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 is mercury barometer constructed ?<br>​
olganol [36]

Answer:

A  mercury barometer is a device use to measure stomspheric pressure and is constructed as following:

  • A mercury barometer requires a tube which has one close end, and one open end.
  • Tube is placed upside down in a beaker in such a way so that one end open in the beaker and the other remain outside of the beaker.
  • The barometric liquid (mercury) is then filled in the tube by pouring mercury liquid in the beaker.

The position of tube creates vacuum between the closed end of the tube and liquid surface and the Mercury has high density that is why used as the liquid to measure pressure.

An object is moving along the x axis. At t = 5.6 s, the object is at x = +3.0 m and has a velocity of +5.7 m/s. At t = 8.5 s, it
Debora [2.8K]

The average acceleration between t = 5.6 s and t = 8.5 s is 2.31  m/s²

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration is defined as the rate change of velocity with time.

acceleration a = (Δv) / (Δt)

An object is moving with initial velocity u =5.7 m/s and its final velocity v= -1.0 m/s.

Time taken for the change in speed, t= 8.5 - 5.6 = 2.9 seconds

The acceleration is given by

a = (-1 - 5.7)/ 2.9

a = -  2.31 m/s²

|a | = 2.31 m/s²

Thus, the object's acceleration is 2.31 m/s²

Suppose an individual is lying on his stomach with sheets of paper stacked on his back. If each sheet of paper has a mass of 0.0
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

N = 177843 sheets

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass;m = 0.0035 kg

Pressure; p = 101325 pa = 101325 N/m²

L = 0.279m

W = 0.216m

The weight of N sheets is N(mg)

Where;

m is the mass of one sheet

N is number of sheets

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The pressure equals weight divided by the area on which the weight presses:

Thus,

p= F/A = Nmg/(L•W)

Therefore, making N the subject;

N = pLW/(mg)

N = 101325 x 0.279 x 0.216/ (0.0035 x 9.81)

N = 177843
