Difference
Compression wave also longitudinal wave are wave whose vibration of particles is parallel to the wave motion. Water waves are transverse waves, such that the vibration of particles is perpendicular to the direction at which the wave is travelling.
Similarity
Both are mechanical wave such that they require a material medium for transmission; water wave require water as the material medium, while longitudinal waves such as sound require medium such air, string. Additionally, all these waves are oscillations that carry energy from one place to another.

A 15.0 cm object is 12.0 cm from a convex mirror that has a focal length of -6.0 cm. What is the height of the image produced by
Vlad [161]

Answer: D. 5cm

Explanation:

Given the following :

Focal length (f) = - 6.0 cm

Height of object = 15.0cm

Distance of object from mirror (u) = 12.0cm

Height of image produced by the mirror =?

Firstly, we calculate the distance of the image from the mirror.

Using the mirror formula

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = 1/-6 - 1/12

1/v = - 1/6 - 1/12

1/v = (- 2 - 1) / 12

1/v = - 3 / 12

v = 12 / - 3

v = - 4

Using the relation :

(Image height / object height) = (- image distance / object distance)

Image height / 15 = - (-4) / 12

Image height / 15 = 4 / 12

Image height = (15 × 4) / 12

Image height = 60 / 12

Image height = 5cm

Two objects having masses m1 and m2 are connected to each other as shown in the figure and are released from rest. There is no f
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:m_1g

Explanation:

Given

Two masses m_1  and m_2  is released and there is tension T in the string

Suppose a is the acceleration of the system

Therefore from Diagram

For m_1

T-m_1g=m_1a

T=m_1(g+a)------1

for m_2 body

m_2g-T=m_2a

T=m_2(g-a)-------2

From above two Equation it is said that Tension is greater than m_1g and less than m_2g

m_1g
