Properties of a longitudinal wave

1 answer:

8 0

In longitudinal waves, the oscillations are along the same direction as the direction of travel and energy transfer.
Sound waves and waves in a stretched spring are longitudinal waves. P waves (relatively fast moving longitudinal seismic waves that travel through liquids and solids) are also longitudinal waves.
Longitudinal waves show area of compression and rarefaction. In the animation, the areas of compression are where the parts of the spring are close together, while the areas of rarefaction are where they are far apart.

Plants obtain energy from the sun during photosynthesis and pass it along the food chain.

<h3>What is a model?</h3>

A model is a representation of reality. We use models to understand what the real situation of things is like.

Let us recall that plants are the producers in the ecosystem. Energy flow from plants to animals. Plants obtain energy via the reaction 6CO2 + 6H2O --->C6H12O6 + ATP. This energy is passed along the food chain as organisms feed on each other.

Which answer is a scientifically accurate description of velocity?

agasfer [191]

Answer:

B. The motorcyclist traveled southeast along a highway at 55 mph and reached the campsite in less than the two-hour estimated time.

Explanation:

<em>Velocity </em>is the rate at which an object changes position in a specific direction. It has both <em>magnitude and direction.</em>

Travelling <em>southeast</em> at <em>55 mph</em> is a <em>velocity</em>. It gives both speed and direction.

Statements A., B., and C. give the direction but not the speed.
