As a wave travels through a medium, it displaces the particle perpendicular to the motion of the wave. we can conclude that this is a a. longitudinal wave because of the direction that the wave travels. b. transverse wave because of the direction in which the particles are displaced. c. longitudinal wave because the wave is traveling through a medium displacing particles. d. transverse because of the direction that the wave is traveling.

In a voltaic cell, electrons flow from the (positive/negative) to the (positive/negative) terminal.

Two polarizers are oriented at 40∘ to each other and plane-polarized light is incident on them. if only 16 percent of the light gets through both of them, what was the initial polarization direction of the incident light?

Boxing gloves are padded to lessen the force of a blow. (a) calculate the force exerted by a boxing glove on an opponent’s face, if the glove and face compress 7.50 cm during a blow in which the 7.00-kg arm and glove are brought to rest from an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. (b) calculate the force exerted by an identical blow in the gory old days when no gloves were used and the knuckles and face would compress only 2.00 cm. (c) discuss the magnitude of the force with glove on. does it seem high enough to cause damage even though it is lower than the force with no glove?
