Answer:

A. Longitudinal wave

Explanation:

Sound is a mechanical wave and in mechanical wave its a longitudinal wave. It is a longitudinal wave because the particles of the wave move along the direction of propagation of wave instead of being perpendicular to it like in transverse wave. It can also be said that the displacement of the medium is in the direction of propagation if the wave.

Five identical quintuplets leave earth when they reach the age of 21, in the year 2121. Each quintuplet goes on a spaceship jour

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a problem based on time dilation , a theory given by Albert Einstein .

The formula of time dilation is as follows .

t₁ = $\frac{t}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }$

t is time measured on the earth and t₁ is time measured by man on ship .

A ) Given t = 20 years , t₁ = ? v = .4c

$\frac{20}{\sqrt{1-\frac{.16c^2}{c^2} } }$

=1.09 x 20

t₁= 21.82 years

B ) Given t = 5 years , t₁ = ? v = .2c

$\frac{5}{\sqrt{1-\frac{.04c^2}{c^2} } }$

=1.02 x 5

t₁= 5.1 years

C ) Given t = 10 years , t₁ = ? v = .8c

$\frac{10}{\sqrt{1-\frac{.64c^2}{c^2} } }$

=1.67 x 10

t₁= 16.7 years

D ) Given t = 10 years , t₁ = ? v = .4c

$\frac{10}{\sqrt{1-\frac{.16c^2}{c^2} } }$

=1.09 x 10

t₁= 10.9 years

E ) Given t = 20 years , t₁ = ? v = .8c

$\frac{20}{\sqrt{1-\frac{.64c^2}{c^2} } }$

=1.67 x 20

t₁= 33.4 years

Showing results for a 4 olm and 8 ohm resistor are connected in series. The current through the 4 olm resistor is 2 amps. What i

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Let R1= resistance of 4ohms

R2= resistance of 8ohms

Equivalent resistance R will be

R=R1 + R2

=> 4+8=12ohms

The current through the two resistors will be the same since they are connected in series. Notwithstanding, the voltage will drop to appreciate the change.
