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 90 meters north in 15 seconds. Then turns around and travels at 40 meters south in 5.0 seconds. what is the averag

Viefleur [7K]

Average velocity = (displacement) / (total time)

Displacement = distance and direction between
the starting point and the end point

The car travels 90 meters north, then 40 meters south.
So it ends up 50 meters north of where it began.

Displacement = 50 meters north
Total time = (15 + 5) = 20 seconds

Average velocity = (50 meters north) / (20 seconds)

= 2.5 m/s north

A resistor is made out of a long wire having a length L. Each end of the wire is attached to a termina of a battery providing a

Len [333]

Answer:

B) 2I

Explanation:

The equation that relates voltage, current and resistance is V=RI.

The equation for the resistance of a material in terms of its resistivity, length and cross-sectional area is $R=\frac{\rho L}{A}$

In this case, the length is divided by 2 while keeping its resistivity (since it's the same material) and area, which means the resistance gets divided by 2. Then, looking at the equation I=V/R and keeping V constant, one deduces that since the resistance now is half than before then current now must be twice as before.

This is all intuitive in fact, cuting a homogeneous resistor in half and leaving the rest of the variables constant makes twice as easy for the electrons to cross the conductor, thus twice the current (one has to know that all the variables involved behave linearly, as the equations show).

Krista is playing tennis at the park. When the tennis ball flies toward her, Krista hits the ball with her racket, which causes

xenn [34]

Answer:

B. When the racket hits the tennis ball with a force, the tennis ball applies an equal but opposite force to the racket.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's third law of motion every action has equal and opposite reaction. So, when the force is applied by the racket on the ball then the ball also applies an equal intensity of force in the opposite direction on the racket. It is just that the the force on the racket is absorbed by the player holding it.

How do you calculate a bearing angle and its equivalent angle?

denis-greek [22]

Explanation:

A bearing if an angle is measured clockwise from north direction.
