Complete sentence:

A longitudinal wave is a type of wave that transfers energy parallel to the direction of wave motion. A transverse wave, on the other hand, is a type of wave that transfers energy perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.

Explanation

the main difference between longitudinal and transverse wave is the direction of their oscillation/vibration. In a longitudinal wave, the oscillation of the wave occurs in a direction parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave, while in a transverse wave, the oscillation occurs in a plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation. An example of transverse waves are the electromagnetic waves, which consists of an electric field and a magnetic field that oscillates perpendicular to the direction of the wave, while an example of longitudinal waves are the sound waves, whose particles vibrate in a direction parallel to the direction of motion of the wave, producing regions of more density of particles (called compressions) and regions of less density of particles (called rarefactions).

Answer:

We can remove ions and water molecules

Explanation:

We can remove ions and water molecules because both of them have an electric field . So this will help in repelling or attractive the above mentioned particles. Water is polar so it has an electric field due to net dipole moment.

a block has a volume of 0.09m3 and a density of 4,000kg/m3. what's the force of gravity acting on the block in water

Lunna [17]

   Density = (mass) / (volume)

      4,000 kg/m³ = (mass) / (0.09 m³)

Multiply each side
by 0.09 m³ :           (4,000 kg/m³) x (0.09 m³) = mass

   mass = 360 kg .

Force of gravity = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

   = (360 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

   = (360 x 9.8) kg-m/s²

   =   3,528 newtons .

That's the force of gravity on this block, and it doesn't matter
what else is around it. It could be in a box on the shelf or at
the bottom of a swimming pool . . . it's weight is 3,528 newtons
(about 793.7 pounds).

Now, it won't seem that heavy when it's in the water, because
there's another force acting on it in the upward direction, against
gravity. That's the buoyant force due to the displaced water.

The block is displacing 0.09 m³ of water. Water has 1,000 kg of
mass in a m³, so the block displaces 90 kg of water. The weight
of that water is (90) x (9.8) = 882 newtons (about 198.4 pounds),
and that force tries to hold the block up, against gravity.

So while it's in the water, the block seems to weigh

   (3,528 - 882) = 2,646 newtons (about 595.2 pounds) .

But again ... it's not correct to call that the "force of gravity acting
on the block in water". The force of gravity doesn't change, but
there's another force, working against gravity, in the water.

Charge is distributed uniformly along a long straight wire. the electric field 2 cm from the wire is 20 n/c. the electric field

Serjik [45]

The electric field 4cm from the wire is

$É = 10nc { }^{ - 1}$

Given:

charge is distributed uniformly along a long straight wire.

electric field 2cm from the wire is 20n/c

To find:

electric field 4cm from the wire

what is electric field?

Electric field is the region around charge particle or charged body in which if another charge is placed it experiences electrostatic force.An electric field is the physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts force on all other charged particles in the field, either attracting or repelling them.

$E ∝ \frac{1}{r}$
