Answer:

1.) Longitudinal waves

2.) Transverse waves

3.) Longitudinal waves

Explanation:

The sound of one whale calling another whale underwater. is a longitudinal wave since the medium, in this case the body of water, is vibrating parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.

A pulse sent down a stretched rope by snapping one end of it. ( transverse wave) because its oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave or path of propagation

The vibrations in a guitar string

Longitudinal wave. Because its oscillations are parallel to the direction of the wave or path of propagation

A football is kicked from the ground with a velocity of 38m/s at an angle of 40 degrees and eventually lands at the same height.

Anastasy [175]

Initially, the velocity vector is $\langle 38cos(40^{\circ}),38sin(40^{\circ}) \rangle=\langle 29.110, 24.426 \rangle$ . At the same height, the x-value of the vector will be the same, and the y-value will be opposite (assuming no air resistance). Assuming perfect reflection off the ground, the velocity vector is the same. After 0.2 seconds at 9.8 seconds, the y-value has decreased by $4.9(0.2)^2$ , so the velocity is $\langle 29.110, 24.426-0.196 \rangle = \langle 29.110, 24.23 \rangle$ .

Converting back to direction and magnitude, we get $\langle r,\theta \rangle=\langle \sqrt{29.11^2+24.23^2},tan^{-1}(\frac{29.11}{24.23}) \rangle = \langle 37.87,50.2^{\circ}\rangle$

What amount of heat is required to raise the temperature of 25 grams of copper to cause a 15ºC change? The specific heat of copp

Lina20 [59]

The amount of heat required is B) 150 J

Explanation:

The amount of heat energy required to increase the temperature of a substance is given by the equation:

$Q=mC\Delta T$

where:

m is the mass of the substance

C is the specific heat capacity of the substance

$\Delta T$ is the change in temperature of the substance

For the sample of copper in this problem, we have:

m = 25 g (mass)

C = 0.39 J/gºC (specific heat capacity of copper)

$\Delta T = 15^{\circ}C$ (change in temperature)

Substituting, we find:

$Q=(25)(0.39)(15)=146 J$

So, the closest answer is B) 150 J.

If 2 grams of element X combine with 4 grams of element Y to form compound XY, how many grams of element Y would combine with 11

kykrilka [37]

This is sort of simple. 2 grams of X can combine with 4 grams of Y to form XY. Y is 2 times the amount of grams in X. So if there are 11 grams of X there are 22 grams of Y to form XY. Or you could take 11 divided by 2 is 5.5 and then multiply 4 by 5.5 to get 22. If this is wrong please tell me I would be very happy to know.
