There are two types of mechanical waves:
longitudinal waves : Their displacement is in a direction perpendicular to the vibrations of the wave forming crests and troughs.
Transverse waves : They have the vibrations in the direction of the wave forming compressions and rarefactions.

To determine the energy equivalent of an object, we use the famous equation of Einstein which is E=mc^2 where m is the mass of the object and c is the speed of light (3x10^8 m/s). We calculate as follows:
E = mc^2
E = 1.83 kg (3x10^8 m/s)^2
E = 1.647x10^17 J
Answer:
2.96 cm
Explanation:
By Hook's law
Force(F) = Spring constant(k) × Extension(d)
F = k × d
Force is the weight of the object, F = W = mg
So we get, mg = kd ⇒ m ∝ d
2.5 ∝ 1.68 --------------(1)
4.4 ∝ d' --------------(2)
From (1) & (2), 4.4/2.5 = d'/1.68
d' = 2.96 cm ⇒ the required extension.
Answer:
Typically found in eukaryotic cells, centrioles are cylindrical (tube-like) structures/organelles composed of microtubules. In the cell, centrioles aid in cell division by facilitating the separation of chromosomes. For this reason, they are located near the nucleus.
