Answer:

a. mechanical; require a medium to travel through

Explanation:

Longitudinal, transverse and surface waves are types of mechanical waves. For example, within the longitudinal waves are the sound waves, which needs a medium to propagate like the air. This is why sound does not travel in a vacuum.

And an example of a transverse wave is the waves that form in the water when a rock is thrown (ripples), these waves need a medium (the water) to propagate.

On the other hand, electromagnetic waves such as light waves do not need a medium to propagate, this is why we can see the light of distant stars because their light travels through the vacuum until it reaches us.

So, the answer is:

Transverse, surface, and longitudinal waves are all mechanical waves because they require a medium to travel through .

The eiffel tower is a steel structure whose height increases by 19.5 cm when the temperature changes from −8 to +42 °c. what is

Readme [11.4K]

The coefficient of expansion is 13 * 10^-6 m per meter length.per oK
The temperature difference = 42 - - 8 = 50 oC
delta T = (42 + 273) - (-8 + 273) = 50 oK
delta L = L * 13* 10^6 m/oK
oK = 50 oK delta L = 19.5 cm = 19.5 cm [1m / 100 cm] = 0.195m
So we need to find the length and it is computed by:
0.195= L * 13 * 10^-6 * 50 L = 0.195 / (13*10^-6*50) L = 300 m

A triangular plate with a non-uniform areal density has a mass M=0.500 kg. It is suspended by a pivot at P and can oscillate as

The period of the oscillations.T = 1.2042s

Opposition is the process of any quantity or measure fluctuating repeatedly about its equilibrium value throughout time. This process is referred to as oscillation. Oscillation, a periodic fluctuation of a substance, can also be described as alternating between two values or rotating around a central value.

Typically, the mathematical formula for the moment of inertia is

T = 2 π √(I / mgd)

Therefore, a moment of inertia

I = 9.00×10-3 + md^2 ;

I=9.00*10^{-3}+ 0.5 * 0.3^2

I=0.054

T=2 $\pi \sqrt{0.5*9.8*0.3}$
