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.

16. For this table of data, how should the y-axis be labeled (with units)?

Answer:

The y-axis should be labelled as W in Newtons (kg·m/s²)

Explanation:

The given data is presented here as follows;

Mass (kg) ${}$ Newtons (kg·m/s²)

3.2 ${}$ 31.381

4.6 ${}$ 45.1111

6.1 ${}$ 59.821

7.4 ${}$ 72.569

9 ${}$ 89.241

10.4 ${}$ 101.989

10.9 ${}$ 106.892

From the table, it can be seen that there is a nearly linear relationship between the amount of Newtons and the mass, as the slope of the data has a relatively constant slope

Therefore, the data can be said to be a function of Weight in Newtons to the mass in kilograms such that the weight depends on the mass as follows;

W(m) in Newtons = Mass, m in kg × g

Where;

g is the constant of proportionality

Therefore, the y-axis component which is the dependent variable is the function, W(m) = Weight of the body while the x-axis component which is the independent variable is the mass. m

The graph of the data is created with Microsoft Excel give the slope which is the constant of proportionality, g = 9.8379, which is the acceleration due to gravity g ≈ 9.8 m/s²

We therefore label the y-axis as W in Newtons (kg·m/s²)
