The correct answer to the question is : Transverse wave.

EXPLANATION :

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand the longitudinal and transverse wave.

LONGITUDINAL WAVE : A longitudinal wave is a mechanical wave in which the direction of vibration of particles is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. It moves in the form of compression and rarefaction.

For instance, sound wave.

TRANSVERSE WAVE : A transverse wave is a mechanical wave in which the direction of vibration of particles is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. It moves in the form of crests and troughs.

For instance, the wave created in a pond when a stone is dropped into it.

Hence, the correct answer of this question is transverse wave.

The valence electrons of metals are weakly attracted to the parent nuclei, so the electrons break free and float. The moving electrons form a electron negative blanket that binds the atomic positive nuclei together, forming a metallic bond.

So the answers are { Negative } and { Positive }.

Calculate the Force of Gravity acting on an object that has a mass of 1.3 kg. The object is on Earth so use 9.8m/s2 for the acce

sweet-ann [11.9K]

To calculate the gravitational force acting on an object given the mass and the acceleration due to gravity, use the following formula.

Fg = m • g
Fg = 1.3 kg • 9.8 m/s^2
Fg = 12.74 N or about 12.7 N.

The solution is C. 12.7 N.

Why do hot stars look bluer than cool stars?

brilliants [131]

Answer:

(B) The wavelength that a star radiates the most energy is inversely proportional to the temperature.

Explanation:

As we know that

According to Wien's law wavelength is inverse proportional to the temperature .

λ.T = Constant.

λ.∝ 1 /T

As we know that star radiates wavelength and this wavelength is inverse proportional to the temperature of the star.

The temperature of cool star is cooler than the temperature of hot star that is cool star looks red and hot star looks blue.Cool star have low energy and hot star have high energy.

So option B is correct.

(B) The wavelength that a star radiates the most energy is inversely proportional to the temperature.

Which of the following describes the way heat is transferred in a geyser?

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Heat is transferred by the hot air or water moving to a cooler area. The elements rotate in circular motions, giving the geyser pressure.
