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).

Why is Pluto now called a dwarf planet
zvonat [6]
Before Pluto was discovered, it was predicted. Astronomers had observed that massive objects can affect the orbits of its neighbors, and, after seeing deviations in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, assumed something substantial existed beyond their orbits.
When Pluto was spotted, it was thought to be the predicted object and was identified as a ninth planet.
A few decades later, astronomers started discovering more and more objects around other stars and didn’t know whether to call them planets or not. There appeared to be a need to define what a planet means, and that led to what some people consider Pluto’s demotion to a dwarf planet.
The International Astronomical Union decided that full-sized planets must orbit the sun, have a round shape, and have cleared their orbits of other objects. Pluto fulfills the first two criteria, but not the third.
It still goes around the sun, it’s round enough, it’s got moons, and behaves like a planet, but the idea is that Pluto did not form the same way as the rest of the planets. Pluto’s orbit is both eccentric and inclined more than the rest of the planets by about 17 degrees. That’s suggests something is different about this object.
This debate about whether to call it a planet or not is silly, because it doesn’t matter to Pluto what you call it. It is an interesting object, goes around the sun, and shows geology and an atmosphere.
There’s a tendency to define objects based on what they are now, but nothing is constant in the universe. There are some issues with the nomenclature, and a definition today may not apply to the same object tomorrow.

True or false gravitational pull decreases with an increase of distance between two objects​
ohaa [14]

Answer:

true! : )

(i underlined the place where the answer is the other information is just as important but if you do not want to read it you do not have to)

Explanation:

Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases. the greater the mass, the greater the gravitational pull. <u>gravitational pull decreases with an increase in the distance between two objects.</u> Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases.

If a puddle of water is frozen, do the particles in the ice have kinetic energy? Explain.
TEA [102]
They have some but not very much, the particles in the ice are still vibrating just not as much as in water. the only time a substance would have 0 kinetic energy is when that substance is at 0 degrees kelvin(absolute zero) so far no place in the universe has been recorded at absolute zero though

Hi, time is independent variable. It's stands alone and isn't change by anything.
Temperature is dependant variable (depends on time)

What is the heat capacity of an object at 25.5∘C that absorbs 45 kJ of heat and is heated to 28.2∘C?
sergey [27]

Answer:

16.6 kJ/°C

Explanation:

given,

Amount of heat absorbed = 45 kJ

initial temperature, T₁ = 25.5°C

final temperature, T₂ = 28.2°C

change in temperature = T₂ - T₁

                                       = 28.2 - 25.5  = 2.7° C

Heat\ capacity = \dfrac{Heat\ absorbed}{\Delta T}

Heat\ capacity = \dfrac{45\ kJ}{2.7}

Heat\ capacity = 16.6\ kJ/^0C

Heat capacity of the object is equal to 16.6 kJ/°C
