How do you know if a wave is a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?

please help...

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: In a longitudinal wave, the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave .
A transverse wave is a wave in which the motion of the medium is a right angles to the direction of the wave.

Simplified answer:
Longitudinal wave move left and right.( does not goes up and down) Example-sound wave.
Transverse wave move up and down. Example-water wave, light wave

2. A ball tied to a pole by a rope swings in a circular path with a centripetal acceleration of 2.7 m/s. If the ball has atangential speed of 2.0 m/s, what is the diameter of the circular path in which it travels?​

Answers

Answer: The diameter of the circular path is 2.96m

Explanation: centripetal acceleration = tangential speed^2 / radius of the circular path.

Centripetal acceleration = 2.7m/s^2

Tangential speed = 2.0m/s

Radius = 2.0^2 / 2.7 = 4/2.7

= 1.48m

Diameter = radius*2

= 1.48*2 = 2.96m.

What is the minimum value an eccentricity can be?

Answers

The minimum eccentricity would be zero.  

Answer:

A eccentricity of zero would be a circle, because if it's zero you only have one point

Explanation:

Which of the following best describes the behavior of silica rich magmaA. Highly viscous and associated with violent eruptions
B. Highly viscous and associated with quiet volcanic eruptions
C. Stays deep within earth because of low viscosity
D. Cannot flow but is limited to fixed areas of hotspot volcanism

Answers

Answer: Option (A)

Explanation: Silica rich magma are those in which the magma has more than 65 % of silica content. The higher the silica content, the higher is its viscosity i.e viscosity of a magma is directly proportional to the silica content of magma.

This highly viscous magma inside the volcanoes moves sluggishly and mostly gets concentrated in the vents and seals them. With time, when the pressure exerted by the magma is too high, it creates violent eruptions through the vents.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Answer:

A. Highly viscous and associated with violent eruptions

Explanation:

Most silica rich magma have high viscosity and huge amount of trapped gases within them. As they continue to upwell and expand, the gases causes violent eruptions near Volcanoes. Most granitic/rhyolitic magma are silica rich.

What is the force that opposes the movement of an object through water??

Answers

The force that opposes the movement of an object through water is called drag. This is a type of frictional force. This force normally depends on the density and the viscosity of the fluid in question. The liquid which has more density and more viscosity or stickiness will produce a greater amount of drag force on an object than a fluid that is less dense and less viscous in nature.  River water normally has less drag than that of sea water.  


Help. “What is the particles acceleration at t=3.0 s?”

Answers

Answer:

-2 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity:

a = Δv / Δt

In other words, it's the slope of the line on a velocity-time graph.  The line at t=3 also goes through the points (2, 4) and (4, 0).

a = (4 m/s − 0 m/s) / (2 s − 4 s)

a = -2 m/s²
