SAME:
- They both transfer energy in waves 
- They both have a frequency and period
- Both are mechanical waves and require a medium

DIFFERENT:
- Transverse waves move in a perpendicular direction
- Longitudinal waves move in a parallel direction

<u>The similarity in the longitudinal and transverse waves is they both transfer energy through the medium and the difference between them is they have different direction of oscillation in the medium. </u>

Further Explanation:

There are two types of waves that propagate through the medium. These two types of the waves are the longitudinal waves and the transverse waves. The both waves are similar to one another in some aspects and are also different to one another.

The similarity between the longitudinal waves and the transverse waves is that they both are the mechanical waves. The both waves carry the energy throughout the medium without the actual movement of the medium particles.

The different between the longitudinal waves and the transverse waves is that the medium particles oscillate in the longitudinal waves in the direction parallel to the propagation of the wave whereas in case of the transverse waves, the medium particles oscillate in the direction perpendicular to the propagation of the wave.

A capacitor is constructed of two large, identical, parallel metal plates separated by a small distance d. A battery fully charg
Alja [10]

The capacitance of a capacitor of a parallel plate is given by:

C=\frac{kA\cdot\epsilon_o}{d}

Where:

\begin{gathered} \epsilon_o=_{\text{ }}Vacuum_{\text{ }}permittivity \\ k=_{\text{ }}Dielectric_{\text{ }}constant=2 \\ A=_{\text{ }}Area_{\text{ }}of_{\text{ }}the_{\text{ }}plates \\ d=_{\text{ }}distance_{\text{ }}betwen_{\text{ }}the_{\text{ }}plates \end{gathered}

We also know:

\begin{gathered} Q=\frac{q}{V} \\ so\colon \\ \frac{q}{V}=\frac{kA\cdot\epsilon_o}{d} \\ V=\frac{qd}{kA\cdot\epsilon_o} \\ if \\ k=2 \\ V=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{qd}{kA\cdot\epsilon_o}) \end{gathered}

As we can see the voltage halves

And since:

\begin{gathered} E=\frac{V}{d} \\ W=qV \end{gathered}

We can conclude that electric field and also the energy halve

A 920 kg cannon fires a 3.5 kg shell at initial acceleration of 95 m/s^2. What is the cannon's recoil force?
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The cannon recoils with a force of 332.5 N

Explanation:

By Newton's third law Recoil force on cannon = Force in shell.

Force in shell = Mass of shell x Acceleration of shell

Mass of shell = 3.5 kg

Acceleration of shell = 95 m/s²

Force in shell = 3.5 x 95 = 332.5 N

Recoil force on cannon = 332.5 N

So, the cannon recoils with a force of 332.5 N
