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.

A 6000 kg lorry is reversing into a parking space at a speed of 0.5 m/s but collides with a car. The crumple zone of the car sto
zysi [14]

Answer:

3000 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Momentum, p is a product of mass and velocity hence

p=mv where m is mass and v is velocity.

Change in momentum is given by m(v_f-v_i) where subscripts f and i represent final and initial respectively. Since the lorry finally comes to rest then the final velocity is zero. Substituting the given figures then

Change in momentum= 6000(0-0.5)=-3000 kg.m/s

The eyes of many older people have lost the ability to accommodate, and so an older person’s near point may be more than 25 cm f
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Smaller refractive power

Explanation:

The refractive power of an eye is the extent to which it can converge or diverge the light rays.

Near point is the the closest point for an eye such that when an object is placed at that point the image it forms is sharp and clearly visible to the eye.

A the person ages, the ciliary muscles of the eyes weakens and as a result the lens contracts and the formation of the image takes place behind the retina instead of forming at the retina.

Thus the near point also increases and the refractive power becomes smaller.

Two people are talking at a distance of 3.0 m from where you are and you measure the sound intensity as 1.1 × 10-7 W/m2. Another
ioda

Answer:

6.1875\times 10^{-8}

Explanation:

Assuming uniform spread of sound with no significant reflections or absorption. We know that sound intensity varies I=\frac {k}{r^{2}} where r is the distance

Since intensity is given then when at 3 m

1.1\times 10^{-7}= \frac {k}{3^{2}}

k=3^{2}\times 1.1\times 10^{-7}= 9.9\times 10^{-7}

Since we have the constant then at 4m

Intensity, I= \frac {9.9\times 10^{-7}}{4^{2}}=6.1875\times 10^{-8}

Deep-sea divers often breathe a mixture of helium and oxygen to avoid getting the "bends" from breathing high-pressure nitrogen.
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

0.69444 m, 0.08152 m, 0.32407 m, 0.03804 m

Explanation:

v = Velocity of sound

f = Frequency

Length of vocal tract is given by

L=\dfrac{v}{4f}

At f = 270 Hz v = 750 m/s

L=\dfrac{750}{4\times 270}\\\Rightarrow L=0.69444\ m

At f = 2300 Hz v = 750 m/s

L=\dfrac{750}{4\times 2300}\\\Rightarrow L=0.08152\ m

At f = 270 Hz v = 350 m/s

L=\dfrac{350}{4\times 270}\\\Rightarrow L=0.32407\ m

At f = 2300 Hz v = 350 m/s

L=\dfrac{350}{4\times 2300}\\\Rightarrow L=0.03804\ m
