Answer: False

Explanation :

If the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion, the wave is classified as a longitudinal wave. The statement is false.

The mechanical waves are of two types i.e. longitudinal waves and the transverse waves.

The waves in which the medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave motion is transverse wave.

But in the longitudinal wave, the medium moves in the same direction as that of the direction of motion of the wave.

So, the given statement is false.

A bullet with mass 1.0kg and velocity 180 m/s is brought to rest in 0.02 s by a sandbag.assuming constant acceleration in the sa

Hello
The bullet is moving by uniformly accelerated motion.
The initial velocity is $v_i=180~m/s$ , the final velocity is $v_i=0~m/s$ , and the total time of the motion is $\Delta t=0.02~s$ , so the acceleration is given by
$a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t} = -9000~m/s^2$
where the negative sign means that is a deceleration.
Therefore we can calculate the total distance covered by the bullet in its motion using
$S=v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 = 180~m/s \cdot 0.02~s + \frac{1}{2}(-9000~m/s^2)(0.02~s)^2=1.8~m$
So, the bullet penetrates the sandbag 1.8 meters.
