Which type of mechanical wave moves back and forth?

transverse wave

longitudinal wave

Africtionless piston-cylinder contains 50 l of saturated liquid r-134a. the piston has a mass and an area resulting in an applied pressure of 500 kpa on the refrigerant. the refrigerant is now heated until its temperature rises to 70∘c. calculate the work (in kj) done during this process.

Amass m = 74 kg slides on a frictionless track that has a drop, followed by a loop-the-loop with radius r = 18.4 m and finally a flat straight section at the same height as the center of the loop (18.4 m off the ground). since the mass would not make it around the loop if released from the height of the top of the loop (do you know why? ) it must be released above the top of the loop-the-loop height. (assume the mass never leaves the smooth track at any point on its path.) 1. what is the minimum speed the block must have at the top of the loop to make it around the loop-the-loop without leaving the track? 2. what height above the ground must the mass begin to make it around the loop-the-loop? 3. if the mass has just enough speed to make it around the loop without leaving the track, what will its speed be at the bottom of the loop? 4. if the mass has just enough speed to make it around the loop without leaving the track, what is its speed at the final flat level (18.4 m off the ground)? 5. now a spring with spring constant k = 15600 n/m is used on the final flat surface to stop the mass. how far does the spring compress?

A10-kg piece of aluminum sits at the bottom of a lake, right next to a 10-kg piece of lead, which is much denser than aluminum. which one has the greater buoyant force on it? explain. b - the aluminum a) both have the same buoyant force. b) the aluminum c) the lead d) it cannot be determined without knowing their volumes.
