1. a. longitudinal waves.
There are two types of waves:
- Transverse waves: in transverse waves, the oscillations of the wave occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave
- Longitudinal waves: in longitudinal waves, the oscillations of the waves occur parallel to the direction in which the waves are travelling.
So, these types of waves are called longitudinal waves.
2. d. a medium
There are two types of waves:
- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field, and they can travel both in a medium and also in a vacuum (they do not need a medium to propagate)
- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, so they need a medium to propagate - therefore, the correct choice is d. a medium
3. a. AM/FM radio
Analogue signals consist of continuous signals, which vary in a continuous range of values. On the contrary, digital signals consist of discrete signals, which can assume only some discrete values. For AM and FM radios, signals are transmitted by using analogue signals.
Answer:
A) The wave that travels through the rail reaches the microphone first.
B) separation in time between the arrivals of the two pulses is 0.01539 seconds.

Answer:
C. Supervising the game to make sure teams are playing fairly
This being a perfect collision means no energy is lost during the collision. Because this question asks for speed and not velocity, the speed will be the same because the final energy is the same. The speed after the collision would therefore be 1.27 m/s.
M=3kg
p=33kg.m/s
p=m*v
v=p/m
=33/3
=11m/s
thus option (c)
