In an earlier physics course you learned about waves (sound waves, waves on the strings of musical instruments, etc.). Describe the main difference between longitudinal waves and transverse waves.(2 pts)Based on what you have learned in the lecture part of the course, which of these two types is an electromagnetic wave(2 pts)

Aplane takes off from an airport and flies to town a, located d1 = 215 km from the airport in the direction 20.0° north of east. the plane then flies to town b, located d2 = 230 km at 30.0° west of north from town a. use graphical methods to determine the distance and direction from town b to the airport. (enter the distance in km and the direction in degrees south of west.)

Engineers find a new metal that is stronger than steel but much lighter. this material is also significantly cheaper than what is currently used for most aircraft, available in large quantities, and easy to manufacture. the engineers are excited because this new material will lower the costs of buying and operating airplanes for companies. what is probably the best step for the engineers to make next?

The first law of thermodynamics is as follows: ∆u=q-w , which means in a system is equal to added, minus done by the system. the units for these variables are in .
