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.

A tow truck drags a stalled car along a road. The chain makes an angle of 30???? with the road and the tension in the chain is 1
My name is Ann [436]

Answer: work = 1,305kJ

Explanation:

angle= 30°

force= 1,500N

distance= 1,000m

The formula for work is : Work= force x distance, however there is an angle of 30° between the direction of force applied and the direction of motion, therefore force must be decomposed to its value on the horizontal axis which is the direction of motion by using the cosine of the very angle.

W= F×cos(α)×D

W= 1,500×cos (30)×1,000

W= 1,305kJ ( kilojoules)

Psi communication refers to the transfer of information through a/an ________ process.
shtirl [24]

Answer:

unknown

Explanation:

Psi communication: The term "Psi communication" was initially originated in an article named 'Mass Communication and Para-Social Interaction' during 1956 by Donald Horton, and is also denoted as "parasocial interaction". It is described as a phenomenon that involves "one-sided interaction" between people, encompassing the viewer knowing a specific celebrity well whereas the viewer himself or herself is being completely unknown for the celebrity in return.

In the question above, the given statement represents that the Psi communication is responsible for transforming via an unknown process as one of its members are considered as unknown of the transfer, so the correct answer would be "unknown process".

<span>118 C The Clausius-Clapeyron equation is useful in calculating the boiling point of a liquid at various pressures. It is: Tb = 1/(1/T0 - R ln(P/P0)/Hvap) where Tb = Temperature boiling R = Ideal Gas Constant (8.3144598 J/(K*mol) ) P = Pressure of interest Hvap = Heat of vaporization of the liquid T0, P0 = Temperature and pressure at a known point. The temperatures are absolute temperatures. We know that water boils at 100C at 14.7 psi. Yes, it's ugly to be mixing metric and imperial units like that. But since we're only interested in relative pressure differences, it's safe enough. So P0 = 14.7 P = 14.7 + 12.3 = 27 T0 = 100 + 273.15 = 373.15 And for water, the heat of vaporization per mole is 40660 J/mol Let's substitute the known values and calculate. Tb = 1/(1/T0 - R ln(P/P0)/Hvap) Tb = 1/(1/373.15 K - 8.3144598 J/(K*mol) ln(27/14.7)/40660 J/mol) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 8.3144598 1/K ln(1.836734694)/40660) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 8.3144598 1/K 0.607989372/40660) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 5.055103194 1/K /40660) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 0.000124326 1/K) Tb = 1/(0.002555561 1/K) Tb = 391.3034763 K Tb = 391.3034763 K - 273.15 Tb = 118.1534763 C Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 118 C</span>
