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).

How can one object affect the motion of another without touching it?

stealth61 [152]

By non-contact forces (e.g. gravitational force and electric force)

Explanation:

In order for an object to exert a force on another object, the two object can also be not touching each other. In fact, there exist some non-contact forces in nature.

Concerning macroscopic objects, the two main non-contact forces acting between objects are:

- The gravitational force: this force is exerted between every object that has mass. It is always attractive, and its magnitude is given by

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

- The electric force: this force is exerted between objects that have electric charge. It can be either attractive or repulsive, and its magnitude is given by

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where:

$k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

$q_1, q_2$ are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

What would be the mass of a sample containing 0.7 mol of pure tungsten?. . 0.04 g. . 51.8 g. . 128.7 g. . 262.6 g.

mojhsa [17]

There are several information's of immense importance already given in the question. The answer to the question can be easily determined using those available information's.

Mr of pure tungsten = 183.84
Mass of tungsten = Mole * Mr
= 0.7 * 183.84
= 128.7 gm
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or the penultimate option.
