False

Explanation:

Sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves.

Mechanical waves are waves that requires a medium to propagate them.

A transverse wave is a wave that is propagated perpendicularly to its source.
An example is electromagnetic radiation.
A longitudinal wave is a wave that is directed parallel to their source.
Sound wave is a longitudinal wave.
It has series of rarefaction and compression along its travel path.
Rarefaction are areas of sparse particles.
Compression are areas with dense particles.

Plastics are synthetic, organic polymers. how are plastics similar and different to polysaccharides

yawa3891 [41]

Plastics and polysaccharides are somewhat similar because they are both polymers. Polymers are a long chain of repeating units called monomers. Their difference, however, is the identity of their monomers. Plastics have hydrocarbons as monomers. Plastics with the monomer ethene is called polyethylene. For polysaccharides, their monomers are simple sugars.

Write 0.00000009345 in Engineering Notation with 3 significant figures

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

$93.43\times 10^{-9}$

Explanation:

Scientific notation is the way of writing numbers which are either large or small. The number is written in the scientific notation when the number is between 1 and 10 and then multiplied by the power of 10. Engineering notation is the same version of the scientific notation but the number can be between 1 and 1000 and in this exponent of the ten is divisible by three.

For example, $1000^2$ is to be written as $10^6$ in engineering notation.

The given number:

0.00000009345 can be written as $93.425\times 10^{-9}$

Answer upto 4 significant digits = $93.43\times 10^{-9}$
