Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract

Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.

2. A person applies a force of 66 N to a fridge as they push it across the length of a standard tennis court. So far today, the

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

$P=39.2205\, watt$

$E=374.948 \,cal$

Explanation:

Given that:

force applied, $F=66\,N$

displacement, $s=23.77\,m$ (length of a tennis court)

time taken for pushing, t = 40 s

Since, work is given by:

$W=F.s$

$W=66\times 23.77$

$W=1568.82\,J$

Now, power is given as:

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

$P=\frac{1568.82}{40}$

$P=39.2205 \,watt$

Calories consumed is:

$E= 1568.82\times 0.239$

$E=374.948\, cal$

A proton in a high-energy accelerator is given a kinetic energy of 50.0 GeV. Determine (a) the momentum and (b) the speed of the

koban [17]

(a) The momentum of the proton is determined as 5.17 x 10⁻¹⁸ kgm/s.

(b) The speed of the proton is determined as 3.1 x 10⁹ m/s.

<h3>Momentum of the proton</h3>

The momentum of the proton is calculated as follows;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

m is mass of proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
v is speed of the proton = ?

<h3>Speed of the proton</h3>

v² = 2K.E/m

v² = (2 x 50 x 10⁹ x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)/(1.67 x 10⁻²⁷)

v² = 9.6 x 10¹⁸

v = 3.1 x 10⁹ m/s

<h3>Momentum of the proton</h3>

P = mv = (1.67 x10⁻²⁷ x 3.1 x 10⁹) = 5.17 x 10⁻¹⁸ kgm/s
