Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract
Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.
Answer:
V = 3.54 m/s
Explanation:
Using the conservation of energy:

so:

where w is te weigh of kelly, h the distance that kelly decends, m is the mass of kelly and V the velocity in the lowest position.
So, the mass of kelly is:
m = 425N/9.8 = 43.36 Kg
and h is:
h = 1m-0.36m =0.64m
then, replacing values, we get:

Solving for v:
V = 3.54 m/s
Resultant is 5 m/s using the Pythagorean theorem<span />
Answer:
16.2 days
Explanation:
Find the number of halflives:
1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 so <u>two</u> halflives have passed
2 * 8.1 days = 16.2 days
