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.

air passing over an airplanes wing travels ,and therefore exerts pressure.than air traveling beneath the wing.
pickupchik [31]
Bernoulli's principle of laminar/lamellar air flow, I think. High flow speed = low pressure, low flow speed = high pressure I think. So, the wings/aerofoils are designed to induce a low pressure on the top side of the wing and a high pressure on the underside of the wing, thus producing an "aerodynamic upthrust" (a static upthrust comes from an object in water via Archimedes) and LIFT. 

Two "particles" of air one going topside and the other underside meet again at the end of their motion across the wing. So, top side has to travel faster than bottom side. So top side has a lower "dynamic pressure" than underside.

And all that for 5 points ????????? (If I'm right, of course ... )

Through which medium is it impossible to transmit sound waves?.
dusya [7]

Answer: vacuum

Explanation: The vacuum is the medium from where the sound wave cannot pass. A vacuum is basically an area without any air. Since the sound wave is a mechanical wave that's why it cannot travel through a medium where there is no matter of vibrations to works in, i.e, it can't travel through a vacuum.

How did ALS impact Stephen Hawking?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Professor Hawking had just turned 21 when he was diagnosed with a very rare slow-progressing form of ALS, a form of motor neurone disease (MND). He was at the end of his time at Oxford when he started to notice early signs of his disease. He was getting more clumsy and fell over several times without knowing why.

Explanation:

none
