Answer:

hey sally!

Explanation:

Sound waves are C) Transverse and longitudinal.

We can say that a wave is produced by the vibrations of the particles of the medium through which it passes.

There are two types of waves: Longitudinal waves and Transverse waves.

Longitudinal Waves: A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth in the ‘same direction’ in which the wave is moving. Medium can be solid, liquid or gases. Therefore, sound waves are longitudinal waves.

Transverse Waves: A wave in which the particles of the medium vibrate up and down ‘at right angles’ to the direction in which the wave is moving. These waves are produced only in a solids and liquids but not in gases.

Answer:

Sound waves are longitudinal in nature.

Explanation:

There are many types of waves like transverse, longitudinal, electromagnetic wave etc.

Sound waves are longitudinal in nature. In longitudinal type of wave, the medium particles moves parallel to the propagation of the wave. This type of waves move in the form of compression and rarefaction.

In compression, the particle density at a point is very less while in rarefaction, the particle density at a point is very high.

So, the correct option is (b) "longitudinal wave".

2. The components of vector A are given as follows:

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

50 degree.

Explanation:

Given that the components of vector A are given as follows: Ax = 5.6 Ay = -4.7

The angle between vector A and B in the positive direction of x-axis will be achieved by using the formula:

Tan Ø = Ay/Ax

Substitute Ay and Ax into the formula above.

Tan Ø = -4.7 / 5.6

Tan Ø = -0.839

Ø = tan^-1(-0. 839)

Ø = - 40 degree

Therefore, the angle between vector A and B positive direction of x-axis will be

90 - 40 = 50 degree.

A wave is represented by the equation y = 0.20 sin [ 0.4π (x – 60t)], where x and y are in cm and t is in s. The velocity of the

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

v = 60 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

A wave is represented by the equation :

$y=0.2\sin [0.4\pi (x-60)t]$

We need to find the velocity of the wave

The general equation of a wave is given by :

$y=A\sin (kx-\omega t)$ ....(1)

Equation (1) can be written as :

$y=0.2\sin (0.4\pi x-24\pi t)$ ...(2)

If we compare equation (1) and (2) we get :

$k=0.4\pi$

$\omega=24\pi$

The velocity of a wave is given by :

$v=\dfrac{\omega}{k}\\\\v=\dfrac{24\pi}{0.4\pi}\\\\v=60\ m/s$

So, the velocity of the wave is 60 m/s.
