What is the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves? Transverse waves always travel at smaller speeds than do longi

tudinal waves. In a transverse wave the disturbance always occurs perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels, whereas in a longitudinal wave the disturbance always occurs parallel to the line of travel of the wave. Transverse waves always carry more energy than do longitudinal waves. In a transverse wave the disturbance always occurs parallel to the line of travel of the wave, whereas in a longitudinal wave the disturbance always occurs perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels. Transverse waves always have greater frequencies than do longitudinal waves.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Water normally freezes at 0°C (32°F). Salt lowers the freezing temperature. (That is, it can remain a liquid at much lower temperatures.)

When sprinkled on ice, the salt lowers the freezing temperature of the water which effectively melts the ice when the salt dissolves into it. There is a limit to how low it can reduce the temperature, though. If the temperature drops below -9°C (15°F), it's too cold for the salt to dissolve into the ice.

When making ice cream, the salt lowers the temperature of the ice and water sufficiently enough to freeze the cream.

Bumek [7]

Answer:

C. Positively charged

Explanation:

The plum pudding model of the atom proposes by J. J. Thomson consisted of electrons which lay embedded as the raisins within a dough or soup that was positively charged. The electron was discovered by J. J. Thomson in 1897 through cathode ray tube experiments.

Based on the plum pudding model, if all the negatively charge electrons contained in an atom are removed, the material remaining will be the <em>positively charged</em> soup
