The correct answer to the question is parallel.

EXPLANATION:

Before answering the question, first we have to understand a longitudinal wave.

A longitudinal wave is a type of mechanical wave in which the particle vibration is parallel to the direction of wave propagation.

In this type of wave, one will find compression and rarefaction . Compression is the high pressure region where particles are closely aggregated to each other while rarefaction is the low pressure region where particles are far away from each other. Hence, a longitudinal wave is a series of compression and rarefaction.

The transfer of energy occurs from particle to particle. On the other hand, we may say that transfer of energy takes place from compression to rarefaction, and this process is repeated.

Hence, the longitudinal waves transfer energy parallel to the direction of the wave motion.

Two trains start a journey at the same time 120 miles apart, travelling towards each other. The first train is travelling at 60

Ludmilka [50]

The space between them is shrinking at (60+40)= 100 mph. It started out being 120 miles. To shrink to zero will take

(120 miles) / (100 mph) = 1.2 hours

That's 1 hour and 12 minutes.

In anticipation of a long 10 upgrade, a bus driver accelerates at a constant rate of 5 ft/s2 while still on a level section of a

fgiga [73]

Answer:

$S = 20903.4$ ft

Explanation:

First we will determine the acceleration of the bus while it is moving upward

The equilibrium equation would be

$F - W sin\theta = ma'\\ma - W sin\theta = ma'\\m = \frac{W}{g} \\\frac{W}{g}*a - W sin\theta = \frac{W}{g} * a'\\\frac{a}{g} - sin\theta = \frac{a'}{g}\\\frac{x}{y} \frac{5}{32.2} - sin 10 = \frac{a'}{32.2} \\\a' = -0.59$

Let the displacement be $S_0$

As per newton's third law of motion

$v^2 -u^2 = 2as\\u = 80 \frac{mi}{h} = 117.33\frac{ft}{s}\\v = 50 \frac{mi}{h} = 73.33\frac{ft}{s}\\73.33 ^ 2 - 117.33^2 = 2 * (-0.59) * (S-S_0)\\\\S_0 = 0\\S = 20903.4$

Dovator [93]

Answer:

Climate change, where there is an increase in the average temperature, due to continuous human activities. These activities increase greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Alaska is the largest state in the United States, and it has a cold climate. The climate changed over time as human activities such as coal mining contributed to greenhouse gas emissions leading to global warming. Over the years. the variations in weather leading to climate change melt the permafrost (frozen ground below the soil surface) causing ocean waves to erode the land and destroy property.
