<u>Question:</u>

Which statement is true of a wave that’s propagating along the pavement and girders of a suspension bridge?

A. The wave is mechanical, with particles vibrating in a direction that is parallel to that of the wave, forming compressions and rarefactions.

B. The wave is electromagnetic, with particles vibrating in a direction that is parallel to that of the wave, forming compressions and rarefactions.

C. The wave is mechanical, with particles vibrating in a direction that is perpendicular to that of the wave, forming crests and troughs.

D. The wave is electromagnetic, with particles vibrating in a direction that is perpendicular to that of the wave, forming crests and troughs.

E. The wave is mechanical, with particles vibrating in a direction that is perpendicular to that of the wave, forming compressions and rarefactions.

Answer:

The statement “The wave is mechanical, with particles vibrating in a direction that is perpendicular to that of the wave forming compressions and rarefactions” is true of a wave that’s propagating along the pavement and girders of a suspension bridge.

<u>Explanation: </u>

As it is stated about the wave propagates in the given question, the first thing to confirm is the wave should be a mechanical wave as electromagnetic wave will not penetrate the suspension bridge.

Then as both the pavements and girders are rigid structures present in suspension bridge, the wave can propagate in them which are forming compressions and rarefactions.

The transverse waves cannot pass through them because of the polarization property of transverse waves. Also as they propagate in compression and rarefactions mode, the particles will tend to vibrate only in perpendicular direction to that of the wave propagation. So, the last statement is only true.

Neutron stars are extremely dense objects that are formed from the remnants of supernova explosions. Many rotate very rapidly. S
Vlada [557]

Answer:

The required angular speed the neutron star is 10992.32 rad/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass of the sun M_S = 1.99 × 10³⁰ kg

Mass of the neutron star

M_N = 2( M_S )

M_N = 2( 1.99 × 10³⁰ kg )

M_N = ( 3.98 × 10³⁰ kg )

Radius of neutron star R_N = 13.0 km = 13 × 10³ m

Now, let mass of a small object on the neutron star be m

angular speed be ω_N.

During rotational motion, the gravitational force on the object supplies the necessary centripetal force.

GmM_N = / R_N² = mR_Nω_N²

ω_N² = GM_N = / R_N³

ω_N = √(GM_N = / R_N³)

we know that gravitational G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

we substitute

ω_N = √( (  6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ )( 3.98 × 10³⁰ ) ) / (13 × 10³ )³)

ω_N = √( 2.65466 × 10²⁰ / 2.197 × 10¹²

ω_N = √ 120831133.3636777

ω_N = 10992.32 rad/s

Therefore, The required angular speed the neutron star is 10992.32 rad/s
