Explanation:

There are two components of a longitudinal sound wave which are compression and rarefaction. Similarly, there are two components of the transverse wave, the crest, and trough.

The crest of a wave is defined as the part that has a maximum value of displacement while the trough is defined as the part which corresponds to minimum displacement.

While compression is that space where the particles are close together while the rarefaction is that space where the particles are far apart from each other.

So, the refraction or the rarefied part of a longitudinal sound wave is analogous to a trough of a transverse wave.

Answer:

Gravitational Potential Energy

Explanation:

a ball is held rest at the top of hill

gravitational potential energy will store due to its height

it. and body will start move downward and its potential energy will convert into kinetic energy due to motion of body

at the ground level it will stop and potential energy will became zero and kinetic energy get convert into internal energy due to collisions

A car is moving at a rate of 72 km/hr .How far does car move when it stop after 4 seconds?

Zanzabum

Answer:

Assuming it starts at 72 kmph and hits a dead stop: Divide 72 by 60 for distance per minute. So, 1.2km per minute. 1.2km is 1200m and 4 seconds is one fifteenth of a minute.
