Physics

Marysya12 [62]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Transverse

Explanation:

There are two types of waves, according to the direction of their oscillation:

- Transverse waves: in a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves

- Longitudinal waves: in a longitudinal wave, the direction of the oscillation is parallel to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.

Light waves corresponds to the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes all the different types of electromagnetic waves (which consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave): therefore, they are transverse waves.

In a solution,a Is the substance being dissolved
Elena-2011 [213]
In a solution, a SOLUTE is the substance being dissolved.

In a solution, a SOLVENT is the substance in which something is dissolved.

For example in salt water, the salt is the solute. And the water is the solvent. Usually, which substance has a larger amount in the solution can be called a solvent. It doesn't matter if it's a gas, solid, or liquid. They can all be solute or solvents.

Basile [38]

Answer:

The mass will be "8.86 lb".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Force

= 70,000 mi/h

Speed

= 7900 mi/h

On applying the Law of momentum, we get

⇒  V_{1}m_{1}=V_{2}m_{2}

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒  70000 = 7900\times mass \ of \ deepspace \ 1

⇒  mass \ of \ deepspace \ 1 = \frac{70000}{7900}

⇒                                    =8.86 \ lb

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

circumference of the tyre = 2πr = 2 x 3.14 x 0.26 = 1.6328m

76000km = 76000000m

no of revolutions required

= 76000000/1.6328 = 46546 revolutions.
