I think it's longitudinal wave because the particles move parallel to the direction that the wave is traveling.

Answer:

Longitudinal wave

Explanation:

Longitudinal wave: this wave produces vibrations in the direction it moves, that is, it pushes the particles in the medium towards their direction of propagation.

Unlike another type of wave that is the transverse wave, which produces  vibration in a direction perpendicular to its direction of propagation.

So the wave mentioned in the statement is a longitudinal wave because the displacement of the particles is in the direction of the wave.

An example of this type of wave are sound waves, which are transmitted by vibrations in the particles of the medium (like air) in their direction of the movement of the wave.

An exoplanet with one half of Earth's mass and 50% of Earth's radius is discovered.
Georgia [21]

Answer:

The space cadet that weighs 800 N on Earth will weigh 1,600 N on the exoplanet

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the exoplanet = 1/2×The mass of the Earth, M = 1/2 × M

The radius of the exoplanet = 50% of the radius of the Earth = 1/2 × The Earth's radius, R = 50/100 × R = 1/2 × R

The weight of the cadet on Earth = 800 N

The \ weight, W  =G\dfrac{M \times m}{R^{2}} = 800 \ N

Therefore, for the weight of the cadet on the exoplanet, W₁, we have;

W_1   =G\dfrac{\dfrac{M}{2}  \times m}{ \left ( \dfrac{R}{2} \right ) ^{2}} = G\dfrac{\dfrac{M}{2}  \times m \times 4}{ R ^{2}} = 2 \times G \times  \dfrac{M \times m}{R^{2}} = 2 \times 800 \, N = 1,600 \, N

The weight of a space cadet on the exoplanet, that weighs 800 N on Earth = 1,600 N.

Determine whether each of the statements below is true or false, and place it in the appropriate bin. Objects with equal speeds
lisov135 [29]

Objects with equal speeds definitely have equal velocities. -- FALSE.  For equal velocities, they also have to be going in the same direction.

If you are given an object's velocity, you can definitely determine its speed. -- TRUE.  If you know the velocity, then you know both the object's speed and its direction.

If you know the distance an object travels, and the time it takes to do so, you can determine the object's velocity. -- FALSE. Knowing the distance and time, you can figure out the object's speed.  But if you don't also know the direction it's moving, then you can't say what its velocity is.

If an object moves at constant speed, it must also be moving at constant velocity. -- FALSE.  Besides constant speed, it also needs to move in a straight line to have constant velocity.  If it turns, its velocity changes, even if its speed doesn't.

If an object moves at constant velocity, it must also be moving at constant speed. -- TRUE.  Constant velocity means its speed AND its direction are not changing.

Objects with equal velocities definitely have equal speeds. -- TRUE.  If their velocities are equal, then their speeds are equal AND they're moving in the same direction.

After laboring through this one, I'm wondering if there can possibly be any more ways to say the same thing.

A laser produces light at 5.32x10-7 m.
Blababa [14]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

speed = frequency x wavelength

speed of light in vacuum is 3.0 x 10^8

wavelength = 5.32 x10 ^-7

3.0 x 10 ^ 8 = 5.32 x 10^-7 x frequency

frequency = 5.63909 x 10^14

round it off = 5.64 x 10^14 Hz

thus the answer is D

hope this helps please mark it
