Particle motion in surface waves is __________ motion.

2 answers:

5 0

Surface wave is defined as the type of wave that is capable of moving at the interface between two different types of mediums/materials (example is surface wave that is between the water and air).
Particles in the surface wave usually move in orbital or elliptical shapes and their motion is a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motions.

Based on the above, the correct choice is:
A) a combination of longitudinal and transverse

The particle motion in a surface a wave is a combination of longitudinal and transverse motion.

Further Explanation:

The waves produced due to the vibration of the medium particles are categorized as transverse wave and longitudinal waves.

The transverse waves are originated when the medium particles oscillate in the direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

Example: The electromagnetic waves, vibrations produced in a guitar string etc.

The longitudinal waves are formed by the particle which is oscillating in the direction along the propagation of the wave.

Example: Sound waves, seismic waves etc.

The waves that are produced on the surface are the combination of the and the longitudinal waves because as the particle oscillates during the propagation of wave on the surface, the wave particles vibrates in the direction perpendicular to the surface as well as along direction in which the wave is travelling.

Thus, the particle motion in surface waves is a combination of longitudinal and transverse motion.

Which of the following is not a dwarf planet?

Fantom [35]

The correct answer is (a.) Hydra. Hydra is not a dwarf planet, instead, it is the moon of the dwarf planet, Pluto. There are only four accepted dwarf planets by the International Astronomical Union which were the Haumea, Pluto, Eris, and Makemake.

What two factors will make an object stable

galben [10]

The position of the centre of gravity of an object affects its stability. The lower the centre of gravity (G) is, the more stable the object. The higher it is the more likely the object is to topple over if it is pushed. Racing cars have really low centres of gravity so that they can corner rapidly without turning over.

Increasing the area of the base will also increase the stability of an object, the bigger the area the more stable the object. Rugby players will stand with their feet well apart if they are standing and expect to be tackled.
