Answer:

The waves are longitudinal.

Explanation:

There are two types of waves:

Longitudinal waves : The waves in which the particles of medium vibrates in the same direction a the wave travels. Ex: sound waves  

Transverse waves : The waves in which the particles of medium in the perpendicular direction of the wave propagation. Ex: light waves.

The wave is travelling along the length of the slinky toy. So, the direction of motion of particles is same as the direction of motion of wave.

So, the waves are longitudinal in nature.

Answer:

"Longitudinal wave" is the appropriate answer.

Explanation:

  • Generating waves whenever the form of communication being displaced in a similar direction as well as in the reverse way of the wave's designated points, could be determined as Longitudinal waves.
  • A wave running the length of something like a Slinky stuffed animal, which expands as well as reduces the spacing across spindles, produces a fine image or graphic.

Consider an alcohol and a mercury thermometer that read exactly 0 oC at the ice point and 100 oC at the steam point. The distanc
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

No, both the thermometers will give the different reading.

Explanation:

Given,

  • Both thermometer has same ice point = T_i\ =\ 0^o C
  • Both thermometer has same steam point = T_s\ =\ 100^o C
  • Distance between the ice point and steam point in both the thermometer is same of 100 division,

All the data given in both the thermometers are same, but the material in the thermometer is different due to this the reading at 60^o C will differ in both the thermometer. Because the reading on both the thermometer is depended upon the thermal expansion of the material inside it, but both the materials are different. Due to this the rise of fluid in the thermometer, i,e,. the volume of the fluid material in the thermometer will depend upon the thermal expansion.  Hence both the material alcohol and mercury have the different thermal expansion, therefore the rise of the fluid in the thermometer also differ in both the thermometer.

13) Can two nonzero perpendicular vectors be added together so their sum is zero? Explain.
Neporo4naja [7]

In order for two vectors to add to zero, they must have the same magnitude and point in opposite directions.

Two perpendicular vectors, by definition, make a right angle with each other whereas two vectors pointing in opposite directions form a straight line.

Because of this, two perpendicular vectors with nonzero magnitudes will never add to zero.

A cork floats on the surface of an incompressible liquid in acontainer exposed to atmospheric pressure. The container is thensea
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The cork:

C) floats at the same height

Explanation:

The law of floatation states that an object will float when it displaces its own weight of fluid in which it floats e.g. the weight of the object is equal to the displaced liquid. With this definition it is clear that the cork will float at the same height because the evacuated air has little or no effect on the cork floating on the surface of the incompressible liquid.

(Double points) A mechanic used a wrench 0.6 meters long to loosen rusted lug nuts on a truck wheel. By standing on the end of t
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Torque, \tau=588\ N-m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the wrench, l = 0.6 m

Mass of the wrench, m = 100 kg

We know that the torque applied by mechanic is given by :

\tau=Fl

\tau=mgl

\tau=100\times 9.8\times 0.6

\tau=588\ N-m

So, the torque applied by the mechanic is 588 N-m. Hence, this is the required solution.
