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

1. Clara stops for 10 minutes to catch up with a friend.
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Clara has speed of 80m/min

Explanation:

Clara was jogging at 600 m in 5 minutes. She stopped suddenly which reduced her velocity and then she waited for 10 minutes so that her friends comes near her. She stopped to catch her friend. During this 10 minutes the velocity of Clara is zero. She started to walk again at a slower speed of 80m/min.

A ball was dropped from a height of 10 feet. Each time it hits the ground, it bounces 4/5 of its previous height. Find the total
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

d = 90 ft

Explanation:

As we know that after each bounce it reaches to 4/5 times of initial height

so we can say

h_2 = \frac{4}{5}h

so the distance covered is given as

d = h + 2(\frac{4}{5}h) + 2(\frac{4}{5})^2h + 2(\frac{4}{5})^3h........

here we know that

h = 10 feet

d = h + 2(\frac{4}{5}h)(1 + \frac{4}{5} + (\frac{4}{5})^2 + ...........)

d = 10 + 2(\frac{4}{5}(10))(\frac{1}{1 - \frac{4}{5}})

d = 90 ft

A decorative plastic film on a copper sphere of 10 mm diameter in an oven at 750C. Upon removal from the oven, the sphere is sub
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

3.26 secs

Explanation:

Diameter of sphere ( D )= 10 mm

T1 = 75°C

P = 1 atm

T∞ = 23°C

T2 = 35°c

Velocity = 10 m/s

<u>Determine how long it will take to cool the sphere to 35°C</u>

<em>Using the properties of copper and air given in the question</em>

Nu = 2 + (Re)^0.8 (Pr)^0.33

hd / k = 2 + ( vd/v )^0.8 (Pr)^0.33

∴ h ≈  2594.7 W/m^2k

Given that :

(T2 - T∞) / ( T1 - T∞ )  = exp [ ( -hA / pv CP ) t ]  

( 35 - 23 ) / ( 75 - 23 ) = exp [  - 2594.7 * 6 * t / 8933 * 387 * 10 * 10^-3 ]

=  ln ( 12/52 ) = -1.466337069  =     - 0.45032919 *  t

∴ t ≈ 3.26 secs        ( -1.466337069 / -0.45032919 )
