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.

14 kilometers per hour to meters per second
Alina [70]

Answer:

About 3.88 meters per second

Explanation:

14km= 14,000m

14,000m per hour

so 14,000 ÷ 60= 233.33 meters per minute

233.33÷60=3.88 meters per second

Which planet orbits in a different plane than all of the others?
coldgirl [10]

Although they're all 'close', none of the planets orbits in the same plane as any other planet.  They're all in slightly different planes.

The farthest out compared to all the others is Pluto, with an orbit inclined about 17 degrees compared to the ecliptic plane (Earth's orbit).  But Pluto is officially not a planet, so I don't think it's a good answer.

The next greatest inclination compared to Earth's orbit is <em>Mercury</em>.  That one is about 7 degrees.

The other six planets are all in different orbital planes inclined less than 7 degrees compared to Earth's orbit.

An object is moving east with a constant speed of 30 m/s for 5 seconds. What is the object's acceleration
pentagon [3]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 6 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{v}{t}  \\

where

v is the velocity

t is the time

We have

a =  \frac{30}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>6 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
