Answer:

A longitudinal wave is a wave where the displacement of the medium is in the same direction than the propagation of the wave.

This means that as a P wave travels through the Earth, the relative motion between the p wave and the particles is near zero, as the motion of the particles is parallel to the motion of the wave.

An example of this would be the waves generated when you throw a rock in water, you can see how the water particles move along the waves in the water.

irinina [24]

Answer:

The initial velocity of the water from the tank is 5.42 m/s

Explanation:

By applying Bernoulli equation between  point 1 and 2

\dfrac{P_1}{\rho g}+\dfrac{V_1^2}{2g}+Z_1=\dfrac{P_2}{\rho g}+\dfrac{V_2^2}{2g}+Z_2+h_L

At the point 1

P₁=0  ( Gauge pressure)

V₁= 0 m/s

Z₁=3 m

At point 2

P₂=0  ( Gauge pressure)

Z₂= 0 m/s

h_L=1.5\ m

Now by putting the values

\dfrac{P_1}{\rho g}+\dfrac{V_1^2}{2g}+Z_1=\dfrac{P_2}{\rho g}+\dfrac{V_2^2}{2g}+Z_2+h_L

Z_1-h_L=\dfrac{V_2^2}{2g}

3-1.5=\dfrac{V_2^2}{2\times 9.81}

V_2=\sqrt{2\times 1.5\times 9.81}\ m/s

V₂= 5.42 m/s

The initial velocity of the water from the tank is 5.42 m/s

A particle in the first excited state of a one-dimensional infinite potential energy well (with U = 0 inside the well) has an en
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The energy of this particle in the ground state is E₁=1.5 eV.

Explanation:

The energy E_{n} of a particle of mass <em>m</em> in the <em>n</em>th energy state of an infinite square well potential with width <em>L </em>is:

                                                    E_{n}=\frac{n^{2}h^{2}}{8mL^{2}}

In the ground state (n=1). In the first excited state (n=2) we are told the energy is E₂= 6.0 eV. If we replace in the above equation we get that:

                                                    E_{1}=\frac{h^{2}}{8mL^{2}}            

                                                    E_{2}=\frac{h^{2}}{2mL^{2}}

So we can rewrite the energy in the ground state as:

                                                   E_{1}=\frac{1}{4}(\frac{h^{2}}{2mL^{2}})

                                                      E_{1}=\frac{1}{4} E_{2}

                                                   E_{1}=\frac{1}{4} ( 6.0\ eV)

Finally

                                                    E_{1}=1.5\ eV

In the absence of air resistance, at what other angle will a thrown ball go the same distance as one thrown at an angle of 75 de
snow_tiger [21]

As we know that range of the projectile motion is given by

R = \frac{v^2 sin(2\theta)}{g}

here we know that range will be same for two different angles

so here we can say the two angle must be complementary angles

so the two angles must be

\theta, 90 - \theta

so it is given that one of the projection angle is 75 degree

so other angle for same range must be 90 - 75 = 15 degree

so other projection angle must be 15 degree

At an age of 380,000 years, the temperature of the universe had fallen to 3000 K, and electrons could then combine with protons
defon

Answer:

The major transition occurred as a consequence of this change in the universe at this time is that  <em>b)The universe became transparent to light for the first time.</em>

Explanation:

For the first 380,000 years or so, the universe was essentially too hot for light to shine. The heat of creation smashed atoms together with enough force to break them up into a dense plasma, an opaque soup of protons, neutrons and electrons that scattered light like fog. Then 380,000 years after the Big Bang, matter cooled enough for atoms to form during the era of recombination, resulting in a transparent, electrically neutral gas.

This set loose the initial flash of light created during the Big Bang, which is detectable today as cosmic microwave background radiation. However, after this point, the universe was plunged into darkness, since no stars or any other bright objects had formed yet.
