1. a. longitudinal waves.
There are two types of waves:
- Transverse waves: in transverse waves, the oscillations of the wave occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave
- Longitudinal waves: in longitudinal waves, the oscillations of the waves occur parallel to the direction in which the waves are travelling.
So, these types of waves are called longitudinal waves.
2. d. a medium
There are two types of waves:
- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field, and they can travel both in a medium and also in a vacuum (they do not need a medium to propagate)
- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, so they need a medium to propagate - therefore, the correct choice is d. a medium
3. a. AM/FM radio
Analogue signals consist of continuous signals, which vary in a continuous range of values. On the contrary, digital signals consist of discrete signals, which can assume only some discrete values. For AM and FM radios, signals are transmitted by using analogue signals.
Answer:
A) Its density will decrease
Explanation:
When an object is heated, its volume increases. This is due to the fact that the particles in the medium vibrate more (if it is a solid) or they move more (if it is a liquid or a gas), therefore they tend to occupy a larger space.
At the same time, the mass of the object does not change, because the mass just represents the amount of matter contained in the object, so it does not increase/decrease at different temperatures.
The density of an object is defined as the ratio between the mass (m) and the volume (V):
We said that the mass remains unchanged while the volume increases: since the density is inversely proportional to the volume, this means that the density decreases.
We have to choose the correct name for the zone along the southern margins of the Sahara. Laterite is a soil in hot and wet tropical areas. Savanna is the tropical grassland. It has tropical savanna climate. Veldt is name for the areas in the South Africa. Finally, the Sahel is the zone along the south margins of the Sahara. It has a semi-arid climate. The Arabic word "sahel" means "coast". Answer: C. Sahel. <span> </span>
The lens changes the focal distance of the eye so that you can focus on images/objects.
Answer/Explanation: Speed and direction can change with time. When you throw a ball into the air, it leaves your hand at a certain speed. As the ball rises, it slows down. Then, as the ball falls back toward the ground, it speeds up again. When the ball hits the ground, its direction of motion changes and it bounces back up into the air.
