surface wave is a wave that travels along the surface of a medium. The medium is the matter through which the wave travels. Ocean waves are the best-known examples of surface waves. They travel on the surface of the water between the ocean and the air.

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

What is the resulting direction of a surface wave

A: Opposite  

B: Circular

C: Parallel  

D: Perpendicular

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. Circular.

Explanation:

This question can sometimes be confusing. The fact is that the surface waves go perpendicular and parallel as well, which results in their direction becoming CIRCULAR.

These types of waves usually appear when an earthquake occurs near the Earth's surface, and they move on this surface.

One of the types of surface waves is ocean waves. These waves move in a circular way.

To see how their movement is, you can search an internet search engine for a gif of “surface waves” and you can better understand this explanation.

kodGreya [7K]
<span>the gravational potential energy of anything on the ground is zero. When calculating potential energy you take height in meters and multiply it by the mass of the object in kilograms and the acceleration of gravity to get a new unit called Joules. Any object at ground level has a potential energy of zero newtons becuase anything multiplied by zero is zero. An object with mass of 54 kg, 4 meters above the ground has a gravitatinal potential energy of 2116.8 Joules.</span>
