What type of mechanical wave needs a medium?

Physics

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.

A delivery truck leaves a warehouse and travels 2.60 km north. The truck makes a left turn and travels 1.25 km west before makin
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

4.19 km and 107.35 degrees north of east

Explanation:

So in the end, the truck is (2.6 + 1.4 = 4km) north and 1.25 km west from the warehouse. We can use the Pythagorean formula to calculate the magnitude and direction α of the truck displacement from the warehouse:

s = \sqrt{s_n^2 + s_w^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + 1.25^2} = \sqrt{16 + 1.5625} = \sqrt{17.5625} = 4.19 km

tan\alpha = \frac{s_n}{s_w} = \frac{4}{1.25} = 3.2

\alpha = tan^{-1}3.2 = 1.27 rad \approx 72.65 degrees north or west or (180 - 72.65) = 107.35 degrees north of east

blsea [12.9K]

Answer: b

Explanation:

When heat is released by the system i.e. system loses heat. So, we take it as negative -Q

When the work is done on the system then it is considered as negative work on the system i.e. -W  

In this case, the plunger is pulled out, and work is done on the system. So, we take work as negative work -W

Correct option is b

What is polygamy? Explain please:)
Mariulka [41]

I always thought that 'polygamy' refers to the social system in which a man
may have more than one wife, and I thought there's some other word for
where a woman is married to more than one man. 

But when I went to look it up just now to answer your question, (which by the
way you could also have done very easily), I found a definition that says it's a
"state of marriage between many spouses".  That doesn't specify genders, so
I guess it means any marriage that involves more than two people, no matter
how the genders may be represented or distributed within it.

Which part of earths surface has the greatest rotational speed
Anni [7]
Every point on the surface must have the same rotational speed.
Otherwise some places would rotate away from other places.

If the next block of your city rotated faster than the block that you live on,
then you could sit at home, look out the window, and watch your school
rotate past your house.

The map of the continents on the Earth would change constantly.
