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.

They are formed when two plates collide, either crumpling up and forming mountains or pushing one of the plates under the other and back into the mantle to melt. Convergent boundaries form strong earthquakes, as well as volcanic mountains or islands, when the sinking oceanic plate melts.

A lumberjack (mass = 103 kg) is standing at rest on one end of a floating log (mass = 255 kg) that is also at rest. The lumberja
mina [271]

Answer:

(a) -1.18 m/s

(b) 0.84 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

The total linear momentum before the lumberjack begins to move is zero because all parts of the system are at res

From the law of conservation of momentum

m1v1+m2v2=0 hence m1v1=-m2v2 where m1 is mass of lumberjack, v1 is velocity of lumberjeck, m2 is mass of floating log, v2 is velocity of the floating log.

Substituting M1 for 103 Kg, V1 for 2.93 m/s, M2 for 255 Kg into the above equation we obtain

103Kg*2.93 m/s=-255Kg*V2

V2=-(103 kg*2.93 m/s)/255=-1.183490196  m/s

Hence V2=-1.18 m/s

(b)

For the second log

V(M1+M2)=m1v1 where V is the common velocity

V(103 Kg+255 Kg)=103 Kg*2.93 m/s

V=(103 Kg*2.93 m/s)/(103 Kg+255 Kg)=0.842988827  m/s

V=0.84 m/s

12. Taking the age of Earth to be about 4×10^9 years and assuming its orbital radius of 1.5 ×10^11 m has not changed and is circ
lana66690 [7]

The approximate total distance Earth has traveled since its birth is 3.8×10²¹m.

The Earth moves in a circular orbit of radius <em>r</em> around the Sun and it takes 1 year to go once around the Sun. Thus in a year it travels a distance equal to <em>2πr, </em>which is the circumference of the Earth's orbit.

Therefore in <em>n</em> years that have elapsed, it would travel a distance <em>d</em> given by,

d=2\pi rn

Substitute 3.14 for <em>π, </em>1.5×10¹¹m for <em>r</em> and 4×10⁹ for n.

d=2\pi rn\\= 2(3.14)(1.5*10^1^1m)(4*10^9)\\ =3.768*10^2^1m=3.8*10^2^1m

Thus, the approximate total distance Earth has traveled since its birth is 3.8×10²¹m.
