Consider a line of people, like the line you considered earlier, but closely packed, like particles in a solid. What action could cause an involuntary wave pulse go through this line, and what kind of would it start? The answer below should both describe an involuntary wave and describe the type of wave pulse accurately.

A. The person at the front of the line stretches her body to the side. It would start a transverse wave pulse.
B. Somebody runs into the last person in line, and bumps him accidentally. It would start a transverse wave pulse.
C. The person at the front of the line falls backward into the person behind him. It would start a longitudinal wave pulse.
D. The person at the front of the line stretches her arms out while yawning. It would start a longitudinal wave pulse.

The temperature at a point (x, y) is t(x, y), measured in degrees celsius. a bug crawls so that its position after t seconds is given by x = 6 + t , y = 8 + 1 3 t, where x and y are measured in centimeters. the temperature function satisfies tx(3, 9) = 5 and ty(3, 9) = 4. how fast is the temperature rising on the bug's path after 3 seconds? (round your answer to two decimal places.)

On a horizontal frictionless surface, a small block with mass 0.200 kg has a collision with a block of mass 0.400 kg. immediately after the collision, the 0.200 kg block is moving at 12.0 m/s in the direction 30° north of east and the 0.400 kg block is moving at 11.2 m/s in the direction 53.1° south of east. use coordinates where the +x-axis is east and the +y-axis is north.(a) what is the total kinetic energy of the two blocks after the collision (in ) what is the x-component of the total momentum of the two blocks after the collision? (indicate the direction with the sign of your ) what is the y-component of the total momentum of the two blocks after the collision? (indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
