What is the difference between three types of mechanical waves?

Physics

Amanda [17]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u>

There are three kinds of mechanical waves depending upon the direction in which they travel or propagate through the medium.

(i) Longitudinal waves

(ii) Transverse waves

(iii) Surface waves

In transverse waves, the particles tend to move in a direction at right angles to the waves whereas in longitudinal waves, they move in parallel direction to each other. When it comes to surface waves they lie in circular motion.

Answer:

In longitudinal waves, particles travel in the direction parallel to that of the wave motion where as in transverse waves, particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion and in surface waves, particles in the medium move in a circular motion.A good example of longitudinal waves is sound waves. Vibrating a string on the ground can serve as an example of transverse wave.For surface waves, the ocean waves travelling on the surface can illustrate the cicular movement of particles in the water.

Effects of the earths orbit around the sun

<h3><u>Effects of the earths orbit around the sun:</u></h3>

The earth moves around the sun in an elliptical orbit, Johannes Kepler, a "German mathematician, and astronomer" described this elliptical orbit first. The orbit is close to being a circle but not a circle. Earth orbiting the sun mainly effects on seasons on earth.

Earth's four seasons are determined when Earth is tilted 23.4 degrees on the vertical axis, which is called as “axial tilt”. When a "southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun", it experiences summer and northern hemisphere experiences winter, exactly opposite happens when northern hemisphere tilts towards Sun and this climate change goes on in all countries.

1. The following can be inferred from Newton’s second law of motion except:
lora16 [44]

Answer: 1.d) The acceleration of an object is always less than the acceleration due to gravity, g (9.81m/s^-2)

2.a)acceleration decreases

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is defined by two variables which is the total force acting on the object and the mass of that object. The acceleration is directly proportional to the net force that is applied on an object and inversely proportional to the mass of that object.

When the force applied on an object is increased so does the acceleration of an object however if the mass increase the acceleration decreases.

This can be felt when you look at the truck which usually carry heavy loads they seem to drive slow due to the load hence their acceleration is decreased by the mass that these truck carry .
