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.

in transverse wave the disturbance always occur perpendicularto the direction. in wich the wave travels. where as longitudinal wava is disturbance always occur parallel to the direction in wich the wave travels.

Take another look at lines 2 and 3. Suppose you use distance and time between any pair of neighboring dots to calculate speed:
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Add the two speeds together.

Then, divide the sum by two. This will give you the average speed for the entire trip. So, if Ben traveled 40 mph for 2 hours, then 60 mph for another 2 hours, his average speed is 50 mph.

200 kW of solar radiation is shining on a 300 m^2 parking lot. What is the insulation on the parking lot?
ale4655 [162]

That's "<em><u>insolation</u></em>" ... not "insulation".

'Insolation' is simply the intensity of solar radiation over some area.

If 200 kW of radiation is shining on 300 m² of area, then the insolation is

           (200 kW) / (300 m²) = <em>(666 and 2/3) watt/m²</em> .

Note that this is the intensity of the <em><u>incident</u></em> radiation.  It doesn't say anything
about how much soaks in or how much bounces off.

Wait ! 
I just looked back at the choices, and realized that I didn't answer the question
at all.  I have no idea what  "1 sun"  means.  Forgive me.  I have stolen your
points, and I am filled with remorse.

Wait again !
I found it, through literally several seconds of online research.

           1 sun = 1 kW/m².

So 2/3 of a kW per m²  =  2/3 of 1 sun

That's between 0.5 sun and 1.0 sun.

I feel better now, and plus, I learned something.

A river flows due east at 1.60 m/s. A boat crosses the river from the south shore to the north shore by maintaining a constant v
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

part (a) v\ =\ 10.42\ at\ 81.17^o towards north east direction.

part (b) s = 46.60 m

Explanation:

Given,

  • velocity of the river due to east = v_r\ =\ 1.60\ m/s.
  • velocity of the boat due to the north = v_b\ =\ 10.3\ m/s.

part (a)

River is flowing due to east and the boat is moving in the north, therefore both the velocities are perpendicular to each other and,

Hence the resultant velocity i,e, the velocity of the boat relative to the shore is in the North east direction. velocities are the vector quantities, Hence the resultant velocity is the vector addition of these two velocities and the angle between both the velocities are 90^o

Let 'v' be the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.

\therefore v\ =\ \sqrt{v_r^2\ +\ v_b^2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ \sqrt{1.60^2\ +\ 10.3^2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ 10.42\ m/s.

Let \theta be the angle of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore with the horizontal axis.

Direction of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.\therefore Tan\theta\ =\ \dfrac{v_b}{v_r}\\\Rightarrow Tan\theta\ =\ \dfrac{10.3}{1.60}\\\Rightarrow \theta\ =\ Tan^{-1}\left (\dfrac{10.3}{1.60}\ \right )\\\Rightarrow \theta\ =\ 81.17^o

part (b)

  • Width of the shore = w = 300m

total distance traveled in the north direction by the boat is equal to the product of the velocity of the boat in north direction and total time taken

Let 't' be the total time taken by the boat to cross the width of the river.\therefore w\ =\ v_bt\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ \dfrac{w}{v_b}\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ \dfrac{300}{10.3}\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ 29.12 s

Therefore the total distance traveled in the direction of downstream by the boat is equal to the product of the total time taken and the velocity of the river\therefore s\ =\ u_rt\\\Rightarrow s\ =\ 1.60\times 29.12\\\Rightarrow s\ =\ 46.60\ m

alexdok [17]

Answer:

A tornado can, surprisingly, cause a supercell, so the answer would be C.) tornado

Explanation:

When cold, dry, and polar air meet warm, moist tropical air, the atmosphere becomes unstable causing a supercell.

Final Answer:

C.) tornado
