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

Janet jumps horizontally off a high diving platform with a velocity of 2.63 m/s and lands in the water 1.9 s later. How high is
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The height of the platform is 22.686 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of Janet, u = 2.63 m/s

time of her motion, t = 1.9 s

The height of the platform is given by;

h = ut + ¹/₂gt²

substitute the given values and solve for height "h"

h = (2.63 x 1.9) + ¹/₂(9.8)(1.9)²

h = 4.997 + 17.689

h = 22.686 m

Therefore, the height of the platform is 22.686 m.

List one way to take advantage of creating even more kinetic energy on this particular technologically advanced field
lisabon 2012 [21]

Kinetic energy can be used to develop electric energy which can be used as electricity.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The kinetic energy can be harnessed; much like some hydro power technologies harness water movement. A way to convert this kinetic energy into electric energy is through piezoelectric. By applying a mechanical stress to a piezoelectric crystal or material an electric current will be created and can be harvested.

Kinetic energy is also generated by the human body when it is in motion. Studies have also been done using kinetic energy and then converting it to other types of energy, which is then used to power everything from flashlights to radios and more.

The lowest possible temperature in outer space is 3.13 K. What is the rms speed of hydrogen molecules at this temperature? (The
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

v_{rms} =196.59 m/s

Given:

Temperature, T = 3.13 K

molar mass of molecular hydrogen, m = 2.02 g/mol = 2.02\times 10^{-3}kg/mol

Solution:

To calculate the root mean squarer or rms speed of hydrogen molecule, we use the given formula:

v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3TR}{m}}

where

R = rydberg's constant = 8.314 J/mol-K

Putting the values in the above formula:

v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3\times 3.13\times 8.314}{2.02\times 10^{-3}}}

v_{rms} =196.59 m/s
