Best Answer: perpendicular to the direction of wave motion

think of you and a friend holding different ends of a rope. you shake your end side to side and the wave travels down to your friend's end. if you pay attention to a given segment of the rope, it moves, but it moves to the right and left while the wave travels forward. in a transverse wave, the constituents of the wave move perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave itself.

a longitudinal wave, on the other hand, is the opposite. the constituents of the wave alternate moving in the same or opposite direction as the wave moves. this one is more like if you and your friend were holding onto a slinky. you give your end a push towards your friend, and you can see the wave move towards the other end.

hope that helps :D

The Coulomb force between two charges q1 and q2 at separation r in the air is 10N. If half of the separation is filled with medi

adoni [48]

Answer:

The value of new coulomb force is 1.43 N.

Explanation:

Given;

Coulomb's force in vacuum (air), $F_v$ = 10 N

dielectric constant, K = 7

The Coulomb's force between two charges separated by a distance r in a vacuum is given as;

$F_v = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

The Coulomb's force between two charges separated by a distance r in a medium with dielectric constant is given as

$F_m = \frac{1}{4\pi K\epsilon_0} \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

Take the ratio of the two forces;

$\frac{F_v}{F_m} = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2} \ \times \ \frac{4\pi K\epsilon_0 r^2}{q_1q_2} = K\\\\\frac{F_v}{F_m} = K\\\\\frac{10}{F_m} = 7\\\\F_m = \frac{10}{7} \\\\F_m = 1.43 \ N$

Therefore, the value of new coulomb force is 1.43 N.
