There are two types of mechanical waves:
longitudinal waves : Their displacement is in a direction perpendicular to the vibrations of the wave forming crests and troughs.
Transverse waves : They have the vibrations in the direction of the wave forming compressions and rarefactions.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Fermium is a synthetic element with the symbol Fm and atomic number 100. It is an actinide and the heaviest element that can be formed by neutron bombardment of lighter elements, and hence the last element that can be prepared in macroscopic quantities, although pure fermium metal has not yet been prepared.[3] A total of 19 isotopes are known, with 257Fm being the longest-lived with a half-life of 100.5 days.
It was discovered in the debris of the first hydrogen bomb explosion in 1952, and named after Enrico Fermi, one of the pioneers of nuclear physics. Its chemistry is typical for the late actinides, with a preponderance of the +3 oxidation state but also an accessible +2 oxidation state. Owing to the small amounts of produced fermium and all of its isotopes having relatively short half-lives, there are currently no uses for it outside basic scientific research.
Answer:
The direction of the force will be towards the east
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The direction of the downward
Generally according to Fleming's right-hand rule(
Thumb - direction of force
Middle finger - direction of current
Index finger - direction of the magnetic field
) and the fact that the earth magnetic field acts from south to north with respect to the four cardinal points then the direction of the force will be toward the east with respect to the four cardinal point on the earth
