PLZ HELP! Which is NOT an example of a longitudinal wave?

Physics

The 1st example is NOT a longitudinal wave

Explanation:

Waves are periodic disturbance of the space that travel carrying energy but not matter.

Depending on their vibration, waves are classified into two types:

  • Transverse waves: in transverse waves, the vibration of the wave occurs in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves.
  • Longitudinal waves: in longitudinal waves, the vibration of the wave occurs in a direction parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave (back  and forth), creating regions of higher particle density (compressions) and lower particle density (rarefactions). Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.

In  this problem we have four options given:

  1. The first picture represents a transverse wave, because the vibration of the robe is up and down, while the wave propagates on the left-right direction
  2. The second picture represents a sound wave, which is a longitudinal wave
  3. The 3rd picture represents a longitudinal wave, since the vibration of the slinky is back and forth along the direction of propagation
  4. The 4th picture also represents a sound wave, which is longitudinal

Therefore, the only wave which is not longitudinal is the one in the 1st picture.

when a person uses an iron to remove wrinkles from a shirt why does heat travel to the iron to the shirt
steposvetlana [31]

<u>Explanation</u>
The Iron is incontact with the shirt. So, heat is transferred from the iron to the shirt because they are in contact. 
Before the contact, there is temperature difference between the shirt and the iron. When they come into contact there must be exchange of heat energy, this happens until equilibrium state is reach.

A 0.14-kg pinecone is 16m above the ground. What is it’s gravitational potential energy
Roman55 [17]

Given that:

mas (m) = 0.14 Kg ,

height (h) = 16 m,

     Determine gravitational potential energy ?

      Gravitational potential energy = m × g × h

                                                         = 0.14 × 9.81 × 16

                                                         = 21.97 Joules

What is one of the reasons why scientists believe the outer core is liquid?
drek231 [11]
<span>Scientists have obtained most of this information from natural geological activity.
</span>S-waves and p-waves are seismic waves- the waves of energy that travel through the Earth as a result of an earthquake .Both P- and S-waves travel easily through solids, but S-waves cannot pass through liquids, and they cannot pass through the outer core. Scientists know that Earth’s outer core is liquid because s-waves are not able to pass through it.<span> When an earthquake occurs there is a “shadow zone” on the opposite side of the earth where no s-waves arrive. 
</span>So, one of the reasons <span>why scientists believe the outer core is liquid is the s-wave shadow zone.</span>
