What's the difference between longitudinal and transverse waves?

Firstly, all waves transfer energy without transferring matter (particles). 

Waves usually consist of particles vibrating in a particular direction, but not necessarily in the same direction as the...

What are the different classifications of sub-atomic particles?

Firstly, particles can be split up into to main categories: hadrons and leptons.

Hadrons interact with the strong force and are made of quarks. Leptons don't interact with the strong force and are ...

In one second a mass of 210 kg of air enters at A. The speed of this mass of air increases by 570 m s–1 as it passes through the engine. Calculate the force that the air exerts on the engine.

F = M x A (A= (V-U)/T) F = 210 x 570 F = 119,700 N

An airplane accelerates steadily from rest to 355 m/s, after travelling a distance of 105,000 m. How long, in minutes, does it take the airplane to reach this speed?

The first step is to identify which components of the ‘SUVAT equations of motion’ the question gives us. Here we have the initial (u) and final (v) speeds, the distance (s) and ...
