Compressions
In a longitudinal wave, particles of the medium vibrate in a direction that is parallel to the direction that the wave travels. Places where particles of the medium crowd closer together are called compressions. Places where particles of the medium spread farther apart are called rarefactions.

Answer:

You see things happen much sooner than you hear them.

Explanation:

Light travels about a million times as fast as sound.

When the ball hits the bat , it will take about a million times longer to hear the crack of the bat than to see it.

What you see is almost instantaneous.

There will be a delay until you hear the sound.

How does weathering change rock and minerals

Phantasy [73]

Weathering is the process of breaking large rocks and boulders into much smaller ones. Weathering can be brought about by wind and water mostly. Sometimes even biological forces account for some types of weathering.

What types of reactions are these 3 chemical equations?-

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

*2Kl+Pb(NO3)2=PbI2+2KNO3: double replacement.

*2Al+3CuSO4=Al2(SO4)3+3Cu: single replacement.

*C2H5OH+3O2=2CO2+3H2O: combustion.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the required, it turns out necessary for us to recall the five types of reactions, combination, decomposition, single and double replacement and combustion as shown on the attached figure.

In such a way, since the first reaction follows the pattern AB+CD-->AD+CB we infer it is double replacement; the second reaction follows the patter A+BC-->AC+B and therefore it is single replacement; and the last one follows the pattern of combustion reaction due to the presence of CO2 and H2O on the products side.

Regards!
