Answer:

Explanation:

Water waves are generally a transverse wave which do not cause permanent displacement of molecules of the medium. Transverse waves are waves in which the direction of propagation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of the particles of the medium.

As the wave propagates from one point to another on the surface of water transferring energy, a molecule of water on its surface vibrates upwards and downwards. Its motion is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. After the vibration, it comes back to its initial position.

A charged ball of mass 10g and charge 2 C is placed at rest in a field of field strength 5NC as shown.
Natali [406]

Answer:

1000 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the ball, m = 10 g = 0.01 kg

Charge of the ball, q = 2 C

Field strength of the field, E = 5 N/C

Acceleration of the ball, a = ? m/s²

We know the the equation holds,

F = qE, on substituting, we have

F = 2 C * 5 N/C

F = 10 N

Also, we know that

F = ma, and as such,

a = F / m, on substituting we have

a = 10 N / 0.01 kg

a = 1000 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the ball is 1000 m/s²

A distant star gives off a visible range of light whose color depends on its temperature. Which model of light does this example
aleksklad [387]

The statement 'a distant star gives off a visible range of light whose color depends on its temperature' is supported by the wave model​.

<h3>What is wavelength?</h3>

The wavelength can be defined as the periodic distance of a given wave that repeats in a constant way.

The emissivity of particles is a function of both wavelength and temperature of a given material/object. Visible wavelengths range from 700 nm to 400 nm (violet color).

Star temperature largely determines its color, blue stars are warmer than yellow and red stars, and red stars are cooler than yellow stars.

In the figure, if Q = 52 µC q =10 µC and d = 55 cm, what is the magnitude of the electrostatic force on q?​
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

F = 15.47 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Q = 52 µC

q = 10 µC

d = 55 cm = 0.55 m

We need to find the magnitude of the electrostatic force on q. The formula for the electrostatic force is given by :

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}\\\\F=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{52\times 10^{-6}\times 10\times 10^{-6}}{(0.55)^2}\\\\F=15.47\ N

So, the magnitude of the electrostatic force is 15.47 N.
