Explanation:
A) The distance between the two successive compressions (or rarefactions) is actually called the wavelength of the longitudinal waves.
B) Wavelengths of longitudinal and transverse waves are comparable in the fact that in a transverse wave, the particles move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels whereas in a longitudinal wave the particles are displaced along the direction to the direction the wave travels
Answer:
230 m/s northeast, 1.8 m/s up
Explanation:
204 kilometres = 204000 metres
15.0 minutes = 900 seconds
Velocity = Distance / Time
= 204000 / 900
= 230 m/s northeast (to 2 sf.)
1.6km = 1600 metres
Velocity = 1600 / 900
= 1.8 m/s up (to 2 sf.)

Refer to the diagram shown below.
When an athlete is in motion, he/she exerts a vertical force (the person's weight, W) on the ground. The ground exerts an equal and opposite force, N, the normal reaction on the athlete, so that W = N.
At the same time, the ground exerts a horizontal force, F, o n the athlete so that he/she does not slip.
The magnitude of the horizontal force is
F = μN = μW
where μ = the dynamic coefficient of friction.
Answer:
The horizontal force is μW,
where
W = the weight of the athlete and,
μ = the dynamic coefficient of friction.
