If the vibrations of the particles of the medium conveying a wave are to and fro and parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave, then the wave is called a longitudinal wave.

Transverse wave: If the vibrations of the particles of the medium conveying a wave are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave, the wave is called a transverse

<span>A transverse wave is one for which the direction of oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave whereas, for longitudinalwaves oscillations are in the direction of propagation. Ripples in pond water move about the surface of water and they simultaneously move away from the point-0 too.</span><span>
Longitudinal waves include sound waves(vibrations in pressure, particle of displacement, and particle velocity propagated in an elastic medium) and seismic P-waves (created by earthquakes and explosions). In longitudinal waves, the displacement of the medium is parallel to the propagation of thewave.

Which statement best describes perigee?
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

A. The closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth

Explanation:

The perigee is defined as the closest point in the orbit of an object (such as a satellite) from the centre of the Earth. In this case, the Earth's satellite is the Moon, so the perigee is defined as the closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth. so option A is the correct one.

Let's see instead the names of the other options:

B. The farthest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth  --> this point is called apogee

C. The closest point in Earth's orbit of the Sun  --> this point is called perihelion

D. The Sun's orbit that is closest to the Moon --> this point has no specific name

A test tube of length L and cross-sectional area A is submerged in water with the open end down so that the edge of the tube is
Margaret [11]

Answer:

if we measure the change in height of the gas within the had and obtain a straight line in relation to the depth we can conclude that the air complies with Boye's law.

Explanation:

The air in the tube can be considered an ideal gas,

           P V = nR T

In that case we have the tube in the air where the pressure is P1 = P_atm, then we introduce the tube to the water to a depth H

For pressure the open end of the tube is

         P₂ = P_atm + ρ g H

Let's write the gas equation for the colon

            P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂

            P_atm V₁ = (P_atm + ρ g H) V₂

             V₂ = V₁    P_atm / (P_atm + ρ g h)

If the air obeys Boyle's law e; volume within the had must decrease due to the increase in pressure, if we measure the change in height of the gas within the had and obtain a straight line in relation to the depth we can conclude that the air complies with Boye's law.

The main assumption is that the temperature during the experiment does not change

What do you need to calculate the mechanical advantage of a block and tackle
Ira Lisetskai [31]
In a block and tackle, some friction in the pulleys will reduce the mechanical advantage of the machine. To include friction in a calculation of the mechanical advantage of a block and tackle, divide the weight of the object being lifted by the weight necessary to lift it.

Hope this helps
