'In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the flow of energy' is true for transverse waves only.

'In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the flow of energy' is true for longitudinal waves only.

'Many wave motions in nature are a combination of longitudinal and transverse motion' is true for both longitudinal and transverse waves.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Longitudinal waves are those where the direction of propagation of particles are parallel to the medium' particles. While transverse waves propagate perpendicular to the medium' particles.

As wave motions are assumed to be of standing waves which comprises of particles moving parallel as well as perpendicular to the medium, most of the wave motions are composed of longitudinal and transverse motion.

So the option stating the medium' particle moves perpendicular to the direction of the energy flow is true for transverse waves. Similarly, the option stating the medium' particle moves parallel to the direction of flow of energy is true for longitudinal waves only.

And the option stating that wave motions comprises of combination of longitudinal and transverse motion is true for both of them.

Determine the number of ways the faces of a regular tetrahedron can be colored with three colors
GREYUIT [131]
Tetrahedron is a geometrical figure or solid that is formed in similar manner as a pyramid. The faces of the formed pyramid are triangles. Also is the base. 

By the statement above, it can be deduced that the figure has four sides. The number of ways in which the sides can be colored by any of the three (3) colors is,
             3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 81

Since the sides can still have the same colors, we deduct this value by 3 in order to eliminate the uniform colors of the four sides.
             = 81 - 3 = 78

Also, we can eliminate the concern on only two colors can mix,
              = 3 x 2 = 6
 Subtracting,
                      78 - 6 = 72

Hence, the answer is 72.

sladkih [1.3K]

When a plane travels 395,000 meters in 9,000 seconds its speed is 395,000 ÷ 9000 = 43.888888 (the 8 repeats) meters per second.

How did equity in the 2008 crisis?
MArishka [77]

Answer:

While the causes of the bubble are disputed, the precipitating factor for the Financial Crisis of 2007–2008 was the bursting of the United States housing bubble and the subsequent subprime mortgage crisis, which occurred due to a high default rate and resulting foreclosures of mortgage loans, particularly adjustable. Hope this helps!

A 0.150 kg ball is fired from toy gun with a spring with spring constant k- 150 N/m, initially compressed by a distance x 0.050
Degger [83]

Answer:

v = 4.264 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the ball, m = 0.15 kg

Spring constant of the spring, k = 150 N/m

The spring is compressed by a distance, x = 0.05 m

The pellet's initial velocity is at an angle θ (θ < 90) above the horizontal.

Let v is the final speed of the projectile when it is at a distance h = 0.800 m below its initial height. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :

E_i=E_f

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2+mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

\dfrac{1}{2}\times 150\times (0.05)^2+0.15\times 9.8\times 0.8=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.15\times v^2

v = 4.264 m/s

So, the final speed of the projectile is 4.264 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
