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.

Answer:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force is 120.85 N

Explanation:

We can use Coulomb's law to find the electrostatic force between the down quarks.

In scalar form, Coulomb's law states that for charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ separated by a distance d, the magnitude of the electrostatic force F between them is:

$F = k \frac{|q_1q_2|}{d^2}$

where $k$ is Coulomb's constant.

Taking the values:

$d = 4.6 \ 10^{-15} m$

$q_1 = q_2 = - \frac{e}{3} = - \frac{1.6 \ 10^{-19} \ C}{3}$

and knowing the value of the Coulomb's constant:

$k = 8.99 \ 10 ^{9} \frac{N m^2}{C^2}$

Taking all this in consideration:

$F = 8.99 \ 10 ^{9} \frac{N m^2}{C^2} \frac{ (- \frac{1.6 \ 10^{-19} \ C}{3} ) ^2}{(4.6 \ 10^{-15} m)^2}$

$F = 120.85 \ N$

A mixture of helium and oxygen is used in scuba diving tanks to help prevent ""the bends"". 46 L helium and 12 L oxygen are comb

marin [14]

Answer

given,

For helium

Volume,V = 46 L

Pressure,P = 1 atm

Temperature,T = 25°C = 273 +25 = 298 K

R=0.0821 L . atm /mole.K

n₁ = ?

number of moles

we know

P V = n R T

$n_1 =\dfrac{46 \times 1}{0.0821\times 298}$

n₁ = 1.89 moles

For oxygen

Volume,V = 12 L

Pressure,P = 1 atm

Temperature,T = 25°C = 273 +25 = 298 K

R=0.0821 L . atm /mole.K

n₂ = ?

number of moles

we know

P V = n R T

$n_2 =\dfrac{12 \times 1}{0.0821\times 298}$

n₂ = 0.49 moles

Total volume of tank = 5 L

temperature of tank = 298 K

Partial pressure of helium

$P_1=\dfrac{n_1 R T}{V}$

$P_1=\dfrac{1.89\times 0.0821\times 298}{5}$

P₁ = 9.25 atm

Partial pressure of oxygen

$P_2=\dfrac{n_2 R T}{V}$

$P_2=\dfrac{0.49\times 0.0821\times 298}{5}$

P₂ = 2.39 atm

total pressure

P = P₁ + P₂

P = 9.25 + 2.39

P = 11.64 atm

A car travelling 95 km/h is 210 behind a truck travelling 75 km/h. how long will it take the care to reach the truck

masya89 [10]

37.8 seconds First, determine the speed difference between the car and truck. 95 km/h - 75 km/h = 20 km/h Convert that speed into m/s to make a more convenient unit of measure. 20 km/h * 1000 m/km / 3600 s/h = 5.556 m/s Now it's simply a matter of dividing the distance between the two vehicles and their relative speed. 210 m / 5.556 m/s = 37.8 s So it will take 37.8 seconds for the car to catch the truck that's 210 meters in front of the car.
