What type of mechanical wave needs a medium?

Compressional!

Waves traveling through a solid medium can be either transverse waves or longitudinal waves. Yet waves traveling through the bulk of a fluid (such as a liquid or a gas) are always longitudinal waves. Transverse waves require a relatively rigid medium in order to transmit their energy.

Longitudinal ~ Compressional

Hope this helps!
Have a great day.

Earth's gravitational field is strongest at _______.

Serga [27]

Earth's gravity is stronger at the poles than the equator for two reasons: The centrifugal "force" cancels out the gravity minimally, more so at the equator than at the poles.

The resistance created by waves on a 120-m-long ship is tested in a channel using a model that is 4 m long Y Part A If the ship

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

$V_m = 12.78 km/hr$

Explanation:

given,

length of the ship = 120 m

length of model of the ship = 4 m

Speed at which the ship travels = 70 km/h

speed of model = ?

by using froude's law

$F_r = \dfrac{V}{\sqrt{L g}}$

for dynamic similarities

$(\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{L g}})_P = (\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{L g}})_{model}$

$(\dfrac{V_p}{\sqrt{L_p}}) = (\dfrac{V_m}{\sqrt{L_m}})$

$(\dfrac{70}{\sqrt{120}}) = (\dfrac{V_m}{\sqrt{4}})$

$V_m = 12.78 km/hr$

hence, the velocity of model will be 12.78 km/h
