Similar:
-
For transverse waves, the waves move in perpendicular direction to the source of vibration.
For longitudinal waves, the waves move in parallel direction to the source of vibration .
They are similar in the sense that energy is transferred in the form of waves.
-
Difference:
-
Transverse Waves: Displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.
Longitudinal Waves: Displacement of the medium is parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.

Answer:

The charge on the ball bearing 4.507 × 10^-8 C

Explanation:

From Coulomb's law

F = kq1q2/r²

make q2 the subject

q2 = Fr²/kq1

q2 = (1.8×10^-2 × 0.026²) ÷ (9×10^9 × 30×10^-9)

q2 = 4.507 × 10^-8 C
