What is the different between transverse wave and longitudinal wave?

The vibration of the Longitudinal wave is parallel to the wave direction and the vibration is perpendicular to the direction in the transverse wave.

What is the difference between parallel and latitude?

Latitude = Fatitude = AROUND THE WORLD. It doesn't really mean parallel. The equator is a line of latitude. Latitude = Fatitude = AROUND THE WORLD. It doesn't really mean parallel.

What molecule is made up of steps like a ladder?

You are probably thinking of DNA. The base pairs link the two strands together like a series of steps. However, since it is helical, it might be more accurate to compare it to a spiral staircase.


Why is it hot at the Equator all year?

The Equator receives more direct sunlight throughout the year, leading to consistent warm temperatures. The angle of the sun's rays is more perpendicular at the Equator, resulting in greater heating of the land and water. Additionally, the Equator experiences minimal seasonal variation in day length, contributing to the consistent warmth.

Line l is parallel to line m line l is perpendicular to line p what conclusions can be drawn about the relationship between lines m and p?

Lines are parallel if they are perpendicular to the same line. Since the lines m and l are parallel (given), and the line l is perpendicular to the line p (given), then the lines m and p are perpendicular (the conclusion).


If one of two parallel lines is perpendicular to another line is the other of the two lines parallel to the third line?

since one parallel lines is perpendicular to another line, the other parallel line is perpendicular to the line as well. so the two would not be parallel, only the original two.


Why two lines cannot be both parallel and perpendicular?

Since two parallel lines never intersect, they cannot be perpendicular to each other because perpendicular lines intersect and form angles of 90⁰.


Prove that the tangent at a to the circumcircle of triangle abc is parallel to bc where triangle abc is a isosceles triangle?

The circumcircle of a triangle is the circle that passes through the three vertices. Its center is at the circumcenter, which is the point O, at which the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle are concurrent. Since our triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle, the perpendicular line to the base BC of the triangle passes through the vertex A, so that OA (the part of the bisector perpendicular line to BC) is a radius of the circle O. Since the tangent line at A is perpendicular to the radius OA, and the extension of OA is perpendicular to BC, then the given tangent line must be parallel to BC (because two or more lines are parallel if they are perpendicular to the same line).


Why can't a trapezoid have right angle?

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral that has one pair of parallel sides. Since a right angle is formed by two perpendicular lines, it would mean that one of the non-parallel sides would have to be perpendicular to one of the parallel sides, which violates the definition of a trapezoid. Therefore, a trapezoid cannot have a right angle.


Does a trapezoid contain 2 right angles?

Since a trapezoid is a quadrilateral whose bases are parallel and not congruent, then one of its sides can be perpendicular to its bases (as the shortest distance between two parallel lines). Such a trapezoid is called a right trapezoid.


Is -2y 5x plus 4 perpendicular or parallel?

To determine if the lines represented by the equations are perpendicular or parallel, we need to find their slopes. The equation -2y = 5x + 4 can be rewritten in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) as y = -(\frac{5}{2})x - 2. If the slopes of two lines are equal, they are parallel; if the product of their slopes is -1, they are perpendicular. Since we only have the slope of the given line, we cannot determine its relationship to another line without additional information.


Is y equals 3x plus 1 and y equals 3x - 7 perpendicular?

No. they are parallel, since the slopes are both equal in this case 3. To be perpendicular the product of the slopes of both lines is equal to -1 (i.e., m1*m2 = -1).


What polygon always has perpendicular and parallel lines?

square? im not sure square? im not sure Yes, a square, but we're talking "line segments" - so when the two lines meet to form a 90 degree corner, we get the perpendicular and any of the two lines opposite each other (since all the angles in a square are 90 degrees) are parallel.


How many perpendicular lines are there in a parallelogram?

Ah, isn't that a lovely question? In a parallelogram, there are two pairs of opposite sides that are parallel, but none of the sides are perpendicular to each other. Perpendicular lines meet at a right angle, and in a parallelogram, the sides do not meet at right angles, they run parallel in a harmonious way. Just like nature, everything has its place and purpose in a parallelogram.


Should a screen should be placed parallel or perpendicular to the plane of the convex lens?

If you want to catch the image formed by the lens, then the screen will have to be perpendicular to the axis of the lens. That's kind of parallel to the lens ... the lens doesn't actually have any 'plane' since its surfaces are curved.


How many pairs of perpendicular faces does a square based prism have?

A square-based prism, also known as a square prism or rectangular prism, has 4 pairs of perpendicular faces. Each of the four lateral rectangular faces is perpendicular to the two square bases. Additionally, the two square bases are also perpendicular to each of the lateral faces, but they are not counted as a pair since they are parallel to each other. Thus, the total number of distinct pairs of perpendicular faces is 4.
