When the vibration is in a direction parallel to wave's motion that is a Longitudinal wave  (C).

But When the vibration is in a direction perpendicular to wave's motion then it is Transverse wave.

Answer: The correct option is C.

Explanation:

Longitudinal wave is a wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. For example, sound wave. Longitudinal wave needs medium to travel. It can travel in solid, liquid and gas.

Transverse wave is a wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. For example, light wave. Transverse wave does not need any medium to travel.

Therefore, longitudinal wave causes the medium to vibrate only in a direction parallel to the wave's motion.

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

563.86 N

Explanation:

We know the buoyant force F = weight of air displaced by the balloon.

F = ρgV where ρ = density of air = 1.29 kg/m³, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and V = volume of balloon = 4πr/3 (since it is a sphere) where r = radius of balloon = 2.20 m

So, F = ρgV = ρg4πr³/3

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

F =  1.29 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s² × 4π × (2.20 m)³/3

= 1691.58 N/3

= 563.86 N

Describe an example where materials are prepared as fluids so that they can be moved easily
den301095 [7]

Answer:

In general solids are easier to transport than liquids, but the above metal example is a valid one and the only other one that comes to mind is that of concrete. It is mixed as a liquid and transported as such, but then sprayed or laid down to dry and form a solid surface or filler.

The volume and the mass of substance are 15cm3 and 27 gm respectively find its density​
harina [27]

Answer:

d=1.8\ g/cm^3

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 27 grams

Volume of the substance, V = 15 cm³

We need to find the density of the substance. We know that, the density of an object is given by mass per unit volume. So,

d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\d=\dfrac{27}{15}\\\\d=1.8\ g/cm^3

So, the density of the substance is equal to 1.8\ g/cm^3.
