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 .

How long would it take for a rock falling 97.2 m/s to reach the ground from 100 meters

mote1985 [20]

Answer;

velocity(v) = 97.2 m/s ,

distance (S) = 100 m

determine time(t) = ?

We know that,

distance (S) = velocity(v) × time(t)

So, time (t) = distance ÷ velocity

= 100 ÷ 97.2

t = 1.02 sec.

I hope this will help you.

An object is 30.0 cm to the left of a convex lens with a focal length of +8.0 cm. Draw a ray diagram of the setup showing the lo

Ostrovityanka [42]

The distance should be 11 cm and the image will be inverted (and smaller)
I used the Lens Equation:
$\frac{1}{obj.}+ \frac{1}{im.} = \frac{1}{f}$
Where:
obj. is the distance of the object
im. is the distance of the image
f is the focal length

What happens to the kinetic energy of a snowball as it rolls across the lawn and gains mass.

LiRa [457]

If the ground is level, then the snowball can never have
any more kinetic energy than it hand when it left your hand.

If more mass sticks to it as it makes its way across the lawn,
then it must slow down, so that its

KE = (1/2) (present mass) (present speed)²

never exceeds the KE you gave it when you tossed it.

And we're not even talking yet about all the energy it loses
by scraping through the snow and mashing down the blades
of grass in its path.
