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.

NEWTONS SECOND LAW LAB REPORT

hram777 [196]

Answer:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass. Acceleration of an object depends on two things, force and mass.

Which of the following is most likely not a case of uniform circular motion

Ivan

Answer:

Motion of a racing car on a circular track

Explanation:

Uniform circular motion means the motion of the object is in a circle with a CONSTANT SPEED.

The racing car will accelerate during its motion. Hence, it is not a uniform circular motion.

If the weight of the ruler is one Newton ,Gc cannot have a value more than 25cm

nevsk [136]

If the length of the ruler is 50 cm, the center of gravity cannot be greater than 25 cm.

The given parameters:

Weight of the ruler = 1 N

<h3>What is center of gravity (CG)?</h3>

Center of gravity is the point at which the weight of an object is concentrated.

Let the length of the ruler = L

The center of the gravity of the ruler is calculated as follows;

$X_{CG} = \frac{W(L_0) + W(L -X_{CG})}{W} \\\\X_{CG} = \frac{1(0) + 1(L -X_{CG})}{1}\\\\X_{CG} = L - X_{CG}\\\\X_{CG } + X_{CG} = L\\\\2X_{CG} = L\\\\X_{CG} = \frac{L}{2} \\\\when , \ L = 50 \ cm\\\\X_{CG} = \frac{50}{2} \\\\X_{CG} = 25 \ cm$

Thus, if the length of the ruler is 50 cm, the center of gravity cannot be greater than 25 cm. This may change if the length of the ruler changes because the center of gravity of uniform ruler depends on the length of the ruler.
