Transverse Waves: Displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

To understand this it is good to think of a rope being held still by person B and being moved up and down by person A. The direction of propagation is from person A to B, so you will see the waves move along this way. But the displacement will be up and down.

Can travel in solids, but not in liquids and gas.

eg. Electromagnetic radiation

Longitudinal Waves: Displacement of the medium is parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.

A good example for this is a slinky being pushed along the table, the propagation will be along the table and so will the displacement of all the 'rings'.

Can travel through all states of matter.

eg. Sound waves

It takes 6 sec for a stone to fall the the bottom of a mineshaft. calculate the
Stels [109]
Ok so this is simple projectile motion problem.

if we have an object falling in free fall it is subject to gravity of -9.80m/s^2

so it says it takes 6 sec to fall and we know initial velocity was zero so we know that h=vt+1/2gt^2 so we get h=0+1/2*9.80*6^2 = 176.4m 

so solving for final speed we get KE=PE = 1/2mv^2=mgh = 1/2v^2=gh so 
v=sqrt(2*g*h) = sqrt(2*9.8*176.4m) = 58.8m/s final speed when it hits the ground


hope this helps you! Thanks!!

A 12kg cheetah accelerates 24 m/s". What is the force the cheetah needed to run?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

288N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Cheetah = 12kg

Acceleration  = 24m/s²

Unknown:

Force needed by the cheetah to run  = ?

Solution:

The force needed by the Cheetah to run is the net force.

According to Newton's law;

    Force  = mass x acceleration

Insert the given parameters and solve;

   Force  = 12 x 24  = 288N

For this case we have that by definition, the kinetic energy is given by the following formula:

k= \frac {1} {2} * m * v ^ 2

Where:

m: It is the mass

v: It is the velocity

According to the data we have to:

m = 100 \ kg\\v = 9 \frac {m} {s}

Substituting the values we have:

k = \frac {1} {2} * (100) * (9) ^ 2\\k = \frac {1} {2} * (100) * 81\\k = 50 * 81\\k = 4050

finally, the kinetic energy is 4050 \ J
