What is a transverse wave

Physics
1 answer:
Gnom [1K]3 years ago
3 0
<span>A transverse wave is a moving wave that consists of oscillations occurring perpendicular (or right angled) to the direction of energy transfer. If a transverse wave is moving in the positive x-direction, its oscillations are in up and down directions that lie in the y–z plane. Light is an example of a transverse wave.</span>

Answer:

570 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram on the rider.  There are three forces: tension force 15° below the horizontal, drag force 30° above the horizontal, and weight downwards.

The rider is moving at constant speed, so acceleration is 0.

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F cos 30° - T cos 15° = 0

F = T cos 15° / cos 30°

Sum of the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

F sin 30° - W - T sin 15° = 0

W = F sin 30° - T sin 15°

Substituting:

W = (T cos 15° / cos 30°) sin 30° - T sin 15°

W = T cos 15° tan 30° - T sin 15°

W = T (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)

Given T = 1900 N:

W = 1900 (cos 15° tan 30° - sin 15°)

W = 570 N

The rider weighs 570 N (which is about the same as 130 lb).

What shape is the graph produced by a force vs acceleration graph?
hammer [34]

The answer to the question<u> What shape is the graph produced by a force vs acceleration graph</u> is A. Linear

Since Force, F = ma where m = mass and a = acceleration. For constant mass, F ∝ a. That is, F is directly proportional to acceleration, a.

Since this is a linear relationship, the graph of force vs acceleration will be linear.

The answer to the question<u> What shape is the graph produced by a force vs acceleration graph</u> is A. Linear

Blizzard [7]
Edit: You do mean Ridge?

Rocks near Mid-Ocean Ridge are younger than rocks near the trenches.

Seismic data shows oceanic crust is sinking into the mantle at the trenches.

Matching bands of magnetic rock are found on either side of the Ridge. Earth's magnetic fields change these bands over time.
