Answer: perpendicular to it oscillations.

Explanation: A transverse wave is a wave whose oscillations is perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

By perpendicular, we mean that the wave is oscillating on the vertical axis (y) of a Cartesian plane and the vibration is along the horizontal axis (x) of the plane.

Examples of transverse waves includes wave in a string, water wave and light.

Let us take a wave in a string for example, you tie one end of a string to a fixed point and the other end is free with you holding it.

If you move the rope vertically ( that's up and down) you will notice a kind of wave traveling away from you ( horizontally) to the fixed point.

Since the oscillations is perpendicular to the direction of wave, it is a transverse wave

1. The students can draw all the plants that they know.

2. Children can be asked to bring the flowers to school so that they can identify the plants themselves.

3. The children can plat the flowers in makeshift pots and then take the best plants and transplant them in the garden or elsewhere.

4. The children can take occasional trips and observe and record any changes to the plants.

4. The teacher can ask the students to draw the flowers and emphasize on the productive parts like the stamens, leaves, pistils, stems.

Assuming a Chevy Cruze may be operated indefinitely at 30 m/s with no stops for provisions,

kramer

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. In which the speed is defined as the distance traveled in a certain period of time. In turn we must emphasize that 1 light year is equivalent to $9.461*10^{15}m$ . Mathematically the speed is described as,

$v = \frac{x}{t} \rightarrow t = \frac{x}{v}$

Replacing,

$t = \frac{9.461*10^{15}}{30}$

$t = 3.15366*10^{14}s (\frac{1 year}{3.154*10^7})$

$t \approx 10,000,000 years$

Therefore the correct answer is D.
