Answer : A sound wave traveling eastward through air causes the air molecules to vibrate east and west

Explanation :

We know that the sound wave is a longitudinal wave. The particles of medium travels in the direction of propagation of the wave. The space where the particles are closely spaced is called compression and the space where the particles are far apart is called rarefaction. Also, the distance between two consecutive compression and rarefaction is called the wavelength.

If the sound wave is travelling in eastward direction, then the air molecules will move in the direction of propagation of wave. They will vibrate either in east or west direction.

So, the correct option is (1) " vibrate east and west ".

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf Gabi \ had \ greater \ displacement}}$

Explanation:

Displacement is the change in the position of an object.

Abigail runs a complete lap around the track, which is 400 meters. Even though she ran 400 meters, she has <u>no displacement.</u> If she starts and ends at the same spot, there is no change in position.

Gabi runs a 50 meter dash in a straight line. Gabi has <u>50 meters of displacement</u>. She runs in a straight line and is 50 meters away from where she began.

While Abigail ran the farther distance, <u>Gabi had the greater displacement.</u>

The gravitational acceleration on Mars is 3.71 m/s2. If the pendulums were set in motion on the red planet, how would that affec

Elanso [62]

On Earth, the period of a pendulum is given by:
$T_{earth}=2\pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g_{earth} }$
where L is the length of the pendulum and $g_{earth}=9.81~m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration on Earth.
Similarly, the period of the same pendulum on Mars will be
$T_{mars}=2\pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g_{mars} }$
where $g_{mars}=3.71~m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration on Mars.
Therefore, if we want to see how does the period of the pendulum on Mars change compared to the one on Earth, we can do the ratio between the two of them:
$\frac{T_{mars}}{T_{earth}}= \sqrt{ \frac{g_{earth}}{g_{mars}} } = \sqrt{ \frac{9.81~m/s^s}{3.71~m/s^2} }=1.63$
Therefore, the period of the pendulum on Mars will be 1.63 times the period on Earth.

A 7500 kg truck traveling at 5.0 m/s east collides with a 1500 kg car moving

julia-pushkina [17]

Since the collision is inelastic, both vehicle will move with a common velocity of 2.5 m/s in south east direction after collision.

<h3>Conservation of Linear Momentum</h3>

It states that, the sum of the momentum before collision is equal to the sum of the momentum after collision.

Given that a 7500 kg truck traveling at 5.0 m/s east collides with a 1500 kg car moving at 20 m/s in a direction 30° south of west. After collision, the two vehicles remain tangled together.

The given parameters are;
