A compass works the way it does because Earth has a magnetic field that looks a lot like the one in a magnet. The Earth's field is completely invisible, but it can be felt by a compass needle on the Earth's surface, and it reaches thousands of miles out into space.
<h2>
So, the correct answers are:</h2>
Travels in longitudinal waves
Travels most slowly through a gas
Speeds up when temperature is increased
Is caused by vibration
Explanation for correct answers:
Yes, it does travel in longitudinal waves
Yes, sounds weird, but travels faster in the water
Yes, does speed up when temperature is increased
And yes, Is caused by vibration.
<h2>
Wrong answer is:</h2>
Can travel through a vacuum
Explanation for wrong answer:
actually, in space, there is NO sound, because there are no particals for the sound to vibrate with, there's just empty SPACE.
Answer:
The equivalent stiffness of the string is 8.93 N/m.
Explanation:
Given that,
Spring stiffness is





According to figure,
and
is in series
We need to calculate the equivalent
Using formula for series


Put the value into the formula


k and
is in parallel
We need to calculate the k'
Using formula for parallel

Put the value into the formula


,k' and
is in series
We need to calculate the equivalent stiffness of the spring
Using formula for series

Put the value into the formula


Hence, The equivalent stiffness of the string is 8.93 N/m.
Basic truss bridge types found in North Carolina (source: HAER) A truss bridge can be characterized by the location of its traffic deck. At a pony truss, the travel surface passes along the bottom chords of trusses standing to either side that are not connected to each other at the top.
