For a sound wave traveling through air, the vibrations of the particles are best described as longitudinal. Longitudinal waves are waves in which the motion of the individual particles of the medium is in a direction that is parallel to the direction of energy transport. They move the same direction as the wave.
Answer:
See the answers below.
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

where:
Vf = final velocity = 10 [m/s]
Vo = initial velocity = 40 [m/s]
t = time = 5 [s]
a = acceleration [m/s²]
Now replacing:
![10=40-a*5\\40-10=a*5\\30=5*a\\a=6[m/s^{2}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=10%3D40-a%2A5%5C%5C40-10%3Da%2A5%5C%5C30%3D5%2Aa%5C%5Ca%3D6%5Bm%2Fs%5E%7B2%7D%5D)
Note: The negative sign in the above equation means that the velecity is decreasing.
2)
To solve this second part we must use the following equation of kinematics.

where:
x = distance [m]
![(10)^{2} =(40)^{2} -2*6*x\\100=1600-12*x\\12*x=1600-100\\12*x=1500\\x=125[m]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%2810%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%3D%2840%29%5E%7B2%7D%20-2%2A6%2Ax%5C%5C100%3D1600-12%2Ax%5C%5C12%2Ax%3D1600-100%5C%5C12%2Ax%3D1500%5C%5Cx%3D125%5Bm%5D)
Answer:The mass of ball B is 10 kg.
Explanation;
Mass of ball A =
