Question

the type of wave that maya creates in each rope is called a transverse wave. a transverse wave travels in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction the particles of the medium move. in other words, the waves travel horizontally from maya’s arms along the length of the ropes, while the particles of matter in the ropes move vertically. complete the sentences. the transverse wave that maya creates in a rope travels and the particles of matter in the rope move . this means that the wave and the particles of matter move in directions.

Explanation:

1. From the text: "the waves travel horizontally from Maya’s arms along the length of the ropes" → first blank: horizontally.
2. From the text: "the particles of matter in the ropes move vertically" → second blank: vertically.
3. Since horizontal and vertical are perpendicular (opposite in the sense of direction relation here, as perpendicular directions), the third blank: perpendicular (or opposite, but "perpendicular" is more accurate from the definition: "travels in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction the particles of the medium move").

Answer:

The transverse wave that Maya creates in a rope travels horizontally and the particles of matter in the rope move vertically. This means that the wave and the particles of matter move in perpendicular directions.
