<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.

C. inertia. the man is sent flying off the bus because of his weight and the sudden stop of the bus. this effect is called inertia. an example of gravity would be throwing an apple up and having it come to the ground. an example of weight would be putting a man and an elephant on a scale and having the elephant come down while the man goes up.

Two of the types of infrared light, ir-c and ir-a, are both components of sunlight. their wavelengths range from 3000 to 1,000,0

NikAS [45]

The energy of a light wave is calculated using the formula
E = hc/λ
h is the Planck's constant
c is the speed of light
λ is the wavelength
For the ir-c, the range is
<span>6.63 x 10^-34 (3x10^8) / 3000 = 6.63 x 10 ^-29 J
</span>6.63 x 10^-34 (3x10^8) / 1000000 = 1.99 x 10^-31 J

For the ir-a, the range is
6.63 x 10^-34 (3x10^8) / 700 = 2.84 x 10^-28 J
6.63 x 10^-34 (3x10^8) / 1400 = 1.42 x 10^-28 J

RC time constant circuit if R 50 KOC-21 a TOSS c. 1.05 s . what is the expected RC value b. 10.55 d. 0.105 s

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Time constant of RC circuit is 0.105 seconds.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Resistance, $R=50\ K\Omega=5\times 10^4\ \Omega$

Capacitance, $C=2.1\ \mu F=2.1\times 10^{-6}\ F$

We need to find the expected time constant for this RC circuit. It can be calculated as :

$\tau=R\times C$

$\tau=5\times 10^4\times 2.1\times 10^{-6}$

$\tau=0.105\ s$

So, the time constant for this RC circuit is 0.105 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

The variation in the pressure of helium gas, measured from its equilibrium value, is given by ΔP = 2.9 × 10−5 cos (6.20x − 3 000

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The wavelength of this wave is 1.01 meters.

Explanation:

The variation in the pressure of helium gas, measured from its equilibrium value, is given by :

$\Delta P=2.9\times 10^{-5}\ cos(6.2x-3000t)$ ..............(1)

The general equation is given by :

$\Delat P=P_o\ cos(kx-\omega t)$ ...........(2)

On comparing equation (1) and (2) :

$k=6.2$

Since, $k=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

$\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}=6.2$

$\lambda=1.01\ m$

So, the wavelength of this wave is 1.01 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A positive point charge q is placed at the center of an uncharged metal sphere insulated from the ground. The outside of the sph

kenny6666 [7]

Explanation:

the missing figure in the Question has been put in the attachment.

Then from the figure we can observe that

the center of the sphere is positive, therefore, negative charge will be induced at A.

As B is grounded there will not be any charge on B

Hence the answer is A is negative and B is charge less.
