Ten students stand in a circle and are told to make a transverse wave. what best describes the motion of the students?

For transverse waves the displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. A ripple on a pond and a wave on a string are easily visualized transverse waves. Hope this helps. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.

Answer:

Up and down movement of hands shows the motion of the students.

Explanation:

In this case, Ten students stand in a circle and are told to make a transverse wave. In transverse wave the particles move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion. The maximum displacement of particles creates the crest and the minimum displacement creates the troughs.

In order to describe the motion of of the students, each student has to move his or her hand up and down continuously. The movement in upper direction forms crest and the movement in downward direction forms trough.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

The impact occured at a distance of 2478.585 meters from the person.

Explanation:

(After some research on web, we conclude that problem is not incomplete) The element "Part A" may lead to the false idea that question is incomplete. Correct form is presented below:

A person, with his ear to the ground, sees a huge stone strike the concrete pavement. A moment later two sounds are heard from the impact: one travels in the air and the other in the concrete, and they are 6.4 seconds apart. How far away did the impact occur? (Sound speed in the air: 343 meters per second, sound speed in concrete: 3000 meters per second)

Sound is a manifestation of mechanical waves, which needs a medium to propagate themselves. Depending on the material, sound will take more or less time to travel a given distance. From statement, we know this time difference between air and concrete ( $\Delta t$ ), in seconds:

$\Delta t = t_{A}-t_{C}$ (1)

Where:

$t_{C}$ - Time spent by the sound in concrete, in seconds.

$t_{A}$ - Time spent by the sound in the air, in seconds.

By suposing that sound travels the same distance and at constant speed in both materials, we have the following expression:

$\Delta t = \frac{x}{v_{A}}-\frac{x}{v_{C}}$

$\Delta t = x\cdot \left(\frac{1}{v_{A}}-\frac{1}{v_{C}} \right)$

$x = \frac{\Delta t}{\frac{1}{v_{A}}-\frac{1}{v_{C}} }$ (2)

Where:

$v_{C}$ - Speed of the sound in concrete, in meters per second.

$v_{A}$ - Speed of the sound in the air, in meters per second.

$x$ - Distance traveled by the sound, in meters.

If we know that $\Delta t = 6.4\,s$ , $v_{C} = 3000\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v_{A} = 343\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the distance travelled by the sound is:

$x = \frac{\Delta t}{\frac{1}{v_{A}}-\frac{1}{v_{C}} }$

$x = 2478.585\,m$

The impact occured at a distance of 2478.585 meters from the person.

Describe what happens to chromosomes before mitosis.

Brums [2.3K]

Explanation:

Before mitosis, the chromosomes are copied. They then coil up, and each chromosome looks like a letter X in the nucleus of the cell. The chromosomes now consist of two sister chromatids. Mitosis separates these chromatids, so that each new cell has a copy of every chromosome

What's the difference between electromagnetic waves and electromagnetic spectrum?

White raven [17]

The difference between the two is, well for one

Spectrum: The entire range that the "waves" could be such, as visible light, x-ray's and so on.

Waves: These are different because they aren't telling you or showing the entire spectrum just which they length that they are.

It may confuse you but it makes sense to me (Sorry)

jonny [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

The change in momentum of x has to be the opposite of the change in momentum of Y because the momentum is just transferred from one to another. But I'm still trying to figure it out how to calculate.
