k) = √(2(450)/650) = 1.17669... ≈ 1.2 m
The actual length of the spring is unknown as it varies with material type, construction method, extension or compression, and other variables we have no clue about.
Explanation:
It is given that, the height of a certain tower is 862 feet i.e to reach on the ground the object should travel, s = 862 feet
The distance traveled by a freely falling object is given by :



t = 7.34 seconds
So, the object will take 7.34 seconds to fall to the ground from the top of the building. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
F
Explanation:
The average velocity is the ratio of total displacement and time.The average speed is the ratio of total distance and time.Therefore the average speed and average velocity are equal if the total displacement is equal to the total distance that is if the body travels along a straight line without changing the direction.
