Answer:

Wavelength

Explanation:

The wavelength of a transverse wave (where the oscillation occurs perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave) is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests ot two consecutive troughs.

In a longitudinal wave, where the oscillation occurs parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave, the wavelength is defined as the distance between two consecutive compressions or between two consecutive rarefactions.

Other important definitions for a wave are:

- Frequency: the number of complete cycles per second

- Period: the time needed for one complete cycle to occur

- Amplitude: the distance between the equilibrium position and the maximum displacement of the wave

A 3.00 kg mud ball has a perfectly inelastic collision with a second mud ball that is initially at rest. the composite system mo
viva [34]
Perfectly inelastic collision is type of collision during which two objects collide, stay connected and momentum is conserved. Formula used for conservation of momentum is:

m_{1} * v_{1} +  m_{2} * v_{2} =  m_{1} * v'_{1} +  m_{2} * v'_{2}

In case of perfectly inelastic collision v'1 and v'2 are same.

We have following information:
m₁=3 kg
m₂=? kg
v₁=x m/s
v₂=0 m/s
v'1 = v'2 = 1/3 * v₁

Now we insert given information and solve for m₂:
3*v₁ + 0*? = 3*1/3*v₁ + m₂*1/3*v₁
3v₁ = v₁ + m₂*1/3*v₁
2v₁ = m₂*1/3*v₁
2 = m₂*1/3
m₂= 6kg

Mass of second mud ball is 6kg.
