Which of the following is not a characteristic of a sound wave?

a) it is longitudinal
b) it transfers energy by moving the medium perpedicular to the motion of the wave
c) it transfers energy by moving the medium parallel to the motion of the wave
d) it is a mechanical wave

Suppose while hauling rocks, you accidentally drop one. it breaks apart in flat, planar sections. what type of rock did you just drop? 20 points

(a) assume the equation x = at^3 + bt describes the motion of a particular object, with x having the dimension of length and t having the dimension of time. determine the dimensions of the constants a and b. (use the following as necessary: l and t, where l is the unit of length and t is the unit of time.) (b) determine the dimensions of the derivative dx/dt = 3at^2 + b. (use the following as necessary: l and t, where l is the unit of length and t is the unit of time.)

The magnitude of the poynting vector of a planar electromagnetic wave has an average value of 0.939 w/m^2 . the wave is incident upon a rectangular area, 1.5 m by 2.0 m, at right angles. how much total electromagnetic energy falls on the area during 1.0 minute?
