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.

A commonly used unit of mass in the English system is the pound-mass, abbreviated lbm, where 1 lbm = 0.454 kg. What is the densi
Gemiola [76]

Answer: The density of glycerine will be 0.028lbm/foot^3

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}

Given:

Density of glycerine= 1.26\times 10^3kg/m^3

1 lbm = 0.454 kg

1 kg =\frac{1}{0.454}=2.2lbm

Thus 0.454kg=\frac{2.2}{1}\times 0.454=0.99

Also 1m^3=35.3147foot^3

Putting in the values we get:

Density=\frac{0.99lbm}{35.3147}=0.028lbm/foot^3

Thus density of glycerine will be 0.028lbm/foot^3

Please guys i need help in this
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

10 seconds

Explanation:

We have the equation V = at  (speed = acceleration x time)

We want to find the time, so can rearrange to T = V/a (time = speed / acceleration).

From the question, we know V is 5 and a is 0.5.

Now we can substitute that into our equation: 5/0.5 = 10.

So the time is 10 seconds.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)

An electric motor does 900j of work for 8 hours. Calculate the power used​
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

0.031 W

Explanation:

The power used is equal to the rate of work done:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

P is the power

W is the work done

t is the time taken to do the work W

In this problem, we have:

W = 900 J is the work done by the motor

t = 8 h is the time taken

We have to convert the time into SI units; keeping in mind that

1 hour = 3600 s

We have

t=8\cdot 3600 =28,800 s

And therefore, the power used is

W=\frac{900}{28800}=0.031 W

A scientist observes rock masses that have moved past each other in opposite horizontal directions. Which feature
Reil [10]

Answer:

C. strike-slip fault

Explanation:

The scientist must have observed a strike- slip fault.

A fault is an evidence of brittle deformation of the crust in the presence of applied stress on earth materials. Here, the earth material is the rock subjected to tension.

Where a fault occurs, there must have been movement between two blocks of rocks. The direction of movement helps us to delineate the fault type.

  • When two blocks moves past each other horizontally, it is a strike-slip fault like rubbing your palms together.
  • When a block moves in the direction of the dip, it forms a dip-slip fault which results in a fault-block mountain characterized by graben and horst systems.

Option A, Plateau is a table landform usually a mountain with flat peak.

Option B is a bowl shaped stratigraphic pattern in which the youngest sequence is at the core of the strata or a fold.

So, the most fitting option is C, a strike-slip fault.
