The answer is C in this question.
Answer:
The answer is 904,000.
Kinetic energy=1/2mv^2.
1/2×1130×40^2.
1/2×1808000=904,000Joules.
The particles of the medium (slinky in this case) move up and down (choice #2) in a transverse wave scenario.
This is the defining characteristic of transverse waves, like particles on the surface of water while a wave travels on it, or like particles in a slack rope when someone sends a wave through by giving it a jolt.
The other kind of waves is longitudinal, where the particles of the medium move "left-and-right" along the direction of the wave propagation. In the case of the slinky, this would be achieved by giving a tensioned slinky an "inward" jolt. You would see that such a jolt would give rise to a longitudinal wave traveling along the length of the tensioned slinky. Another example of longitudinal waves are sound waves.
Let v = the running speed
After running at constant speed for 26 min, the distance traveled is
d = (v m/min)*(26 min) = 26v m
Because there are 1500 m to go, the distance traveled is
10000 - 1500 = 8500 m
The running speed is
v = (8500 m)/(26 min) = 326.9 m/min
In km/h, the speed is
v = (0.3269 km/min)*(60 min/h) = 19.6 km/h
Answer: The running speed is 19.6 km/h
