I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Which of the following statements is true with regard to transverse and longitudinal waves?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer: Transverse waves have motion perpendicular to velocity, while longitudinal waves have motion parallel to velocity.

Explanation:

Transverse waves are characterized by the fact that the particles of the medium in which they propagate move transversely to the direction of propagation of the wave.

In other words,<u> its displacement is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave</u>, being a good example the circular waves in the water.

On the other hand, Longitudinal waves are characterized by the fact that <u>the oscillation of the particles in the medium is parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.</u> A good example of this is the sound wave.

A car travels on a straight, level road. (a) Starting from rest, the car is going 38 ft/s (26 mi/h) at the end of 4.0 s. What is

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

$a)9.5\frac{ft}{s^2}\\ b) 12.66\frac{ft}{s^2}$

Explanation:

A body has acceleration when there is a change in the velocity vector, either in magnitude or direction. In this case we only have a change in magnitude. The average acceleration represents the speed variation that takes place in a given time interval.

$a_{avg}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\a_{avg}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}- t_{i}}\\a_{avg}=\frac{38\frac{ft}{s}-0}{4 s- 0}=9.5\frac{ft}{s^2}\\$

$a_{avg}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\a_{avg}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}- t_{i}}\\a_{avg}=\frac{76\frac{ft}{s}-38\frac{ft}{s}}{7 s- 4s}\\a_{avg}=\frac{38\frac{ft}{s}}{3s}=12.66\frac{ft}{s^2}$

Why is force not on a scalar quantity??

snow_lady [41]

Because force always has a direction, it always works towards or against something.

you might know that force,
is rate of change of momentum i.e

force = m (v-u)/t
= (mv - mu )/ t

as we know momentum is a vector quantity so, the rate of change of momentum i.e Force would also be a vector quantity.

momentum = mass × velocity

velocity has a direction so,
momentum has also got a direction.
so, momentum is also a vector quantity.

Using the scientific definition of work, does moving an object a greater amount of distance always require a greater amount of w

tester [92]

The answer is no. If you are dealing with a conservative force and the object begins and ends at the same potential then the work is zero, regardless of the distance travelled. This can be shown using the work-energy theorem which states that the work done by a force is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object.
W=KEf−KEi
An example of this would be a mass moving on a frictionless curved track under the force of gravity.
The work done by the force of gravity in moving the objects in both case A and B is the same (=0, since the object begins and ends with zero velocity) but the object travels a much greater distance in case B, even though the force is constant in both cases.
