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.
Answer:
scientists will use absolute dating to find how old a fossil exactly is.
Answer:
ΔR = 9 s
Explanation:
To calculate the propagation of the uncertainty or absolute error, the variation with each parameter must be calculated and the but of the cases must be found, which is done by taking the absolute value
The given expression is R = 2A / B
the uncertainty is ΔR = | 
| ΔA + | 
| ΔB
we look for the derivatives
= 9 / B
= 9A ( 
)
we substitute
ΔR = 
ΔA + 
ΔB
the values are
ΔA = 2 s
ΔB = 3 s
ΔR = 
2 + 
3
ΔR = 1.636 + 7.14
ΔR = 8,776 s
the absolute error must be given with a significant figure
ΔR = 9 s
Answer:
0.610m/s^2
Explanation:
Acceleration is defined as the ΔV/ΔT. In this case, the change in velocity is 1.43-0.32=1.11 m/s. The change in time is 1.82 seconds. Plugging in what we know, it will result in an acceleration of 0.610 m/s^2.
Answer:
Explanation:
Superposition of a crest and a trough produces destructive interference.
