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".

Question 30

stellarik [79]

Answer: $0.69\°$

Explanation:

The angular diameter $\delta$ of a spherical object is given by the following formula:

$\delta=2 sin^{-1}(\frac{d}{2D})$

Where:

$d=16 m$ is the actual diameter

$D=1338 m$ is the distance to the spherical object

Hence:

$\delta=2 sin^{-1}(\frac{16 m}{2(1338 m)})$

$\delta=0.685\° \approx 0.69\°$ This is the angular diameter

Compute your average velocity in the following two cases: (a) You walk 50.2 m at a speed of 2.21 m/s and then run 50.2 m at a sp

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

a) 2.87 m/s

b) 3.23 m/s

Explanation:

The avergare velocity can be found dividing the length traveled d by the total time t.

For the first part we easily know the total traveled length which is:

d = 50.2 m + 50.2 m = 100.4 m

The time can be found dividing the distance by the velocity:

t1 = 50.2 m / 2.21 m/s = 22.7149 s

t2 = 50.2 m / 4.11 m/s = 12.2141 s

t = t1 +t2 = 34.9290 s

Therefore, the average velocity is:

v = d/t =2.87 m/s

Here we can easily know the total time:

t = 1 min + 1.16 min = 129.6 s

Now the distance wil be found multiplying each velocity by the time it has travelled:

d1 = 2.21 m/s * 60 s = 132.6 m

d2 = 4.11 m/s *(1.16 * 60 s) = 286.056 m

d = 418.656 m

Therefore, the average velocity is:

v = d/t =3.23 m/s

A flat sheet of ice has a thickness of 2.20 cm. It is on top of a flat sheet of crystalline quartz that has a thickness of 1.50

kolezko [41]

Answer:

$Distance_{vaccum}=5.19cm$

Explanation:

The speed of light in these mediums shall be lower than that in vacuum thus the total time light needs to cross both the media are calculated as under

Total time = Time taken through ice + Time taken through quartz

Time taken through ice = Thickness of ice / (speed of light in ice)

$T_{ice}=\frac{2.20\times 10^{-2} \times \mu _{ice}}{V_{vaccum}}$

$T_{quartz}=\frac{1.50\times 10^{-2} \times \mu _{quartz}}{V_{vaccum}}$

Thus in the same time the it would had covered a distance of

$Distance_{vaccum}=Totaltime\times V_{vaccum}\\\\Distance_{vaccum}=10^{-2}[2.20\mu _{ice+1.50\mu _{quartz}}]$

we have

$\mu _{ice}=1.309\\\\\mu _{quartz}=1.542$

Applying values we have

$Distance_{vaccum}=10^{-2}[2.20\times 1.309+1.50\times 1.542]$

$Distance_{vaccum}=5.19cm$

Why do fundamental needs form the foundation of Maslow’s hierarchy

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

After we satisfy our basic needs, they no longer serve as motivators and we can begin to satisfy higher-order needs. Maslow organized human needs into a pyramid that includes (from lowest-level to highest-level) physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization needs.
