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.

Even though you are getting closer to the sun as you ascend into the toposphere, why does the temperature drop?
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: The lower areas of the Atmosphere have a high temperature through the heats from the ground.

Explanation: High temperature experienced on the Earth surface is majorly caused by heats from the ground ( Earth crust).As a person ascend up to the Toposphere the temperature continues to reduce because because the heat from the ground is reduced as the heights increased.

It has been proven that as a person ascends into the Toposphere the amount of air and pressure reduces this will eventually lead to expansion of the gas particles which will then reduce the temperature.

Select the appropriate units for each property of a wave.
IceJOKER [234]

Intensity: Decibels

Amplitude: Meters

Frequency: Hertz

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Wave is not visible to eyes and they can easily propagate through vacuum. the average power travelling at a given period of time in a space is the intensity. Decibels is the measure of intensity. it is measured in the decibel scale. The wave's strength and the intensity gives the amplitude of wave. It is measured using meters.

The wave's amplitude and the energy has a direct proportionality.  The number occurrence of wave cycles per second refers to the frequency of wave. it is measured in hertz. it is also measured as the number of cycles that occurs per second.

The drag on a pitched baseball can be surprisingly large. Suppose a 145 g baseball with a diameter of 7.4 cm has an initial spee
kupik [55]

Answer:

<h2>Part A)</h2><h2>Acceleration of the ball is 10.1 m/s/s</h2><h2>Part B)</h2><h2>the final speed of the ball is given as</h2><h2>v_f = 35.3 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that drag force is given as

F = \frac{C_d \rho A v^2}{2}

C_d = 0.35

A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}

A = \frac{\pi(0.074)^2}{4}

A = 4.3 \times 10^{-3} m^2

v = 40.2 m/s

so we have

F = \frac{0.35\times 1.2 (4.3 \times 10^{-3})(40.2)^2}{2}

F = 1.46 N

So acceleration of the ball is

a = \frac{F}{m}

a = \frac{1.46}{0.145}

a = 10.1 m/s^2

Part B)

As per kinematics we know that

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

v_f^2 - 40.2^2 = 2(-10.1)(18.4)

v_f = 35.3 m/s

Naddik [55]
You will use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve it.
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = (1.5)^2 + (2)^2
c^2 = 6.25
c = square root of 6.25
c = 2.5
I hope this helps!
