Both are mechanical waves (they must have a substance to travel through)

Answer:

E. Both are mechanical waves

Explanation:

The correct answer is E. Both are mechanical waves

As we know that sounds waves are longitudinal waves in which medium particles will oscillates parallel to the wave propagation.

While in ocean the waves are of both nature i.e. transverse and longitudinal both. Here the energy is transferred to all molecules inside the water by transverse nature of wave while in the case of surface the energy is transferred by longitudinal waves.

So here we can say that common thing between them is that both type of waves required medium particles to propagate energy through the medium.So all those waves which required medium particles to propagate energy then it is known as mechanical waves

So here correct answer will be

Answer:

The same

Explanation:

The change in momentum of each cart is equal to the impulse given by the force applied on the cart:

$\Delta p = I = F \Delta t$

where

F is the force applied

$\Delta t$ is the time during which the force is applied

The force applied to both carts (F) is the same, as well as the time ( $\Delta t$ ). This means that the change in momentum, $\Delta p$ , is the same for both carts. But both carts start from rest (momentum = 0): this means that at the end, both carts will have exactly same momentum.
