Sound is a longitudinal wave.
Answer:

Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of a Hubble Space Telescope, 
It orbits the Earth at an altitude of 
We need to find the potential energy the telescope at this location. The formula for potential energy is given by :

Where
is the mass of Earth
Put all the values,

So, the potential energy of the telescope is
.
Answer:
The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.
Explanation:
In this exercise we see a case of an entirely inellastic collision between the semi truck and the car, which can be described by the following equation derived from Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation: (We assume that velocity oriented northwards is positive)
(1)
Where:
,
- Masses of the semi truck and the car, measured in kilograms.
,
- Initial velocities of the semi truck and the car, measured in meters per second.
- Final speed of the system after collision, measured in meters per second.
If we know that
,
,
and
, then the initial velocity of the semi truck is:





The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.
