Due to the decay of naturally radioactive substances, or even due to the heat made by the movement of the tectonic plates, and formation of gravitational acceleration, the temperature increases.

marysya [2.9K]

Passengers which are facing forward in the direction that train is moving, their bodies will move forward in application of sudden stop of train.

<h3>What is force of inertia?</h3>

Force of inertia is the force which acts in the opposite direction of the force of acceleration acting on the body.

Given infroamtion-

The passengers are facing forward in the direction that the train is moving.

The train comes to a sudden stop.

Lets see what happens step wise-

  • Here, the train in moving in the forward direction and the passengers are also facing forward in the direction that the train is moving.

  • Now the train comes to a sudden stop. By this sudden stop the train stops suddenly but all the object including the passengers is still travelling forward due to the inertia force.

  • Thus all the passenger will tend to move in the direction as they are still travelling.

Hence, passengers which are facing forward in the direction that train is moving, their bodies will move forward in application of sudden stop of train.

You are creating waves in a rope by shaking your hand back and forth. Without changing the distance your hand moves, you begin t
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

<u>Amplitude - remains the same</u>

<u>Frequency - increases</u>

<u>Period - decreases</u>

<u>Velocity - remains the same.</u>

<u />

Explanation:

The amplitude of the wave remains the same since you are not changing the distance your hand moves and the amplitude of the wave depends on how much distance your hand covers while moving.

The frequency of your wave increases since now you are moving your hand more number of times in the same period i.e. your hand is moving faster in one second. So, the frequency of your wave increases.

The period is the time taken by the wave to travel a certain distance. Since your hand is now moving faster, the wave will travel faster and will take less time to cover the same distance hence, we can say that its period will decrease.

The velocity of a wave depends on the medium in which it is travelling. Your wave was previously travelling in air and the new wave is also travelling in the same medium so the velocity of the wave remains unchanged.
