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.

You're driving a vehicle of mass 1350 kg and you need to make a turn on a flat road. The radius of curvature of the turn is 71 m
sergey [27]

Answer:

v=12.65\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of vehicle, m=1350\ kg
  • radius of curvature, r=71\ m
  • coefficient of friction, \mu=0.23

<u>During the turn to prevent the skidding of the vehicle its centripetal force must be equal to the opposite balancing frictional force:</u>

m.\frac{v^2}{r} =\mu.N

where:

\mu= coefficient of friction

N= normal reaction force due to weight of the car

v= velocity of the car

1350\times \frac{v^2}{71} =0.23\times (1350\times 9.8)

v=12.65\ m.s^{-1} is the maximum velocity at which the vehicle can turn without skidding.

At the county fair, Chris throws a 0.12kg baseball at a 2.4kg wooden milk bottle, hoping to knock it off its stand and win a pri
viva [34]

Answer:

v_{f2} =6.5%v_{i1}

Explanation:

Mass of the ball: m_{1} =0.12kg]

Initial velocity of the ball:   v_{i1}

final velocity of the ball: v_{f1} which is -30/100 of v_{i1} =-0.3v_{i1}

Mass of the bottle: m_{2} =2.4kg

Initial velocity of the bottle: v_{i2}=0m/s

final velocity of the bottle: v_{f2} is unknown (to find)

<em>by using conservation momentum, which stated that the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum.</em>

<em />m_{1} v_{i1} +m_{2} v_{i2} =m_{1} v_{f1} +m_{2} v_{f2}<em />

<em>so since the bottle is at rest firstly, therefore </em>v_{i2} =0<em />

<em />m_{1} v_{i1} +m_{2} (0) =m_{1} v_{f1} +m_{2} v_{f2}<em />

<em />m_{1} v_{i1}  =m_{1} v_{f1} +m_{2} v_{f2}<em>         </em><em>equation 1</em>

so now substitute v_{f1} into equation 1

m_{1} v_{i1}  =m_{1} (-0.3v_{i1} ) +m_{2} v_{f2}

<em />m_{1} v_{i1}  = -0.3m_{1}v_{i1}  +m_{2} v_{f2}<em />

<em>collect the like terms</em>

m_{1} v_{i1}   +0.3m_{1}v_{i1}  =m_{2} v_{f2}

1.3m_{1} v_{i1}   =m_{2} v_{f2}

divide both  side by m_{2}

v_{f2}=\frac{1.3m_{1} v_{i1}}{m_{2} }

Now substitute

v_{f2} =\frac{1.3*0.12*v_{i1}}{2.4}\\v_{f2}    =\frac{0.156v_{i1} }{2.4} \\v_{f2} =0.065v_{i1}

v_{f2} =6.5%v_{i1}

<em />

Tamiku [17]
The correct answer is: 
<span>C) The actual frequency of the siren does not change despite appearances.

In fact, Bob will observe an increase in the apparent frequency as the emergency vehicle approaches him, while Jill will observe a decrease in the apparent frequency as the emergency vehicle moves away from him, because of the Doppler effect (the relative velocity between the observer and the source of the sound is changing), but this effect involves the apparent frequency, while the real frequency of the siren will remain the same.</span>

Which of the following illustrates an increase in potential energy? Group of answer choices a wind-up toy winding down a person
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

A person climbs a set of stairs

Explanation:

Potential energy is said to be possessed by an object due to its position. As the height from the ground level increase, the potential energy increases. It is calculated by the below formula as :

P = mgh

Out of the given options, the option that illustrates an increase in potential energy is option (b) i.e. a person climbs a set of stairs. As he steps one stair, its position from ground increases. It means its potential energy increases.
