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.

MrMuchimi

The solution for this problem:

Given:

f1 = 0.89 Hz

f2 = 0.63 Hz

Δm = m2 - m1 = 0.603 kg 


The frequency of mass-spring oscillation is: 
f = (1/2π)√(k/m) 
k = m(2πf)² 

Then we know that k is constant for both trials, we have: 
k = k 


m1(2πf1)² = m2(2πf2)² 

m1 = m2(f2/f1)² 


m1 = (m1+Δm)(f2/f1)² 


m1 = Δm/((f1/f2)²-1)

 m 1 = 0.603/ (0.89/0.63)^2 – 1

= 0.609 kg or 0.61kg or 610 g

Select the appropriate units for each property of a wave.
IceJOKER [234]

Intensity: Decibels

Amplitude: Meters

Frequency: Hertz

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Wave is not visible to eyes and they can easily propagate through vacuum. the average power travelling at a given period of time in a space is the intensity. Decibels is the measure of intensity. it is measured in the decibel scale. The wave's strength and the intensity gives the amplitude of wave. It is measured using meters.

The wave's amplitude and the energy has a direct proportionality.  The number occurrence of wave cycles per second refers to the frequency of wave. it is measured in hertz. it is also measured as the number of cycles that occurs per second.

First introduce yourself. Start talking to him little by little. Compliment him, that’ll help. Make some jokes, and talk about stuff he is interested in. Make conversation. Try not to be overbearing.

An oblique rectangular prism with a square base has a volume of 539 cubic units. The edges of the prism measure 7 by 7 by 14 uni
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

3 units

Solution:

V=539 cubic units

Square base, with edge a=7 units

Slanted edge length: s=14 units

V=Ab h

Ab=49 square units

539 cubic units = (49 square units) h

h= 11 units

s-h=14 units-11 units

s-h=3 units
