Correct answer choice is :


B) They are also called longitudinal waves.


Explanation:


S-waves, secondary waves, or shear waves are a kind of flexible wave also are one of the two principal kinds of elastic body waves, so called because they travel through the body of an object, unlike surface waves. It pushes and pulls the rock it travels through just like sound waves push and pull the air. The second kind of body wave is the S wave or secondary wave, which is the next wave you feel in an earthquake. An S wave is delayed than a P wave and can only move through solid rock, not through any fluid medium.

Study the scenario.
Otrada [13]

If no other forces act on the object, according to Newton’s first law, the spacecraft will continue moving at a constant velocity, assuming that a planet or something with large mass doesn’t cross its path. Forces are not required to continue the motion of an object on a frictionless plane at a constant rate.

Who invented the wedge simple machine and why?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Gene Sarazen began to win tournaments in 1935 with a new club he had invented that was specialized for sand play. He is hailed as the inventor of the sand wedge.

Explanation:

A wedge is a triangular shaped tool, and is a portable inclined plane, and one of the six classical simple machines. It can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place. It functions by converting a force applied to its blunt end into forces perpendicular (normal) to its inclined surfaces. The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the ratio of the length of its slope to its width.[1][2] Although a short wedge with a wide angle may do a job faster, it requires more force than a long wedge with a narrow angle.

The force is applied on a flat, broad surface. This energy is transported to the pointy, sharp end of the wedge, hence the force is transported.

The wedge simply transports energy and collects it to the pointy end, consequently breaking the item. In this way, much pressure is put on a thin area.

A bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes.
zaharov [31]

Given that,

Frequency emitted by the bat, f = 47.6 kHz

The speed off sound in air, v = 413 m/s

We need to find the wavelength detected by the bat. The speed of a wave is given by formula as follows :

v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{413}{47.6\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=0.00867\ m

or

\lambda=8.67\ mm

So, the bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes i.e. 8.67 mm.
