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

Answer:

The average recoil force on the gun during that 0.40 s burst is 45 N.

Explanation:

Mass of each bullet, m = 7.5 g = 0.0075 kg

Speed of the bullet, v = 300 m/s

Time, t = 0.4 s

The change in momentum of an object is equal to impulse delivered. So,
