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".

A stationary boat in the ocean is experiencing waves from a storm. the waves move at 56 km/h and have a wavelength of 160 m, bot

Lera25 [3.4K]

The wavelength $\lambda$ of the wave is 160 m, and this is the distance between two consecutive crests. The boat is located at a crest of the wave, this means that the first trough is located 80 meters from the boat (because the distance between a crest and a trough is half the wavelength).

The speed of the wave is
$v=56 km/h = 15.6 m/s$
so the time the boat takes to reach the first trough is
$t= \frac{S}{v} = \frac{80 m}{15.6 m/s}=5.1 s$

A small logo is embedded in a thick block of crown glass (n = 1.52), 4.70 cm beneath the top surface of the glass. The block is

harkovskaia [24]

The concept required to solve this problem is the optical relationship that exists between the apparent depth and actual or actual depth. This is mathematically expressed under the equations.

$d'w = d_w (\frac{n_{air}}{n_w})+d_g (\frac{n_{air}}{n_g})$

Where,

$d_g =$ Depth of glass

$n_w =$ Refraction index of water

$n_g =$ Refraction index of glass

$n_{air} =$ Refraction index of air

$d_w =$ Depth of water

I enclose a diagram for a better understanding of the problem, in this way we can determine that the apparent depth in the water of the logo would be subject to

$d'w = d_w (\frac{n_{air}}{n_w})+d_g (\frac{n_{air}}{n_g})$

$d'w = (1.7cm) (\frac{1}{1.33})+(4.2cm)(\frac{1}{1.52})$

$d'w = 4.041cm$

Therefore the distance below the upper surface of the water that appears to be the logo is 4.041cm

A set of four capacitors are attached to a 12V battery in the circuit shown below. All capacitances are measured in milli-Farads

Bond [772]

The amount of electric charge that resides on each capacitor once it is fully charged is 0.37 C.

<h3>Total capacitance of the circuit</h3>

The total capacitance of the circuit is calculated as follows;

Capacitors in series;

1/Ct = 1/8 + 1/7.5

1/Ct = 0.25833

Ct = 3.87 mF

Capacitors is parallel;

Ct = 3.87 mF + 12 mF + 15 mF

Ct = 30.87 mF

Ct = 0.03087 F

<h3>Charge in each capacitor</h3>

Q = CV

Q = 0.03087 x 12

Q = 0.37 C

Thus, the amount of electric charge that resides on each capacitor once it is fully charged is 0.37 C.
